-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Yes, you heard it, the man who brought us the emmy award winning Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League/Justcie League Unlimited, and giving us DC's DTV series that started with Superman: Doomsday and we're waiting for the upcoming Justice League: The New Frontier, is doing the anime series; Batman: Gotham Knight.
It was revealed on the Toonzone forums where he answered a member's question that he is invovled with Gotham Knight, and revealed that its 6 segments (so this is like Animatrix), and there are three composers who will do 2 segments each. Robert Kral, who did the score for Superman: Doomsday (that you can now get at music stores), is doing two. With the other two composers being: Kevin Manthei, who is doing the score for Justice League: The New Frontier and who did the scores for Scream 2-3 and the film version of Resident Evil, and Christopher Drake, who did the two Hellboy DTVs and is also currently doing the third.
Another thing that was revealed was the three writers on this anime. The people are Josh Olsen (A History of Violence), Batman Begins writer David S. Goyer, and comics scribe Brian Azzarello.
So it looks like those who didn't want to be bothered by this are now going to get this when it comes out.

Batman: Gotham Knight is a 2008 anime direct-to-DVD anthology film of six animated short films set in-between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Directed by Bruce Timm, co-creator and producer of Batman: The Animated Series, the film's six segments are written by Josh Olson, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg, and Alan Burnett. Each segment has its own artistic style, just as numerous artists work in the same DC Universe.
