Boring White Men and Awesome Animation Make Up Batman: Gotham Knight Anime Preview
Admittedly, this 10-minute preview for the Batman: Gotham Knight anime is mostly talking heads from DC Comics, including director Bruce Timm, who’s overseeing the six separate Batman stories being created by Japan’s greatest anime studios. However, the best of art and animation shown in the trailer is kind of awesome. I’m sorry to say that I’m hard-pressed to say anything shitty about it, and I’m now far more excited about Gotham Knight than I am about The Dark Knight. Sorry, guys?I feel I let you down.
