Attendees at this year’s Wizard World Chicago convention will have the opportunity to see the direct-to-DVD animated film Batman Gotham Knight a little bit earlier than the rest of us. Warner Video sent over some info on the premiere screening of the film on June 28 in the Windy City. Hey, one of our bloggers even gets to introduce the movie:
The Batman Gotham Knight premiere will commence at 7:00 p.m. in the 1,500-seat hall within the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and the screening will be followed immediately by a panel featuring executive producer Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Justice League: The New Frontier) and a quartet of the film’s writers: Academy Award nominee Josh Olson (A History of Violence), Eisner Award-winning writers Brian Azzarello & Greg Rucka, and five-time Emmy Award-winner Alan Burnett. The film will be introduced by DC Comics President and Publisher Paul Levitz, and DC Comics Senior Vice President of Creative Affairs Gregory Noveck will moderate the panel.
The Saturday night event will require tickets, which you can get starting at 10 a.m. that Saturday in the Wizard World Chicago ticketing area. They’ll have an un-ticketed second showing Sunday at 2 p.m.
They also sent some more images from the film:
The DVD comes out July 8.
