Gordon from a highly-renowned assassin).

First of all Batman rocks and we like to see him bleed as it's his vulnerability that makes him much more interesting in comparison to superman and in this Japanese anime we get to watch him bleed profusely from stab wounds and gunshots as much as you'd expect from a man with no super powers.An anime rendition of Batman is a nice treat, but the last thing we want to see is Bruce Wayne looking like the typical anime hunk with long, streaming hair and glassy eyes.The animation in this segment is the most elegant and impressive. The story focuses on Batman's pursuit of the assassin Deadshot, who uses a high-tech, laser-guided sniper rifle to pick off his victims. It's an exciting game of cat and mouse that's worthy of concluding the anthology.
