Batman: Gotham Knight

No spoiler review!

Batman: Gotham Knight is a mixed bag. While the animation style is visually striking, the stories in the anthology film are hit-or-miss. Some segments are engaging and well-written, while others feel underdeveloped and lacklustre. The voice acting is solid, but the overall experience is underwhelming. It's worth a watch for die-hard Batman fans, but it's not a must-see for general audiences.
The film's anthology format allows for a variety of different styles and perspectives, which is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, it keeps the film fresh and allows for different takes on the iconic character of Batman. On the other ... hand, it makes the film feel disjointed and uneven.

Some of the segments stand out, such as the one directed by Shojiro Nishimi, which features a unique animation style and a tense and thrilling story. However, other segments fall flat, such as the one directed by Futoshi Higashide, which feels poorly written and rushed.

The voice acting is good overall, with Kevin Conroy reprising his role as Batman. However, the film's soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't add much to the overall experience.

In conclusion, Batman: Gotham Knight is a decent watch for fans of the character, but it's not the best representation of the Dark Knight. It has its moments, but it also has its shortcomings.

Additionally, the film's anthology format is not without its drawbacks. It can be jarring to jump from one story to another and not all stories are equally strong, making it difficult to fully invest in any one of them. Furthermore, some of the segments feel disconnected from the overall Batman universe and lack the depth and complexity that the character is known for.

The film's animation is impressive and the character designs are faithful to the comics. However, the animation quality varies between segments and is not consistent throughout the film.

In summary, Batman: Gotham Knight has its good points, but it also has its fair share of flaws. The animation is visually striking, and the voice acting is solid, but the storytelling and overall cohesiveness of the film are lacking. If you're a fan of Batman and anime, it's worth a watch, but don't expect a masterpiece. It is just there. 3/10.

It wasn't the best anime of Batman which I've seen to date, but I think that this anime was far better than the Chris Nolan Batman movies in comparison. The stories were all independent in my opinion. While the overall character development in this anime was interesting to watch, it didn't really hold that much value for me because I just felt in a transition.
The artwork was passable, if not average. On the whole, I think it was just able to keep my attention, but not such that I would watch it a second time.

okay when i first heard about this I was really looking forward to it. I mean I love batman but i have to say this really let me down. I mean these are some of the best writers of our time (or at least thats what they kept telling us) and this was the best tehy could come up with
