"Batman: Gotham Knight" review

Cartoon Network premiered "Batman: Gotham Knight" tonight, and I must say, it was much better than I expected.

In case you didn't know, "Batman: Gotham Knight" features a series of 6 shorts done by various Japanese animation directors (a la Animatrix, for the Matrix trilogy). Being a fan of both anime and Western animation, I was curious to see what this was like, and I was pleasantly surprised...

For one thing, they got Kevin Conroy to do the voice of Batman (he was the VA for the Batman animated series from the 90's). An excellent choice, because to me, he will always be the voice of Batman (just as Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, will always be the voice of the Joker XD).

Anyways... I'll get on to reviewing the various shorts.

( Cut for possible spoilers from the movie(s) )

So, if you want to see a tie-in for the new Batman movies, or like the old 90's Batman cartoon, I'd recommend watching "Batman: Gotham Knight". The animation style (for the most part) is excellent, and very much in keeping with Gotham City's dark tone.
