Storyline

In this 6-story anthology collection, Batman faces new villains and old ones in a time-line after Batman Begins. In "Have I Got A Story For You", 3 kids tell wildly different stories about Batman during a fight through Gotham. "Crossfire" focuses on two policemen who end up getting in the middle of a crime battle. "Field Test" has Lucius Fox creating a new technology for Batman, but is it too powerful? "In Darkness Dwells" features Killer Croc and Scarecrow, who have kidnapped a priest. "Working Through Pain" goes through flashbacks of Bruce Wayne's training while Batman finds his way through the sewers. Finally, "Deadshot" focuses on the titular sniper, who has a new target in Gotham.

Trivia

According to Conroy on the DVD commentary, when they originally did Batman: the Animated Series, they recorded the voices first, and then did the animation. However, for this project, the animation was already done, and the actors had to match their voices with what was seen on the screen.

Goofs

Even though this film is intended to act as a loose bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, during the period when Wayne Manor is being rebuilt, the final segment, "Deadshot," shows Bruce Wayne and Alfred living in the manor.

User Reviews

Gotham Knight

Plot follows Batman Begins time line and appears to me to exist between that movie and The Dark Knight.

Great seeing more in this version of Batman.

Watch past the 1st episode because the animation is different for every episode.

I didn't like the first because of the animation but the story made up for it.

3 great villains; Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and Deadshot(sniper).

Can't wait until The Dark Knight comes out.

Enjoy this until then for only $13 at best buy on DVD.

Also, Batman Begins on Blue Ray is on sale for $19 at best buy.

I would like to have seen more of Killer Croc but I understand you can't ruin the chance for Batman to put him down in a Live action movie.
