This animated DVD release is a
fine addition to the Batman legend.

Review by Gregor Richardson
Gotham, where the bad are mad.
A metropolis sagging under the weight of gansters,
sewer-dwelling mutants and a mythical hero who takes flight
to fight for the good and the true.
The animated Batman Gotham Knight comprises six chapters in
the saga - our caped hero battles the Croc, an enormous fire
breathing mutant; the Scarecrow, a scythe wielding
psychopath; and Deadshot, a cyborg sniper.
Originated by Bob Kane decades ago, this franchise looks like
becoming one of the runaway success stories of the year with
a much anticipated feature, The Dark Knight, receiving rave
reviews around the globe.
And make no mistake, Batman Gotham Knight is a fine addition
to that ever-growing body of work.
Ably directed by Anime master Shojiro Nishimi, whose vision
of Gotham is both glittering and grimy, the 73-minute movie
is a must see.
