Sadly I was quite disappointed by this film. I knew that the format of the film would be slightly different as the trailer said it was six stories from six different directors. This I didn't mind, because really they were just six different parts to the same story and there was a definite overall plot. I was more disappointed with the film as a whole.
Batman: Gotham Knight is supposed to take place between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I didn't really feel this because to me the Batman in this film didn't really resemble the Batman that Christian Bale plays in the Christopher Nolan films. Therefore for me it didn't really fit in the Batman universe Christopher Nolan had created and felt more like it because it was a different Batman that it belonged in a different Batman universe. If I disassociated Batman: Gotham Knight film with the Christopher Nolan Batman films, then I was able to enjoy it much more.
The first two stories I found slightly boring as they didn't really feature Batman as the main character. Instead they dealt with the Batman myth and how people didn't understand him. Was he human or was he an actual bat? Was he good or was he bad? The concept of these stories works very well, but sadly I found them slightly boring. The stories then focus more on Bruce Wayne becoming Batman.
Sadly I didn't find this film as good as I thought it would be. In terms of animation film spin-offs I found The Animatrix much better.
