What Parents Need to Know
About Batman: Gotham Knight
Parents need to know that this is a cartoon anthology, not to be confused with the Batman movie The Dark Knight. It's also unlike the various Batman children's TV cartoons over the years. The approach goes for a more "grown-up" Batman viewership/reader demographic, mainly via bloody PG-13 type violence, and not much humor. No Robin or Batgirl, and Gotham City is depicted as overwhelmed with gangs and bizarre evildoers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the unconventional style and approach. What do kids think of this more "mature" Batman, in both late 20th-century comics and movies, vs. the earlier, more lighthearted Bat-antics, most infamously represented on 1960s TV. Is an animated Batman more effective than an actor in a live-action epic? Do you like Batman a psychologically tortured character or a straight-up high-tech crimebuster? You can discuss Batman as the dark counterpart to Superman and what makes him special among superheroes.

Well...
The movie is just a bunch of poorly made very bloody batman cartoons. It's rated PG-13 for a reason.

Trashy!
This movie is the trashiest Batman film ever. The animation for some of the segments are cheap and while I usually love anime, it just didn't work well. Oh, well! At least Kevin Conroy played as Batman. KIDS SHOULD NOT SEE THIS FILM! It has tons of blood, even a beheading.
