Batman: Gotham Knight

What you just said was honestly ridiculous. It is not a matter of what people are allowed to do, it is a matter of what people should do. And in my opinion, nobody should mix anime and Batman simply because I believe the character, plot, and tone wouldn't translate well at all into the anime style.

Also your logic makes no sense. Because, in your opinion, we butchered the Transformers franchise, that means that they will be make this Batman installment better than "ANYTHING" made by Americans? Umm, right.

The context of that post was obviously lost on you, so I'll break it down for you...

You said that Batman and Anime should never mix... What I basically said (or at least tried to say) was that people by nature want to make things the way they're used to, so obviously, people who are used to anime would want a character they're not used to to be used in a style they are familiar with... If Anime Batman = New Batman Fans, then I'm all for it...

And yes, I think if Americans are allowed to have a chance adapting Transformers in a way we're used to (movie takes place on American soil, American actors, etc.) (which we butchered, btw), then I think the Japanese are allowed to have a chance adapting Batman in a way they're used to... It's a simple, fair solution (and I'm sure they won't butcher it, either)

No context was lost.

What you're saying just isn't relevant.

I don't care if the Japanese have good intentions behind what they're doing, etc, that really doesn't matter. In your first paragraph above you are defending why they are doing it and what you fail to realize is that it makes no difference. Just because somebody has good intentions behind a project doesn't mean they should do it.

And secondly, you keep on bringing up the fact that because Americans are "allowed" to adapt Transformers, they should be "allowed" to adapt Batman. When did I ever mention anything about anyone being "allowed" to do anything? Of course they are allowed to. What I'm saying is that they SHOULDN'T. Not because they don't have the right to do so, but because the end result will suck for various reasons, imo.

Could be good.

But I know at least one of the six stories is an anime.

all six stories are being animated by one of three Japanese studios.

only one is actually being directed by a Japanese person though.( Satoshi Kon is a fantastic director by the way)

I can't wait to buy several copies.

Deadshot's new look reminds me of someone...yet I can't put my finger on it

also that crock short has sort of a mignola/Hellboy look, which isn't a bad thing.

AniBatmantrix has the potential to be really good.

Thats good to hear. Conroy's voice has always been great when he portrays Batman.

If its half as good as phantasm it will be worth watching. I doubt it will deliver anything as competent in the story, as phantasm did. Personally, i would be happy with animation better than the saturday morning cartoon style, and a fairly mature story. DC likes to make these animated movies with the lowest budget which brings HORRIBLE animation.
Why can't someone invest in hiring accomplished artists? When Batman and Wolverine were handled by manga artists. THe result was a rare and beautiful product. The only element missing was story telling. If you search for it, you can find the japanese drawn opening to the X-men cartoon. Considering that the opening was done with no budget and many years ago. It is astounding to me that its artwork is till better than any current, western cartoon. Not to mention that the opening shamed the american drawn and korean colored cartoon.

The sneak peak looks great, and I will most likely purchase this.

If you took the time to watch any anime beyond what is played on cartoon network you would find that anime is a less strict style than you believe. Try comparing Hellsing Ultimate to Poke'mon. This is just one example of anime's range in styles.

There maybe two editions a regular and a limited edition...or...there maybe a recall like the one that happen with first BB comic book dvd. Which later became a collector's rarity.

Or...just for the heck of it. 😉

Just curious about this, I have a 2 disc Collectors Edition of Batman Begins, and it came with a comic book that has the first original batman story, another one about batman's training, and a part of "The Long Halloween".

I bought it the day that the film was released on DVD. Is that what was recalled?

If so, Why?

I ask because my version works fine!

Damn that batman preview on the youtube link has been taken down.

It's up again! Enjoy!

Love it

It's defenetly a Batman summer. 😎

Gotham Knight looks really cool, but if this is supposed to take place in between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight then how come in some of the shorts he looks like Batman from the comics...and so does Scarecrow. Either way this is going to kick ass.
