Batman: Gotham Knight

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.

Serenity: Those Left Behind

If you're a fan of Firefly and the sequel movie Serenity, then you might be interested in this. Serenity: Those Left Behind is a comic book that tells a part of the story which takes place in between Firefly and Serenity.

If you can remember the last episode of Firefly, then you will also remember that when you came to watch Serenity that there was a big chunk of story in between the two that hadn't been explored and therefore was left for the audience to fill in the gaps.

Well Serenity: Those Left Behind fills in some of those gaps for you. This is why I love Joss Whedon, because even though his show got cancel he still can't leave it alone, and I for one am glad. The comic reads just like an episode of Firefly and I found it very enjoyable to read. My only problem was that it was too short. But thankfully this is not the only Serenity comic. In fact there are three more comics, which are called Serenity: Better Days #1, #2 and #3. There is also a bonus story on Dark Horse Comics' Myspace (which also has lots of other free comics to read including Joss Whedon's Sugarshock) called Serenity: The Other Half.

In other Joss Whedon news, if you were lucky enough to see Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog then the soundtrack is now available internationally on iTunes.
