Batman : Gotham Knight

Posted by Jaren as Comics, Cool Stuff, News

Batman : Gotham Knight gets an official release date on July 8, 2008, the new animation feature film from Warner Bros. and gives us a sneek peak of what happens between Batman Begins and Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight which opens on the theaters on the 18th of July, now supposedly this animation feature film will be a sort of the “animatrix” for the Batman movies kinda like what the real Animatrix did for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

Watch out for it, because I’m sure as hell I’m gonna buy it when it comes out, and maybe contemplating if I should get the Blu-ray Hi-Def Edition, which I know would be so much better.

Batman: Gotham Knight explores events that happened between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, which opens on July 18th. The creators of the new Batman film commissioned three anime studios, Production I.G., Studio 4C, and Madhouse and five noted anime directors (Shojiro Nishimi, Futoshi Higashide, Hiroshi Morioka, Yasuhiro Aoki and Toshiyuki Kubooka) to create a series of six interrelated Batman adventures based on stories by Josh Olson (A History of Violence), David Goyer (Batman Begins), Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series), Greg Rucka (Whiteout), Jordan Goldberg (producer, The Dark Knight) and Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets).

Batman: Gotham Knight will be released just ten days before Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight debuts in theaters on July 18th. The single-disc version of Batman: Gotham Knight will have an MSRP of $24.98, while the two-disc Special Edition will go for $29.98 and will include lots of extra features that will also be included in the Blu-ray hi-def edition (MSRP $34.99). The single disc edition will include a documentary on Batman villains as well as commentaries from the filmmakers and a preview of the Wonder Woman direct-to-DVD animated feature. The two-disc edition also includes a documentary on the life and works of Batman creator Bob Kane and a selection of director Bruce Timm’s favorite episodes from Batman: The Animated Series.

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
