Batman: Hush [Blu-ray] [2019]

This movie was an adaptation of the comic. The animation was great but the story was different from the original comic book. Overall it was a good show, plus the figure was neat.

If you read the comic, you definitely need to watch this movie. Pretty awesome job! Really enjoyed it. Doesn’t disappoint!

Say what you want about the DCEU offerings, DC has nailed the animated front and Batman:Hush is no exception. Based one of the most popular batman stories of all time, Batman Hush takes the 12 issues mini series and condenses it down to a 90 minute movie with great success. a combination of Whodunit mystery and love stories The voice acting is solid with Jason O'mara returning to voice Batman and Jenifer Morrison (House,Once Upon A Time) turning in a solid performance as the voice for Catwoman. I will admit that the two together don't have mush chemistry at first but they grew on me. Great action and animation which is to be expected from the DCAU and a large number of villains appear as well. Joker,Harley, Bane,Poison Ivy ,Scarecrow, Lady Shiva and Clayface all make appearances. Overall this is a great addition to an already excellent DC animated movie library.

This DC Animated Universe movie comes in the 80th anniversary year of Batman and it is packed with most of the caped crusader’s rogues’ gallery. I liked the story and the animation, but the voice acting could have been better. Additionally, the brief “strong language” in the movie seemed very forced in order to gain a PG-13 rating. The Blu-ray A/V is good. The bonus features are the standard ones for DC animated movies: commentary, making of, bonus cartoon of Batman the Animated Series (in HD!), and previews for other DC animated films. Also included is a great DC Showcase Short: Sgt. Rock. It is good to see the return of Showcase shorts to these DC Animated Universe movies.

We see Batman go through a lot of trials in this movie. He takes on his gallery, he explores love, and his code is tested. The movie is great in the visuals, the writing, the music, the voice acting, and so much more. There are changes made to make it fit in the current universe and it works well. A good balance of humor and drama in between all the action. Some will complain about the changes and cuts, but the movie maintains the heart of the story when it comes to Batman and his challenges. A worthwhile watch for fans of Batman.

A Batman Hush movie has been talked about for years among fans. This is fun and still a pretty cool story, but there are aspects comicbook purists will not like. The animation style mirrors the New 52 art style more than Jim Lee’s iconic artwork. This includes efforts to tie in the Batman Hush story with the new 52 DC animated universe movie continuity they have been producing. While the story remains largely the same, some changes in this adaptation will irk comic book fans (without giving away any spoilers). Best buy’s Limited Edition Batman Hush packaging which includes the Hush figurine is very cool. He is now sitting on my desk at work with Batman and the Joker next to him.

I’ve been a big fan of DC animated movies since the early 90’s with Batman the animated series. The story is great and the voice actors are fantastic. The animation in 4K looks amazing and the DTS-HD Master Audio is immersive. Normally these animated films sound stage are from heavy but this movie filled out my side and rear surround channels quite well. If you like all things a Batman you’ll enjoy this movie. I highly recommend it!

Batman: Hush is an adaptation of a well received comic book story of the same. The animated version follows some of the same beats as that story but ultimately it spins off into its' own version. The movie is on par with the other Batman/Justice League animated movies that have been released recently. If you enjoy those films then you will most likely enjoy this one as well. If however, you don't like the other films then there is nothing here to win you over. The movie makes some rather significant changes to the original story which will bother some folks but I still thought that it was a fun watch, despite those changes.
