Gotham Knight

Gotham city! The dreaded imaginary city where crime ruled till he walked in. His dark attire earned him the name 'Batman'. So when Christopher Nolan brought back to life Batman on silver screen starting all over from scratch, both critics and fans drooled all over the world. 'Batman begins' was a masterpiece (where Nolan even managed to put in signature time interleaving) and the sequel 'Dark Knight' is just around the corner. At this moment, the producers have come out with a direct-to-DVD anthology of six anime shorts on Batman titled 'Gotham Knight'.

This is in the lines of 'Animatrix' which was released between 'Matrix' and 'Matrix Reloaded'. While Animatrix told stories which were not directly relevant to see the other two movies, it came out more like an icing on the cake. 'Gotham Knight' is none the less. If you loved the animation that Quentin Tarantino gifted us in 'Kill Bill Volume 1', grab this DVD!! Gotham Knight is supposed to tell the story between 'Batman Begins' and 'Dark Knight'. All the six shorts have their own different mode of animation and the collection is impressive to say the least.

PS: Bruce Wayne (Batman) does figure in many of my posts. Hope it conveys the point that I am a fan :). Thanks to Mr.Nolan! Still waiting for the Knight to make an entry here...
