If you're a Batman fan who wanted to see how the Dark Knight would look in an anime, then this is a decent quick watch for you. This collection of shorts depicts different vignettes depicting Batman in action (Deadshot, Scarecrow and Killer Crock), how others perceive him (a group of kids and a detective not trusting him) and showing him go through uncommon situations (testing a new device whipped up by Lucius, dealing with pain from a gunshot wound). All the shorts are animated by different animation studios and they look very impressive with highly detailed character designs and scenery with dark shades of colors that go well with the setting and crime-ridden mood of the Batman mythos. Animation throughout the shorts were very fluid showing some intense battle scenes and some slick looking camera angles such as the perspective of a bullet being fired during an assassination from Deadshot in his short. This series of animated shorts was made in mind for fans of the Batman series (comics and/or animated adaptations) requiring one to have at least some familiarity with the source material with the appearances of some foes in Batman's rogues gallery and detectives among Gotham City's police department. Otherwise, you might be lost over whatever gets mentioned in this series of shorts featuring the Caped Crusader.
