Akira Bike IRL

Weekend find on Gizmodo brings us the Akira motorbike.  Even though I think this story is really over a year old, its still very cool.

Kaneda Motorbike is Not as Mighty as Jason Chen, Still Kicks-Ass [Akira]:

Check out this Kaneda-esque motorcycle. Sure, you’re thinking it is great mod, but apparently it is a fully licensed machine that is completely road legal, (in Japan at least.) Due to the Japanese text of the home site, we aren’t too sure of the exact details of the underlying motorbike, but just take a look at it. [Neo Fukuoka via Hell For Leather]

Batman the Anime

Take a sneak peek at Batman: Gotham Knight.  In the similar vein of the Animatrix, DC collects famed Japanese artists to tell their tale of Batman fighting various villains in six short films written by Josh Olson, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg, and Alan Burnett.

Satoshi Kon is rumored to be ones of the six directors, but judging from the styles of clips shown, we’ve got Studio 4C, Production IG and Madhouse (Satoshi Kon again)—basically your mega-power players are involved in one kick-ass dvd!

I didn’t catch the bit about this being the bridge between the two Batman movies

Independent Comics grabbed some clearer stills from the sneak peek, but you can watch the preview in its full YouTube glory after the jump.
