I really enjoyed 2008's Gotham Knight, so this grabs my attention.

Are they ever going to run out of things for Batman to do?

I was really hoping that Viking Batman would get a movie first. Dammit.

I'm a sucker for crazy animation styles and character designs. Gotham Knight was deep dark eye candy.
This looks like Gotham Knight on acid. I am so in.

I finally give up hope, thinking they have lost their spark, and they drop something crazy like this.
Does anyone know if this will be in theatres, or is this another straight to DVD release?
