As adept as the animation unit usually is at bringing the tone of the comics to the screen, at times this feels like a sitcom premise.

Not very good Normally I'm a big fan of Batman movies, but this one was a pretty subpar movie. It was a run of the mill story, with a whiny kid in tow. Sure it'll entertain you, but will leave you wondering about the quality of the story after.

It could've been better. I like how it shares continuity with Justice League War. Jason O'Mara is a great actor. His Batman voice is great but his Bruce Wayne voice needs improvement. Maybe a higher pitch or make the Batman voice a little more deeper. Damian character could've been worked on a bit more. I enjoyed Nightwing's cameo. The father-son moments were well planned. I questioned whether this is before or after Justice League there was no mention at all of them or the event that followed.

Pretty good The movie was fine, but it was too violent. I don't have anything against violence but it felt like there was way too much unnecessary blood. In Flashpoint Paradox all the blood felt important, in this it was all "red shirts" who bled like gushers exploding.

Fast paced movie This is a fast paced action movie, story may seem a little rushed at times but it all comes to a great conclusion. Voice acting was stellar, animation was good and the development of the main character is great. Enjoy this great addition to the DC universe.

DCU gets it DC's animation team takes another storyline from their comics and makes it into a animated film. It's a formula they have done before and it is one that works. In this we're introduced to the character Damian. The son of a tryst between Batman and his on and off love Talia the daughter of Ras al'Ghul. Damian is an entitled prat trained from birth to be a master assassin and he skirts a line between likable and unlikable. Nightwing takes a minor role in this tale and we see Slade "Deathstroke" Joseph Wilson as the central villain and he gets a kind of origin story as well. The voiceovers are somewhat lacking compared to other DCU movies but this is one of the most action packed. The fight scenes are well done enough but the story line seems rushed but still this is better than the direct to video animation we get from Marvel by leagues (no pun intended).
Worst DCU animated feature by far This movie is crap. Death Stroke is Death Stroke in name only. He doesn't have the strength of ten men, nor is he a master tactician. In the comics he even fought Wolverine to a stand still after kicking the crap out of Colossus (yes it happened in a cross over). In this "feature" he rapidity gets his ass kicked by Batman's 10 year old bastard son. Yes, Damian is a bastard in every sense of the word. Annoying, pretentious, and some how he just kicks every one's asses like he is Super Man on crack. I haven't read Damian in the comics, but here he is complete garbage, I was wishing they would pull a Jason Todd on his one dimensional ass. Knightwing was so useless and rarely used that they should have just left him out to preserve his dignity. I am a huge Dick Grayson fan since Burt Ward's portrayal, loved BatMan the animated series, etc. But man was he here just to say "look Knightwing is in this movie"? Talia Aul Gul was basically a rip off off Scarlet Johanson's Black Widow character, but worse and even more one dimensional. The voice actor for Batman was ok, he's no Kevin Conroy, but he was decent. Ducky from NCIS wasn't bad as Alfred, but again a far cry from Efrin Zimblist Jr

Excellent Batman is his standard persona and nothing surprises him. Not even the announcement that he has a child. Good thing it was a boy. The storyline is superb, the only thing that could be better is the price. $20 for 1.3 hours? Just because that may be the norm price doesnt makenit entirely fair.

Lame movie This movie does not fit very nicely into the Batman Legend. Everything is forced, and the viewer has to believe whatever is presented or else the plot falls apart. Personally it pains me to see Batman drawn in Anime style with all its shortcuts and choppy movement. I can't recommend this film to anybody who appreciated the Bruce Timm approach to the Dark Knight.

Good but... It was good and I agree with most the facts but I don't understand why this implemented the New 52? I was expecting more from this movie but it was yet another disappointment from DC and I hope they clean up their act cause I do miss all the original DC items and the characteristics that brought out the true colors of Batman but know this is just a joke. Other than that it was fairly good. Yes I do understand that others form their own opinions but Damien Wayne is not critical to the Batman story line. :/

Unrealistic to the max The end fight upset me very much. First off Damian would not have been able to fight after his arms were pirced 2nd Deathstroke should have killed him in 2 minutes 3rd Deathstroke thinks 9 steps ahead are you telling me he honestly charged in with his sword not thinking there was a 90 percent chance Damien was going to hop out the way when he stabbed that take of green stuff I mean did he come to every conclusion exsept the biggest one.. yeah right im tired of Deathstroke being under used and abused
Hold on This movie has been better then most out there. Give it a rest at least there not having Ben Affleck doing the voice and this movie was better then the last live movie. I mean come on bane looked nothing like bane and secondly at least the animated movies stick to true characters. Ben Affleck as an older bat yah I'm gonna rush out to see that one. I've been a fan of a bat for a long time more so eleven Conroy knows how to do it rite
