New DVD Picks of the Week: 'Gotham Knight' & 'Batman Begins'

Filed under: Animation », New Releases », DVD Reviews », New on DVD », Home Entertainment », Comic/Superhero/Geek »

Batman: Gotham Knight
Like the Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight is a collection of filler stories. Created by the hands of different writers and animators, Gotham Knight was made to bridge the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But it's not just a collection of adventure stories -- these blips into Gotham take the story from all sides -- the villains that wreak havoc, the police whose work is interfered with, the kids who spot him in action, and even Bruce Wayne working with Lucius Fox on gadgetry. Be prepared for the look to be different -- this isn't your ordinary looking Batman -- but there are also nods to the past. Kevin Conroy voices Batman in this collection, just like he has for many years now on the animated series.

Of course, no true special release can be free of features, and Gotham Knight is no exception for this 2-disc release. On the first, you get a disc-wide commentary with Kevin Conroy, Dennis O'Neil, and Gregory Noveck (it pours through each episode) and a good preview of the upcoming animated Wonder Woman. On the second, you also get a long documentary called "A Mirror for the Bat" that discusses the character and the villains he fights, another called "Batman and Me, a Devotion to Destiny: The Bob Kane Story," and some final extras that focus on Batman: The Animated Series.

Further information on this release can be found, in-depth, at DVDTalk.

New Images From 'Batman: Gotham Knight'

Filed under: Animation », Warner Brothers », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Remakes and Sequels », Images »



Warner Bros has released a few new stills from the animated feature Batman: Gotham Knight, and they're available over at Kung Fu Rodeo. I particularly like this one, it's got that Frank Miller vibe to it.

Gotham Knight will be released directly to DVD on July 8th, 2008, to coincide with the theatrical release of The Dark Knight. It will feature six interlocking stories that will span the time between the two movies and is penned by an impressive array of movie, animation and comic book authors. Batman fans will be particularly pleased that Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series), Greg Rucka, and Brian Azzarello are among them. Unless you really hated anything Rucka and Azzarello wrote, in which case ... I'm sorry?
