Summary: Disappointing, Preachy, Incoherent Hodgepodge
Comment: About the only thing that can be said in favor of this film is that the animation is often striking and beautiful. Otherwise, it suffers from all the defects of the animated series after Warner Bros. decided to turn it into a marketing gimic.
The animated series as developed by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and others was great, but once Warner Bros. realized they had a success they had to milk it for all the money they could: rework it for a younger audience, make it lighter, less dark and less intelligent.
Gotham Knight is dark, but for the most part only in the visual sense. The story line is almost indecipherable -- pointless twists and turns, jumps -- a mess.
The characters are superficial as is the annoying philosophizing.
Someone like Alan Moore can pull this off. But Warner Bros. can destroy his work and they destroy whatever might have been good in Gotham Knight.

Summary: A shame to comic books fans everywhere
Comment: WoW.. this series of 6 short, and i mean short cartoons blows..
1 "Have I Got A Story For You"- The animation is equal to the crap you find on cartoon network as of late "Dexter's laboratory" "ed edd and eddie".. that kinda crap. The cgi used for the backgrounds were well done and the sound track was alright. But when I buy an animation I like to enjoy the quality of the artwork.The story line was dumb I thought
2 "Crossfire"- The animation was much much better but the color of the short was so dark it was hard to see the picture even after adjusting the contrast color brightness etc. It gave me the feel from the spawn series from HBO. Good story line but again crappy art. Now do not misunderstand me I know Batman is a "dark" character who creeps in the night. I'm not a major fan but even if it takes place at nite and in shadows the viewer should still be able to see what is happening. There is a big difference between crappy art and being dark art.
3 Field Test" Was probably the best short. With animation similar to the japanimation in my collection I could now focus on the story fully. Again nice backgrounds and an interesting story.
4 "In Darkness Dwells" Was a mildly entertaining short. Again great city scenes and backgrounds. But poor character animation AND it was dark in some parts. Shadows on a persons face shouldn't be giant triangles of pure black.
5 "Working through the Pain"- Had good art work but I found the story line to be less interesting then the others. It was more of a lame flash back character development short.
6 "Deadshot"- This story was among the best on this collection as well. Clean animation with great city scenes and an interesting story to follow.
This title also comes in a 2 disk version and a limited edition Best Buy exclusive steelbook w/ a guide.
