I haven't been a fan of any of the DC or Marvel animated films. The animation is too flat or too much the same. the characters and story are not fleshed out at all. I had, however, high hopes for Gotham Knights. Its Batman after all. I'm not a big fan of Japanimation but was looking forward to the different visionaries taking on the project. The result was less than stellar. Stories are too short and the first handful move slowly, it barely features Batman (from his point of view at least) enough, it is a Batman film afterall, the look of Batman in some of the designs is pretty blah. The fight scenes are non-existent. Very disappointed overall. The last episode with Deadshot was good, however way too short. How does this film fit into the Nolan-verse of Batman? Go see The Dark Knight! Skip this dvd. I say with sadness of course...
