From Warner Home Video: Batman: Gotham Knight was headed by an impressive list of directors who have brought their distinctly different anime styles to the classic Batman character. The production was divided among three renowned studios - Studio 4ºC, Production I.G and Madhouse - and included the truly inimitable visions of directors Shojiro Nishimi, Futoshi Higashide, Hiroshi Morioka, Yasuhiro Aoki and Toshiyuki Kubooka.
With stories written by several of the most talented writers of film, comic books, and animation, including Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson (A History of Violence), David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Emmy®-winner Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series), Jordan Goldberg (Associate Producer, The Dark Knight), and award-winning comics writers Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello, Batman: Gotham Knight presents thrilling new adventures of Batman that spotlight several of Gotham City 's most dangerous villains, including the fearsome Scarecrow, the freakish Killer Croc and the unnerving marksman known as Deadshot . Batman: Gotham Knight is produced by Emma Thomas (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight), Michael Uslan & Benjamin Melniker (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight), Toshi Hiruma and Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series).
Comments from The Patriot Resource: Batman: Gotham Knight is comprised of set of six short stories that build on the vision of Batman as established in Batman Begins and built upon in The Dark Knight. We were looking forward to this presentation since it brought back Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as the voice of Batman and had the involvement of the Batman: The Animated Series' Producer Bruce Timm. The new film definitely evokes the dark style and tone of the latest films. While Gotham Knight endeavors to fill in the darker origins of the character and his psyche, we found some of the tales confounding. As a result, we still hold Batman: The Animated Series in higher regard for its storytelling, although we do feel that Gotham Knight is superior in animation and style and it did bring Kevin Conroy back as the voice of Batman.
