... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreI appreciate the darker tone that this had compared to "Son of Batman", the main problem I had was with the plot. Everything else is great, but the story is something I've seen a lot of. That's a small negative however, the acting is once again fantastic, the animation is great, and Bruce and Damian's relationship is growing. Again, I don't have a problem with how Damian acts, he's a 10 year old that's been trained to be ruthless and without mercy, and this movie's more focused on him still having trouble adapting to Bruce's code. Only one more movie to go, then it's the grand finale of the Bat-a-thon. The "Son of Batman" trilogy is still doing great and I can't wait for the final chapter.
... View MoreI must say that i was a little bit skeptical before watching this one. "Batman vs Robin" is a Sequel to the 2014 DC animated movie "Son of Batman" and while i definitely enjoyed watching that one i didn't really think it was good. The sequel is also based on parts of the comic book " Court of Owls" from the "Night of the Owls" Storyline and as someone who read the comic i must say that it combines those two stories pretty good.The biggest difference to the source material is Damian who, once again, seems more to be the protagonist rather than his father. So the writers realized that it would be better to make him more likable than in the first movie where he was basically an almost unbearable prick. But here he's a little more like an actual child and it works for the most part especially when Bruce tries to build a relationship with him. Their scenes together are the best in the movie along with the good action which extremely profits from the great animation. The writing, in general is pretty decent and the voice actors do a great job portraying these characters especially Jason O'Mara who is probably my second favorite Batman by now, after Kevin Conroy of course.I won't spoil it, but i want to mention that i really like the ending of this movie. It's not written in a way that this type of story normally ends with and it's also a bit emotional showing that Bruce and Damian really care for each other. It also leaves a bit open ended to set up a sequel which i normally don't really like that much but i'm okay with it here because i'd like to see another movie from this series especially when the third one improves as much on the second one as this one did on the first. Because then we probably could talk about the best animated Batman movie up to this point.
... View MoreBatman VS Robin suffers from one of the most severe cases of the Law of Diminishing Ninjas I've seen since the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series finale. The film also (unsurprisingly) contains very little Batman versing Robin, and Batman also describes the odour of a ripoff Scarecrow gas that is then later said to be "odourless". But it's better than all but one of the past couple of entries into the DC Animated Film franchise, and has a wickedly creepy opening sequence. It's just a shame they couldn't keep it together for this whole Court of Owls re-imagining.41%-Gimly
... View More'Batman vs. Robin' is certainly a step--if not a leap--forward from the rather pedestrian 'Son of Batman', but unfortunately the scant 80 minute runtime isn't enough to take full advantage of its intriguing story.Like the story, the animation is also much improved here, coming closer to the very high standard set by DC animated films like 'The Dark Knight Returns' and 'Assault on Arkham'. Unfortunately the voice acting remains the biggest weakness. Jason O'Mara is pretty lousy as Batman, and none of the rest of the voice cast acquit themselves much better.If they had give this story the space it needed, 'Batman vs. Robin' could've been an excellent film instead of just a pretty good one.
