Story-wise Batman Gotham knight starts off a little badly but soon gets better. Much better. Bridging the gap between the films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, it doesn't always make sense but gets most of it right. The Amnie style animation (by the leading studio of the time) works really well and brings something new and a little different to the mix which is refreshing and very entertaining. As always, Kevin Conroy (the voice of Batman) brings an element of authenticity to the project but when you see that the likes of Brian Azzarello and David S. Goyer are attached as writers, I do wonder whether it could have been that little bit better?
