Batman: Gotham Knight

Six-story animated anthology. Have I Got a Story for You (2008), directed by Shojiro Nishimi and animated by Studio 4C, is its opening segment and is already included here; watching it separately repeats that story. Kevin Conroy voices Batman in the segment. Crossfire (2008), directed by Futoshi Higashide, written by Greg Rucka from a story by Jordan Goldberg and animated by Production I.G, is also included here; watching it separately repeats that segment. Crossfire credits Kevin Conroy as Batman and Jim Meskimen as Gordon. The unrelated 2008 Claude-Michel Rome crime feature Crossfire must not be imported as this segment. Gotham Knight was designed as optional supplementary viewing between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and also works independently; neither live-action film requires it. Retained in Animated Elseworlds as an editorial grouping. Packaged Batman: The Animated Series episodes and documentaries are separate extras. Field Test (2008) is the third included segment, directed by Hiroshi Morioka, written by Jordan Goldberg and animated by Bee Train. Watching it separately repeats that story. Kevin Conroy voices Batman/Bruce Wayne and Kevin Michael Richardson voices Lucius Fox. Contemporary reporting times its Comcast presentation at 11 minutes 36 seconds; its exact first standalone availability date and complete supporting/silent character coverage remain unresolved. Working Through Pain (2008) is the fifth included segment, following In Darkness Dwells and preceding Deadshot; watching it separately repeats that story. Toshiyuki Kubooka directed, Jordan Goldberg supplied the story, Brian Azzarello wrote the screenplay, Kevin Manthei composed the music and Studio 4C produced the animation. Segment credits identify Kevin Conroy as Batman/Bruce Wayne and David McCallum as Alfred; both official DC identities are verified and already linked here. Parminder Nagra voices Cassandra and Hynden Walch voices Young Cassandra; Cassandra is not established as Cassandra Cain. The segment's exact runtime, any separate release history and complete supporting/silent character coverage remain unresolved.
