Is Gotham City Really New York?
Batman stands on his favorite gargoyle, in front of a humongous clock overlooking Gotham City. You always what time it is in Gotham, but you may not actually know what city you're in. Gotham City is a weird mish-mash of architectural styles and a crazy-quilt of neighborhoods that don't quite fit together. This has never been more obvious than when you pay attention to the new Batman: Gotham Knight animated DVD, which is itself an uneasy mix of different stories. Click through for an annotated gallery.

Four different kinds of Batman will appear in the first segment of the animated direct-to-DVDBatman Gotham Knight, including Robo-Bat, Actual Human Bat, WTF-Bat and Bloody-Face-Bat. These many bat-flavors feature in writer Josh Olson's (A History Of Violence) Gotham Knight chapter, "Have I Got A Story To Tell You." In the chapter a group of kids have a run-in with the Batman and they retell their versions of who or what Batman actually was. Olson also revealed that his version of the bat-story would be told backwards as a nod to Chris Nolan's Momento. Click through to see a gallery of the rest of Olson's bat-characters.

It's a slightly different Gotham city in the direct-to-DVD animated movie Batman: Gotham Knight. The city proves it deserves to be name-checked in the DVD's title, with some startling vistas including new and stranger gargoyles, weird searchlights and even a giant ferris wheel. The city of dark spires suddenly has a ton of personality. Check out a gallery, and find out whom Batman fights in the DVD's segments. More »Maximum Spoilers For Indiana Jones And Hancock
