DC Comics, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation will present the World Premiere of the DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movie, Batman Gotham Knight, at Wizard World Chicago on June 28, 2008.

Scheduled for an evening presentation, the Batman Gotham Knight premiere will be followed immediately by a panel featuring members of the film crew and cast, including legendary animation producer Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Justice League: The New Frontier); acclaimed comics writer Brian Azzarello and Emmy Award-winning television writer Alan Burnett. Other filmmakers and voice talent are expected to participate.

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 The Dark Knight, each with stylish art from some of the world’s most revered animation visionaries.

Batman Gotham Knight will arrive July 8, 2008 on DVD and Blu-Ray disc, and will also be available On Demand via digital cable and for download through broadband sites.

Some people don`t seem to be too keen on the animation , but I definitely like the idea. Reminds me of the Animatrix, which I really liked. Looking forward to seeing this.

Some people being me. I love most things Batman, but I also hate most things Anime. The clips and pics I've seen haven't been encouraging for me at all, though.

Oh well. The Dark Night will be more than enough as a Batman fix for me, anyway.

In the picture on the right above, Batman's mask reminds me of the villian from Gatchaman.

I want to see this.

Sportwarrior: We'll let you know how it is.

I'm not big on anime but my love for Bats will definitely make me see this film and if it's anything like Animatrix, like ponyboy mentioned, then it most definitely be worth it in my opinon.

PS. Keep your eyes open for www.ibelieveinharveydent.com, on Sunday Dent is supposed to give a speech.
