Here’s a quick excerpt
With Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Indy, Wall-E, and Wanted behind us, it seems everyone is starting to count the weekends to The Dark Knight (it has already broken records for ticket pre-sales at 21 days out). Will I see Hancock? Hell no. Hellboy 2? Hell yes.
But Warner Brothers has something special planned for us Batty fanboys to wet our appetite. On July 8th they will release Batman: Gotham Knight on dvd. It’s an animated film with six anime-style shorts, featuring Batman fighting the likes of Scarecrow, Killer croc, Deadshot, and written by Batman begins scribe David S. Goyer and comic book writer Brian Azzarello, among others.
