I was 15 when Batman: Gotham Knight came out. I had loved DragonBall Z and was getting into other shows like Naruto and Bleach as I was discovering anime. So, naturally, I loved Gotham Knight. Years later, I discovered the graphic novel Batman: Child of Dreams. It's a pretty darn good comic, written and drawn by a prolific manga writer. I would go so far as to say it's a hidden gem that could use a bit more love. I re-read it recently and it got me thinking...
Based on the art in that book, and some of the art styles in Gotham Knight (some, not all of them), I think an amazing Batman anime could be be made. Something grounded with an art style closer to something like Ghost in the Shell. So, what do you folks think? Do you think the Bat-verse would suit an anime or manga visual style? Have you read Child of Dreams? And, did you like it if you did?
