Batman: Gotham Knight

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I liked the Scarecrow/Killer Croc one the best, especially the scenes in the cathedral and the sewers. Reminded me of "Batman: The Cult" but with a musical score to boot.

The others were alright too, especially Deadshot. I recommend it.

And btw, I am still awaiting my copy of Batman #678 here in this "Green Zone". There's something wrong when the DVD arrives before the comic.

The story Olson is referring to in the article is "The Batman Nobody Knows." It's in Detective Comics #560 and "The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told."

Awesome. There couldn't be a better replacement for Bale. I know I'll be buying this on day one.

To be fair, Weezie from The Jeffersons could provide a better Bat-voice than Bale.

Honestly, I have to say I thought it was great. "Have I Got a Story For You" and "Working Through Pain" were both great, but "In Darkness Dwells" just might be my favorite simply because of how well it (from an artistic perspective) utterly exemplifies the mythology of Batman. I don't think even the DCAU shows have managed to, from a purely visual and stylistic standpoint, capture the grit, creepiness and brutality of Batman's world so well. "In Darkness Dwells" is also the piece that seems like it fits least into the Nolan Bat-verse which is odd given that it's written by Goyer.

"Field Test" was the piece I thought fit easiest into Nolan's Bat-verse and I should've liked it more but I just couldn't get over the bizarreness of the
Bat-design. "Crossfire" was the only one I thought could be considered bad. Not sure what was going on there.

I totally agree with everything you said there. Well, except of course for the Weezie part. Lol.

Who's Weezie?

What does his Batman voice sound like?

That doesn't sound very fair to me.

weezie is the woman.

and just in case, that guy was being sarcastic.

crossfire-greg rucka

Mystery solved!

Nah, I kid Rucka. But yeah, it was pretty weak installment. (On another note, it figures he'd write the segment that prominently features Not-Montoya)

Looks like I'm the only one around here who totally despised this release. I would have prefered they released a feature length movie as they have done in the past. The six stories were for the most part - idiodic.

[Dr. Banner]

I think it'd have been better if they'd brough Nolan into the project more and followed more closely within his vision. That would've made this great instead of just so-so.

The Emmy-winning comic book cartoon veteran talks to CBR about his role in "Batman: Gotham Knight," why he chose Deadshot as a villain, and why he thinks his old "Super Friends" cartoons are "unwatchable."

I was majorly disappointed as well, but I find it improves upon repeated viewings...and I found the last two shorts to be very very good...but I wished it all was as good as the last two shorts.
