This was terrible.


Possibly my least favourite of all DC animated films in recent memory. Everything felt silly, forced, unnatural and uninspired. What a massive letdown.

Definitely awful.

I hate that the focus was put on all those Batman wannabes. Batwing? How original, name yourself after the plane.

To be honest, I enjoyed it more than the other, previous films. Ones like Assault on Arkham or Son of Batman, I feel like how you feel about this, ha. In general, all of DC's recent animated films are as you describe: "silly, forced, unnatural and uninspired". Due to the writing that just really makes no sense. Things happen just for plot or for a fight. The past few years as an entirety have been a letdown sadly...

Young Justice. The one gem in all of this.

I feel the same way you do concerning these recent DC animated movies. While I thought this one was okay, the last one I truly enjoyed was Flashpoint. The writing has gotten pretty poor, with loose characterization and lame, limp stories. Thankfully the animation at least appears to be getting better, even if I dislike the character models themselves. Maybe that new Justice League cartoon will be a gem in DC's animated output, though I'm not holding my breath.

OMG I think my head just blew up trying to read your rambling text.

Seriously, if you want to be taken seriously, use punctuation and spell check. This is almost as bad as reading "text" messages on a pager.

Agreed. This lame sidekick movie sucked.

I agree. This was a spit on the face. Didn't like how they portrayed Batman in this. And that cliched formula, antagonist-becomes-good was pathetic, especially when it involved Batman.

Which antagonist do you mean? Heretic didn't turn good; although Talia killed him for being weak. Talia didn't turn to good. Onyx didn't turn to good; she was just seeking revenge.

I completely agree, and felt the same way. So disappointed that I brought it and threw it away.

It was lame. I'm really missing Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie. These movies haven't been the same since, although Assault on Arkham was really good.
