Batman: Gotham Knight...Who's picking it up?
You can see a five minute preview here.
I, for one, will love seeing this on Blu-Ray on July 8, and it's supposed to tie in with the Animated Series and the Batman Begins films. I'm not too keen on the animation I've seen, but Kevin Conroy as Bruce's voice warrants a big from me. He is the cartoon voice for me, and I instinctively hate the 'toons who use someone else as a voice actor.
Thoughts?

How were the bonus Animated Series episodes Bruce Timm supposedly hand-picked for the disc? Seeing them on Blu-Ray should be cool, especially if WB is thinking about releasing the whole BTAS (wishful thinking) on BD...

Oh, by the way, I knew from the instant Sal Marconi opened his mouth that it was the legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen, best known by me as Raphael on TMNT.

He's been in a ridiculous amount of television...I wish voice actors were more widely recognized...you know, like the crazy fan worship above.

I'll be picking it up, but I may wait until December, when TDK is released on Blu. I have a feeling we might get a "Buy The Dark Knight and get Gotham Knight for $10" kind of deal. Or at least I'm hoping.

I watched the DVD yesterday. It's very fair. Nothing special at all. The best story/animation is the first one (where Batman is interpreted as a beast). Very fair stuff. It's just Blah. Not bad, not good, just blah!

I thought the best was the one where it shows Bruce learning to deal with pain and anger. The first one with Batman as a monster was also well done.

Scott1598, the only reason I rationalized buying the 2-disc was because the 2nd disc has 4 episodes from the Batman cartoon. I haven't watched those yet, but if I knew of the lacking reviews, I would have passed totally on both editions...

My favorite on the DVD was Deadshot.

Yeah, I remember it was a later Batman with the Frank Miller spin.
Long story short, I think if you like Batman, you'll enjoy it, not love it dearly, but enjoy, and if you're ambivalent concerning the source material, you'd probably hate it.
I did like seeing the 4 eps, though...

It was indeed the last season. It was titled "Legends of the Dark Knight".
Here's the part w/ the Frank Miller style art.
