Batman: Gotham Knight (2008)

As is the case with most collections of shorts, the films in Batman: Gotham Knight are of varying quality. Few are remarkably good or bad, and there's only one I'd classify as a must see for Batman fans. While all of the movies are fairly well animated, most are forgettable, and the project doesn't live up to its potential.

The standout for me is Brian Azzarello's "Working Through the Pain", which I consider to be a definitive Bruce Wayne story. It's a quiet tale compared to some of the other shorts, but it's a beautiful character study with a lot of depth.

The varying styles showcased by animation studios is reason enough to watch this once. If you don't let the names and studios attached to this project get you too hyped up, it's a pretty entertaining excusion.
