Critics Consensus

Batman: Gotham Knight boasts striking animation and standout segments, but its lack of cohesion makes it an uneven yet ambitious bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

A bit of a mishmash, but two-thirds of it is really good.

Batman: Gotham Knight is an awful attempt at cashing in on a franchise and little else.

The stories are fairly pedestrian and the animation disappointingly ordinary.

3.5/5

An interesting blend of anime style and one of the comic-book world’s most famous faces. Even as someone who isn’t a huge fan of anime, I appreciate the visual styles of Batman: Gotham Knight… for the most part.

6/10

Sadly the structure chosen for Gotham prevents it from being remarkable, delegating each chapter to be a relatively forgettable short story that has little impact on the overall lore.

This movie has been overshadowed by the live-action Batman. This movie is an experiment, or feels like it anyways. It follows the cape crusader in different locations, plots and time. The movie is separated in segments, each one having a different animation style. It's good and worth a watch, tho nothing mind blowing.

good but but to many storylines. That don't add up

Much too short and its six sketches range in quality but this animated feature suceeds in expanding the Nolan Batman universe in some unique ways and has some truely great moments despite being painfully underdevoloped
