Batman: Gotham Knight
Two-Disc Collector’s Edition
Order this DVD

The next original animated DC Universe movie is Batman: Gotham Knight, and Warner has just announced that its world premiere will be at Wizard World Chicago on June 28.

The evening showing will be followed 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.

This movie consists of six short films set between Batman Begins and the upcoming Dark Knight feature. They’ll each have different styles, but the same lead voice, Kevin Conroy. It will be available for purchase on July 8 and rated PG-13 (as all the original DC Universe animated films have been).

Well, that’s some great news. I’ve been fairly impressed with the Original DC films. Especially The New Frontier.

I’m surprised about Brian Azzarello being included, since he’s a writer that’s never really been that tied to the character. (the one Batman story I read of his was pretty bad)

Still the previews made this look interesting.
