"Batman Anime" To Be Called BATMAN : GOTHAM KNIGHT


OK, We reported along time ago that Warner Bros was working with the concept of a special Batman Animated Feature to be released on DVD before THE DARK KNIGHT movie in 2008. They have finally released a little more information. The new title is BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT. The stories' time-line happens directly between BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT. Sort of a Dark Knight Prequel, if you will. The good news is that it will be directed by Bruce Timm, heck yeah! Writers include: Alan Burnett, Josh Olsen, Greg Rucka, David S, Goyer, Brian Azzarello, & Jordan Goldberg. The story will be told with six different shorts all linked together in some way. A few of the Japanese animation companies that will work on the segments will be Madhouse, Studio 4*C, & Production I.G. I know that Production I.G. has done a lot of work with"The Ghost in The Shell" & they do amazing work. This is sounding better & better all the time. I'm really excited about this, hope it's good.
