Anime USUALLY doesn't work with American comics. I sort of like to keep them separated from Manga, but this didn't feel like Anime. It also didn't work. I thought it was beautifully done, but the deformed people don't work with American superheros. The backgrounds were beautiful, but it all came across as is too ugly and unpolished for a comic. Distortion has it's place and I will argue all day that Jae Lee was the best Batman artist (an one of the best artists period) to grace the comic, but this didn't look like Jae Lee distortion, it just looked ugly and lazy for an American style comic. There has to be an element of POP to an American comic, and Gotham Knight lacked that pop.
