Batman Gotham Knight (2008)

Oh god its an anthology of short stories. Yeah these can be done right but If I'm spending 2 hrs with you, you better tell something good if we gotta rush it instead of fleshing it out.

=Design=
This movie has 6 stories and 3 of them have dreadful art. Story 3 has anime art which is neat but seems out of place.

Batmans suit looks is standard thru all of these.

Scarecrow gets one of the coolest looks I've seen in this film. He actually has the scarecrow arms sticking out as like shoulder pads giving him a real creepy look.

Killer Crocs design is weirdly polygonal, didn't like it.

Deadshots looks is hilarious, its male Carmen Sandiego

=Story=
Story 1: Some kids tell stories about how Batman rescued them exaggerating a lot. They meet up in this abandoned gym or just 'urban gym'. The one kid didnt meet batman and is jelly. Just then Batman crashes thru the wall fighting this.... diver suit guy. Hes beaten pretty bad and the diver guy uses a gas grenade and wants to stab Batman in the back. And he almost succeeds but the kid that didnt meet batman beats the baddie with a skateboard. Batman thanks the kid they leave and the kid has a story to tell.

Story 2: Crispin Allen and a young Renee Montoya are serving under Lt Commish Gordon and its early Batman times. Allen wants to quit is against the Batman, Renee grew up here and feels the Batman is needed. Arkham Aslyums already taken over an entire part of the city which is wild. They get in an argument and somehow park inbetween the Maroni and Russians having a turf war. The hell? They almost die, Batman saves them and it ends with them in awe.

Story 3 : This ones actually really good because it actually focuses on Batman instead of those who live in the world around him. Batman/Bruce and Lucius come up with a repulse emp thingy that will make bullets ricochet off of him. He goes into the field and tries to break the peace between two gangs at the docks over turf. A bullet is shot at batman, and almost kills one of the gang leaders. Batman rushes him to the hospital and hes like this is my battle no one else can get hurt on my watch. ignore the fact I cripple people rawr

Story 4: Batman and the Police are chasing Killer Croc, this is Batmans first encounter with him. He travels in the sewers, battles him and then is LIKE I CANT TAKE A RIDE GORDON I AM THE NIGHT RASPY RASPY

Story 5: This story is fantastic. Batmans been stabbed/shot/something bad and is in the sewers crawling his way out, Alfreds on the way for him. It flashes back to him seeking out a way to deal with his pain in some foreign country. The slowbuild and detail here are really great. A lot of focus on his pain being something not just hard to deal with but outright dangerous. As Batman tries to climb out his hand grabs onto a gun, and then another. By the time Alfred finds him he has tons of guns, so much pain from others in his hands.

Story 6: For some reason Batman has the guns in a bag from the last story but don't worry that won't come into play. Instead this about Batman versus Deadshot. Deadshots targeting the Commish but it turns out its just to lure Batman out to kill him. Theres a moment Batman almost kills Deadshot but instead just standard cripples him.

3 and 5 are fantastic, 6 is ok, and 1/2/4 are dreadful

=Cast=
Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman in every story is well perfect

Jim Meskimen as Gordon and Deadshot in Story 6, he was Ultron in Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite. I liked this casting quite a bit

Everyone else was so bit part or had a single line that I'm gonna punt

=Fun Stuff and Random Thoughts=
1. Scarecrow as stated above has a great look

2. Deadshots Carmen San Diego look is great
