Batman Is Less Flammable Than I Remember
MTV posted five minutes of the Gotham Knight anime on its blog (sbove for your viewing pleasure) and I’m surprised to say I’m feeling a bit underwhelmed. It’s from the Crossfire segment, and I never would’ve guessed it was made by Production I.G?the character designs looks weird, the dialog barely matches the mouth flaps and there’s a lot of shots with no background whatsoever. Also, Batman stans in the middle of a fire for about a minute. Has the dark knight always been flame retardant and I just never knew it?
