Have you watched Gotham Knight dayv?

I'm planning to check it out but hearing very mixed things. All i'm after is honest opinions not hype about it linking the films and what not.

Of those that have seen TDK, what are your thoughts on a sequel? Would you be satisfied if they don't do any follow up films? Personally I'm satisfied with where the story currently lies, And I'm also concerned that the studio may want to keep churning out sequels given the success...which could lead us back into Joel Schumacher territory at some point. Granted that's a worst case scenario [in my mind].

I ACTUALLY HAD THE DVD ABOUT A WEEK EARLY. THERE WERE PARTS THAT REMINDED ME OF THE ANIMATRIX. THE FIRST STORY SEEMED TO BE A TAKE OFF OF ONE OF THE EPISODES FROM BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES WHERE 3 KIDS TELL THEIR VERSION OF WHAT THEY THINK BATMAN IS. DEADSHOT WAS GREAT. THERE'S A STORY THAT LEADS DOWN INTO THE SEWERS THAT REALLY TIES INTO THE DARK KNIGHT. ALL-IN-ALL I REALLY ENJOYED THE DVD.

HERE'S SOME AWESOME NEWS...
