Batman: Gotham Knight is a fresh and exciting new entry into the Batman mythos, spinning out of a 40-year history in animation including the Emmy-winning Batman: The Animated Series, widely considered a pivotal moment in American animation. A cross section of distinguished creators, award winning producers, and acclaimed writers weave six interlocking stories that reveal Bruce Wayne’s journey to Dark Knight, each with stylish art from some of the world’s most revered animation visionaries.

This is the kind fo stuff that should be in the mainstream. Animation should not just be for kids. I would much rather see an animated Justice League with all the bells and whistles as opoosed to a mediocre live-action. If we just went the route that the Japanese practice, animation would be looked at as a legitimate meium to tell a story and not just saved for Disney Prncesses. I can't wait for this project.
