moorek Although DC has a reputation for bad live action movies, they have a great reputation for animated movies. I have seen many of them and have enjoyed most of them. This one had too many minor subplots and was weak.1) If you didn't see some of the other movies then elements of the plot line are not clear. All movies should ultimately stand on their own.2) Some DC films have been for kids but this is fortunately darker with some characters actually dying.3) Found it an overall physically dark movie. Yes it is Batman and he fights at night. I didn't realize just how dark the film felt until it was over.4) I liked the extended family storyline a little bit and the multiple villains. Not enough to overwhelm but enough for variety.5) I liked that Batwoman was a gay character. Liked her back story and the scenes with her father. However she was not an especially good fighter and that lack of experience seemed to endanger others.Worth watching and owning if you have the other DC movies. It is on Netflix so you can watch it free.
pissed Although it's clear the plot is aimed at mature audiences, it's also without doubt that young children and teens will be watching. It's Batman! So why is it necessary to make one of the characters a lesbian? This kind of corruption and filth is already injected into nearly every show on TV. Every movie coming out of Hollywood. Now kids can't even watch Batman without being subjected to this perversion! It's either pandering liberal interests, or it's purposeful manipulation and programming. Either way, it's crap! I don't even watch TV anymore for just this reason, and now they've taken Batman, too! Wow, still not enough lines? How many more ways can I say it? It's crap! It's CRAP! Queers and lesbians! Total B.S.!
Argemaluco I had my doubts, but I now have to recognize that the animated movies based on the "New 52" Universe of DC Comics ended up being better than I expected. Unlike the "classic" Animated Universe, these films don't adapt specific comics or narrative arcs (like All-Star Superman, Batman: Year One or Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox did); instead of that, they take fragments from diverse stories in order to integrate dynamic tales which respect their printed origin while taking advantage of the animated medium in order to establish their own identity. In other words, Batman: Bad Blood is made for the comic readers, but at the same time, it contributes to the formation of an animated continuity which will probably not be limited by those comics. However, I'm starting to notice the negative part of that strategy. I liked Batman: Bad Blood, but I found it too ambitious for its short running time. In barely 72 minutes (including the end credits!), the film plays with too many characters, and he introduces not one, or two, but three new members of the "Bat-family". There's simply not enough time to develop in detail the parade of characters, events and sub-plots, and even though many of them are interesting, they are reduced to their minimum expression, something which dilutes their emotional impact and denies the scale of their ideas. I'm not going to mention any spoilers, so I will just say that Batman: Bad Blood would have worked better as a simple introduction to Batwoman (real identity: Katherine Kane), one of the most controversial additions to the "Bat-family" in the comics, who undoubtedly deserved a movie for herself. I wasn't a fan of Batwoman when she made her debut in 2006, but as the time went by, I liked the treatment this character received by other writers in more modern stories pretty much; that's why it was so frustrating to see her relegated to the background whenever Batman: Bad Blood changes its road (which happens many times), and it doesn't adequately conclude what it starts. Fortunately, there are enough positive elements to make Batman: Bad Blood worthy of a moderate recommendation. The quality of the animation is "normal" for the standards of Warner Bros., but the choreography of the fights and action sequences are above average. And the actors make a very good voice work, highlighting Jason O'Mara, Stuart Allan, Morena Baccarin, Yvonne Strahovski, Ernie Hudson and Gaius Charles. In conclusion, Batman: Bad Blood adequately concludes the trilogy initiated by Son of Batman and Batman Vs. Robin, and at the same time, it inspires interesting tangents to explore in future films; I just wish it was half an hour longer, or that it handled less sub-plots in order to dedicate more time to the ones which genuinely deserved it. But it made me have a good time, and I now look forward to Batman: The Killing Joke. Believe it or not, I'm expecting it with more enthusiasm than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I hope they get Mark Hamill to bring his voice to the Joker.
sahildograsd Story- Really nice with some clever twists which you won't be expecting. Dialogue- Good sense of humor. Intelligent puns. Characters- Awesome. I loved it. However, the voice over is not that good. Everyone has same kind of voice. Music- Nothing new or catchy. Like every other Batman animated movies. Editing- Perfect. Well-edited. Overall- This movie is fun to watch. There would many plot twists which you will like. The animation quality is good. You won't get bored during the movie. I give this 10 because it deserves it. . This is a movie you will watch again and again. Go DC Comics. You rule ! Waiting for the next animated movie. Hope it will be as good as this.
