The last few of DC's animated releases had been less than stellar in my view. However, I was looking forward to this trilogy release of the Knightfall storyline and this is a great first entry from the character designs and voice talents with both Anson Mount (Batman) and Michael Mando (Bane) doing excellent work. If I had one complaint, and they did do a fine job adapting this first chapter, I felt this was a bit too short (clocks in around 78-minutes with credits). Still, looking forward to part 2 which will probably come out in December.
