Batman Gotham Knight (2008)

This feature length spin-off from the wonderful Batman Animated series lets 6 different writers tackle the legend of the Dark Knight. Kevin Conroy continues to provide the voice and I consider his to be the definitive voice of the world’s greatest detective, even more so than Adam West. The results from the writers are varied and not as captivating as the series, but they all link together to provide insights into the man, the myth, and the legend.

Josh Olson – A group of street kids discuss if Batman is human, superhuman, or monster?
Greg Rucka – What do the police think of Batman?
Jordan Goldberg - Batman’s gadgets and morality.
David S Goyer – Batman and Gordon vs Scarecrow and Killer Croc
Brian Azzarello – An exploration of Batman’s past and his pain.
Alan Burnett – Batman vs Deadshot, where we learn more of Batman’s motivations.
