A while back we told you about Warner Bros plans for a anime-style six-part anthology that bridges the gaps between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Batman: Gotham Knight is directed by Bruce W. Timm, co-creator and producer of Batman: The Animated Series. The film’s six segments are written by Josh Olson, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg, and Alan Burnett. Each segment has its own writing and artistic style. Basically it’s The Animatrix but with Batman. Check out the first look video after the jump. The animation looks gorgeous.

YouTube removed it, you can find the video here: http://dvdplay.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/sneak-peak-batman-gotham-knight/ thanks to DailyMotion, but they’re surely going to remove it too.

This looks so awesome. Production IG, Madhouse, Brian Azzarello, Satoshi Kon, and Bruce Timm looking over the whole thing?
Yes please!

Thanks for the redirect. Looks breathtaking, it’s about damn time for an anime Batman.

Wow! Very creepy and more agile than Batman used to be in other animated cartoons.

Awesome! It’s going to be great to explore the mythos of Batman on such a multidimensional level. His relationship with his environment, his enemies and himself have always provided much to examine. I am glad they are choosing the anime platform to covey this with. It’s a medium with much visual fluidity and an engaging visual style. With Bruce Timm at the help, this is sure to kick ass!
