adonis98-743-186503 While escaping a dull party, Bruce Wayne finds Catwoman robbing a vault and gives chase as Batman. Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003) features this little short film called 'Chase Me' and has Batman chasing Catwoman threw the streets of Gotham and even tho i wish there was a bit of dialogue or sound in general 'Chase Me' isn't as bad as most people make it sound like i mean the animation is still great, the action is cool and the pairing of Selina and Bruce is charm to it's fullest. Personally i had a blast and the soundtrack was great too. (9/10)

bob the moo Millionaire Bruce Wayne is at a party and is having a quiet moment to himself at the window when lots of young women flock to him and try and get him to dance with them. He slips away downstairs but finds his safe being emptied by none other than Catwoman! She escapes but he quickly gets into character and Batman is in pursuit.This DVD extra is a mixed bag but yet deserves credit for what it tries to do even if it doesn't really work. Visually the film is good and indeed it is this style that attracted me to watch what I originally dismissed as a children's cartoon. The animated series and films may not have the dark material I still want but at least they are not the day-glo hell that Joel Schumacher was handsomely paid to create (or "spew-forth" to use the correct terminology). In this regard the film flows really well and is quite exciting; the audio however is another matter.The score is a light jazz affair that at different points of the film - interested me, annoyed me, delighted me. It interested me because it was different, because it seemed a brave and experimental step to score Batman using anything other than Gothic orchestration. It annoyed me though because at times it jarred badly with the images on the screen. This combined with the lack of sound effects made it feel a bit like some kid's poor job of putting a score on the top of an existing video. However it worked at the start and the end so I'm wondering why they didn't try to do something to make it work better during the action in the middle section.Visually it is impressive and I did enjoy the style and the flow, but it is broken up by the lack of effects and the soundtrack. A nice try that deserves credit for using jazz instead of Gothic music but it does feel like a track has been plonked down onto the film rather than the film has been scored.

dan2058 'Chase Me' is absolute proof that a decent soundtrack can make a film. Unfortunately this is not a positive comment in regards to this Batman short, where the laid back jazz track does its utmost to derail a silent tale that has the potential to be brilliant. Credit to the production team for attempting a new approach to the scoring of a Batman film and taking a step away from the orchestral Gothic that has become a staple of all recent efforts, but this misses the mark by a long way.The story itself is quite brilliantly told, remaining not only coherent but very watchable despite the score's attempt to wring it of all tension. The superb imagery that we have come to expect from the Batman cartoons is the reason I give this 4 stars rather than 1. Never has a cartoon series used shadow, blacks and reds as well as this. Here is a short that could have had real gravitas and could have been a memorable entry into the Batman cannon, if only for a decent tune!

Ninjadamus Chase Me is a silent animated short starring Batman, Catwoman, and featuring cameos from a few of Gotham's popular residents. This short was part of early editions of the Mystery of the Batwoman DVD. More recent editions lack it which is a shame because Chase Me happens to be quite a gem. The story is simple, Bruce Wayne is at a dinner party, one thing leads to another and suddenly Batman is chasing Catwoman before a backdrop of majestic night time cityscapes. The action is accompanied by a subdued, atmospheric jazz score. I thought the animation was beautiful. Chase Me is brief but satisfying and a worthy, minor addition to the epic DC Animated Universe.4/5
