If you like Gotham (which, I apologize that you enjoy that show) you'll love this. It's the perfect marriage of boredom and characters and storylines that I could not possibly care less about. Batman is in one fight and it's against the good guys. Adapted properly you say? I don't really care, because that just means the comic is that boring also.

I love the original mini series by Frank Miller, and this is pretty faithful to that. Trouble is that the film is kinda short and though I like the casting (mostly), I don't care for Benjamin McKenzie as Batman at all (he's rad as Gordon in the Gotham series, though:). I would've liked Conroy, O'Mara, or even Baldwin in the role as they were all very good in other animated flicks as Batman. Other than that, it looks great, and it's wicked-fun to see Jim Gordon kick'n @$$ like he did here.
