BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT is a fresh and exciting new entry into the Batman mythos, spinning out of a 40-year history in animation including the Emmy-winning BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, widely considered a pivotal moment in American animation. A cross section of distinguished creators, award winning producers, and acclaimed writers weave six interlocking stories that reveal Bruce Wayne's journey to Dark Knight, each with stylish art from some of the world's most revered animation visionaries.

BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT was headed by an impressive list of directors who have brought their distinctly different anime styles to the classic Batman character. The production was divided among three renowned studios -- Studio 4 Degree C, Production I.G and Madhouse -- and included the truly inimitable visions of directors Shojiro Nishimi, Futoshi Higashide, Hiroshi Morioka, Yasuhiro Aoki and Toshiyuki Kubooka.

With stories written by several of the most talented writers of film, comic books, and animation, including Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson (A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE), David S. Goyer (BATMAN BEGINS), Emmy-winner Alan Burnett (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES), Jordan Goldberg (Associate Producer, THE DARK KNIGHT), and award-winning comics writers Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello, BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT presents thrilling new adventures of BATMAN that spotlight several of Gotham City's most dangerous villains, including the fearsome Scarecrow, the freakish Killer Croc and the unnerving marksman known as Deadshot. BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT is produced by Emma Thomas (BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT), Michael Uslan & Benjamin Melniker (BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT), Toshi Hiruma and Bruce Timm (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES).
