Gotham Knights

SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No really it sucks bad. OH MY GAWD it was so bad (How bad was it) It was so bad I wanted to slap my mother for making me wear Batman underoos.

What is it you ask. Its a straight to video Japanmation (not anime really anime is normally watchable) POS. It had an Idea ("Hey bob lets make a Animatrix movie with batman. sounds Good John do you have an idea what it will be about?" "Nope but that hasn't stop us before") like the Animatrix. But unlike the Animatrix it's not got a real point. The segments have glaringly different styles of animation and try to loosely follow an over all story arch. The real problems start with the first section which was so badly drawn I barely lasted to the end of the segment. Later on the graphic is better but you never see Bruce, Bats, or any of the regular rogues appearing in a more normal western style. I felt the whole time that I'd give anything for a WB Superman episode or even a Cartoon Network Justice League show.

The Stories were all short even for animation. I think (I didn't time them) they all lasted about ten minutes. The only story arcs are short and have very little character development. Take over all the story arch is fairly complete but when the credits rolled I was left asking is that all? Where is the rest. The one real segment that comes to mind (working through the pain) the one about Bruce(looks Like he should of been in Pokemon) going to find training in India. He has already had some training in Japan from the Ninjas already as you can tell from this fighting style. While this and the segment called Deadshot are very well done and watchable I couldn't get into the rest enough to recommend the whole thing.

If you can rent this from Netflix for the weekend and you have already watch Season 1-5 then it's ok. But if you have to buy it, it's really a skip it.
