Batman: Gotham Knight
Like the Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight is a collection of filler stories. Created by the hands of different writers and animators, Gotham Knight was made to bridge the gap amidst Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But it’s not just a collection of adventure stories — these blips into Gotham take the story from all sides — the villains that wreak havoc, the police whose work is interfered with, the kids who spot him in action, and even Bruce Wayne working with Lucius Fox on gadgetry. Be prepared for the look to be different — that isn’t your ordinary looking Batman — but there are additionally nods to the past. Kevin Conroy voices Batman in that collection, just like he has for many years now on

the animated series.

Of course, no true special release can be free of features, and Gotham Knight is no exception for that 2-disc release. On the first, you get a disc-wide commentary with Kevin Conroy, Dennis O’Neil, and Gregory Noveck (it pours through each episode) and a good preview of the upcoming animated Wonder Woman. On the second, you additionally get a expanded documentary called “A Mirror for the Bat” that discusses the character and the villains he fights, another called “Batman and Me, a Devotion to fate: The Bob Kane Story,” and some final extras that focus on Batman: The Animated Series.

Further data on that release can be found, in-depth, at DVDTalk.
