What a beautiful movie!

Redundant and unnecessary.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is not my favorite Batman animated movie but at least it has more updated animation and has good music in the movie considering it was annoying in the end credits.One thing that still remains to be answered is that did Bane survive the explosion on the fairy boat?But overall good movie.

SPOILERS.What do you get when you remove the subtly, the artistry, and development and pacing of "Batman: The Animated Series"? You get this.The art is more flash than substance here; even though the animation of the 1992 series wasn't always up to standards, it still felt better suited. The opening looks cheap and like it was a rushed tact-on addition.The writing is amateurish and makes clichés of all the characters we came to love. It's pretty bad when the best line 20 minutes in is a throw-away line by Alfred reading Dennis the Menace in the newspaper. It takes more than another 20 minutes before a good scene comes again.Speaking of menace, the menace of Thorne is gone. The Penguin is reduced to a mass arms dealer and not the artsy Shakespearian fiend previously known, and another actor takes over voicing. Batgirl is turned into a clichéd young woman love interest. Even black people are a little clichéd here. And what's wrong with Kevin Conroy's voice?Composer Lolita Ritmanis, whom contributed great efforts to B:TAS and S:TAS, seems to not have been inspired by this either, as the music doesn't hold a candle to the previous series and is sorely cheapened by being made with synths instead of an orchestra. Also, it lacks the class of earlier Timm efforts.Everything is rushed and it doesn't breath, it doesn't flow properly, and there's no investment; it just goes by the motions. I cringed several times.And if that weren't enough, the special ends with a terrible song.Just a terrible effort.

Well it's been ten years since the release of this one, and I've only just got around to seeing it. Why? Well probably due to its reputation of not being anywhere as good as Mask of Phantasm, Subzero or Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest.However, I can't help but feel that this film is underrated, it maintains the the feel of the Animated Series very well, despite Bruce Timm not having any involvement, and while some would complain that it isn't as dark as the others, it is important to remember that TAS was intended for both children and adults, while Phantasm was certainly aimed more at the latter, Mystery was aimed more at the prior. This isn't a bad thing though, it contains a lot of the quirkyness of some of the more light-hearted episodes, a lot of which were brilliant, while still having a lot of content that adults could enjoy as well.The animation for this one is superb, it really shines through, particularly on facial expressions and even the explosions look great. The mystery had me guessing for the good first 2/3s of the movie, but in the end once it's all revealed, the motives seem a little hazy, and while I did enjoy the several love interests happening at once, it did seem a little unnecessary and the very ending seemed a tad off. The music was great, but the Quentin Tarantino-esc credit scene was a little out of place. All in all a good movie:7 out of 10

good batman film which is animated this is about penguin and Rupert Thorn developing hight Tc laser guns then a mysteries new vigilante that calls herself bat women is trying to destroy all of the weapons and the factory before more get made and a lot of other plans against evil and things turn a lot worse than it has ever been before and bane comes to help penguin kill bat women. and everyone is thinking it could be Cathy Duncan.this whole film is action packed all the way through and a lot of cool fight scenes in it. overalls its great for kids not really a good film for at least 11+ my score is 8/10 buy this for little kids and watch it with them
