iancollazo This Film has dissapointed me and angered me in ways that few movies have, the first third of the film is one of the most horribly written films i have ever seen, and the other two thirds are almost a carbon copy of the comic its based on. This film is not worth watching. This film hurts me more than any other Batman film. The way they have written Barbara Gordon is so disrespectful, and this prologue has absolutely no impact on the story itself. Don't waste your time, watch Under The Red Hood instead.

bjornst Prime source material and this is the result? It's watered down, incoherent and lacks direction. I'm saddened by the fact that this is the result of the cinematic adaptation of this groundbreaking novel.

mts-78680 Didn't cost me money and still felt like I was cheated. Batgirl was only interesting part of story which sets her up for follow-on storyline. Script and direction was a SHAM. Ending was pitiful. Only gave it these many stars because fight scenes were acceptable but obviously below average.

WadiDosiTosk What an astonishing movie, especially the first half is fun and entertaining. While the original story by Alan Moore turned Barbara Gordon into a mere plot device (after Mister Moore was told to "cripple" her by some immature consecutive named Len Wein), this movie actually goes deeper and makes matters personal, as Batman finally has a reason to hunt the Joker down and stop the maniacal, sadistic and murderous "Clown Prince of Crime" for good...something the Dark Knight has failed to accomplish in all those years, despite having had endless chances and opportunities to do so. Bruce and Barbara have a friendship which goes beyond what the comic canon had established on New Earth/Earth-1 (the main universe in which most of the Batman stories take place). It is for that added romance and backstory which turns a simple retelling of a comic into a television masterpiece. A backstory was necessary, as the viewer had not seen Batgirl in the DC Animated Movie Universe yet, except for a small cameo at the end of some animated movie, and that was the New 52 Burnside- Batgirl, not the more well known one with the yellow and black outfit, so it was very kind of Brian Azzarello and Bruce Timm to add half an hour of pure greatness.It is sad how so many butthurt people crap on a wonderful movie, just because two FICTIONAL adults had sex once. Those people should be ashamed of themselves and consider living in a church for the rest of their lives.
