Trivia:
Although the director wanted to move the flashback scene in "Working Through the Pain" to Japan, the producers chose to leave it in India, in order to show the diversity in Bruce's training. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In the "Field Test" sequence, Batman tries a bulletproof shield that works by generating an electromagnetic pulse to repel bullets at the sound of a gunshot. But bullets travel faster than sound, so they would reach him before the device "heard" the shot. more
Quotes:
B-Devil: Yo, wait a minute. Batman never cut nobody's head off. Everybody knows he don't ever kill nobody.
Meesh: I'm making it more colorful, yo.

Rejoice as Kevin Conroy returns as Batman once again, 9 July 2008
8/10
Author: theycallmemrglass from United Kingdom

This is a collection of 6 animated Batman stories (in Anime style) aimed to fill the gap between Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Each story is directed by different people but unlike Animatrix (WB's first animated filler compilation, done for the Matrix series), the look and feel of every episode is too similar to actually distinguish. The mood is more dark, violent and brooding than any other screen Batman interpretations. The first episode starts of relatively lightweight and is the most humorous. The stories then get edgier and darker. The whole compilation makes for an enjoyable viewing as Batman deals with the wild imagination of kids, spiritual healing, Hinduism!, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and a hit-man called Deadshot. But for me, the real joy of watching Gotham Knights is listening to the definitive Batman/Bruce Wayne voice that is Kevin Conroy, who has been the voice of Batman in every animated form from 1990 to 2006 (I think). Here, he is the voice of several variations of Batman and is pure joy to listen to. I have to admit though that a couple of Bruce Wayne animated interpretations don't really fit with his voice but Conroy's voice acting more than makes up for it. The animation is great but not anywhere near as radical as Animatrix or recent Anime films. The action scenes are quite thrilling. Also, very worthy of mention is the exhilarating soundtrack, particularly in the Scarecrow episode. All in all, this is a great addition to the Batman animated collections.
