DVDActive have posted up the first shots of the soon to be Gotham Knight DVD and Blu-Ray cover.

Warner Brothers have today reveal the official website for Batman: Gotham Knight. There’s very little information on the site at the moment, but it does include snippets of the video documentary we recently saw leaked on YouTube – with a lot more anime, helpfully the site comes with some copy and paste embed code:

EDIT: YouTube video taken down (odd considering it seems entirely promotional), you can still find a copy at IO9.

Here is our first look at the six part straight to DVD anime that fills in the gaps between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Far from a teaser trailer, this is a ten minute “premiere” with a lot of background on the Batman character and the thoughts behind its creation.

As some of you are aware, The Dark Knight movie will be preceeded by a multi-part anime story, similar to the way that the Animatrix worked – although as of late details about this project have been in short supply.

Just Press Play have a brand new screen cap via the latest Wizard Universe issue, illustrating one of the new anime storylines, it does look incrediby awesome.

For the low-down on the six short films in the anime I recommend reading our older post, previously thought to be lost in the depths of our archives. The DVD is set for a direct to video release close to July, but we should see a lot more of the Gotham Knight before then.
