The Gotham Knight

well, just finished the animated movie Batman: Gotham Knight. It was the 1st time i saw an anime version of the caped crusader and i have to say it was pretty nice. for some die hard DC fans, this might not amuse them 'coz it has alot of anime-ish feel; some folks might not want to see a japanese-style batman, 'coz.. let's face it, batman is not japanese (he's an American assuming Gotham is in the U.S.) but despite the japanese look, i still liked it 'coz Kevin Conroy (the guy who's been the voice of batman for over 15 years) voiced him and the effects were awesome. maybe i just like it because i like both worlds - the anime and the american cartoons lol.

Nice job for the japanese animators; they didn't suck in animating my childhood hero LOL!

If you're curous about it view the trailer here
the trailer's awesome btw, it is what attracted me to the movie..

here are the pics from the movie:

If you're wondering why batman looks different in every picture, that's because the movie is composed of six shorts and, each had different directors. and therefore they made six different batmans. i liked every batman except the bruce wayne that looks like a highschool japanese dude.. you'll know what i'm talking about when you saw it. on the other hand i like the bruce wayne in working through pain..

Despite the differences between the original and this. I recommend it.
8/10
