Go Nagai (永井 豪 Nagai Gō, born September 6, 1945) is a Japanese mangaka and an important innovator of several genres within anime and manga.

When he was 20 he created Kuro No Shishi ("Black Lion"). In his series Harenchi Gakuen (ハレンチ学園, Shameless School, 1968–1972, Shonen Jump magazine) Nagai used eroticism and extreme, graphical violence in children's comics for first time in Japan, thus breaking taboos and becoming quite controversial. His use of violence and gross humour were also widely loathed in many corners of Japan's society. The series ended dramatically: all the characters died during a massacre. This type of content and story would be a trend in most of Nagai's later work.

In 1970, Go Nagai started a company, Dynamic Productions, to fund his manga and anime ventures. Dynamic Productions' first titles were Getter Robo and Abashiri Ikka (あばしり一家, Abashiri Family).

Review: 'Batman: Gotham Knight' DVD
I suppose at the end of the day Gotham Knight comes down to being a release about vision and potential. If you care about the two then you'll fawn over these episodes but if you're a stickler for traditional Batman and don't appreciate anime or its influences then this release probably isn't for you; especially if you didn't like what The Animatrix accomplished. Those looking for something different that will make them want more should consider this animation strongly recommended (bordering a high one).
