Although the trailer had me expecting a certain new style of film, I can't say I was disappointed when the film definitely felt like a new BTAS (Batman; The Animated Series) feature (as it was produced by some alumni). It's an early coming of Batman story that explores some of his training and existence in the world of the martial arts and we meet some characters who were a part of it. If there's anything At&T WB DC don't do wrong (in most cases) is their animated features: standalone, else-world films you can enjoy with feeling the need to connect them to each other (in most cases) Definitely worth your time and bits!

Awesome animation , I like how it have an 80’s vibe to it . Story was pretty decent a little back ground on Bruce is always welcomed, The 4K looks nice and sounds great , I would recommend this for your collection.

This is the best version of this film u can buy, The inclusion of the figure is also neat. 4K and Blu-ray Disc are also a plus so if your into dc animated films this is a must.

This is probably the first dc animated film where I just walk away part way though everytime. IDK why but every time I have tried to watch this i get bored and put somthing else on. I think some of it is the animation style.

Always enjoy the animated DC Movies. I especially like collecting the exclusive 3.5 inch figurines that come with the Best Buy exclusive.

Beautiful product nicely made. Great, unique Bruce Timm production to add to the Fantastic DC animated catalogue. FYI, this film is a team up movie, not a solo Batman film.

Awesome movie and great bonus features plus a shout out to Elviss kenpo karate style!!

If you're a fan of 70's movie genres, animation, martial arts and Batman, this is for you!

If u like animation u will like this batman movie good action and martial arts

amazing collectible, a good price and amazing condition.

This movie seems an aweful lot like Batman meets Bruce Lee.

Sam Liu’s 2021 animated film “Batman: Soul of the Dragon” is the 40th film in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series and the 16th directed by Liu. The standalone film does not take place in the shared continuity of the other films, instead taking place in the 1970s. It stars David Giuntoli as Batman, Mark Dacascos as Richard Dragon, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, Michael Jai White as Bronze Tiger (White portrayed this character on “Arrow”), James Hong as O-Sensei, Jamie Ching as Jade Nguyen, Josh Keaton as Jeffrey Burr, Chris Cox as Rip Jagger, Grey Griffin as Lady Eve, Patrick Seitz as King Snake, and Erica Luttrell as Silver St. Cloud. The story shows Bruce Wayne’s time training to become the Batman in Nanda Parbat. There, Wayne meets O-Sensei’s other students: Shiva, Rip Jaggar, Richard Dragon, Jade, and Ben Turner. The story blends elements of 1970s Kung-Fu films, James Bond films, and the tone of Dennis O’Neil & Neal Adams’s revitalized Batman of the 1970s. Liu uses the R-rating to great effect, allowing characters to speak in a realistic fashion while depicting martial arts violence realistically without worry for censors. The film also shows the possibilities inherent in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies as it does not adapt any prior comic, but rather tells an original story set in its own universe. From the opening titles through the conclusion, the music, lighting, and more recreate the feel of a 1970s action film.

Decent animated movie. I like the 70s throwback feel with the look and music. Not up to par with some past animated batman titles but overall a good watch

Storyline is okay. Bruce Wayne appears more than Batman on the movie. I don't really care, it fit the story. I would've liked a different ending, so 4 stars. Anyway, i did enjoy it. WB animations have better stories than their live action movies. This bluray disc is the type that looks almost clear which I'm not a fan of. I had bought a different movie before and it didn't want to play on my bluray player. But now i have a 4k player and this movie played fine. I haven't tested the other movie though. I think these discs are manufactured differently than the main ones and maybe the bluray players might need to have the firmware updated. But whatever, movie was enjoyable.

I enjoyed this animated film .Because I enjoy comics I appreciate the DC animated world .Animation takes the fan to a much closer engagement with the subject matter ,namely superheroes .This story sheds more light on Batman and his path to becoming the "Dark Knight"We are shown that the Batman journey to who he has become was no cake walk ,his history is colorful and complex .The voice actors are good more dept is revealed regarding the supporting characters ,Richard Dragon in the comics was white but in the film he is clearly presented as tribute to Bruce Lee as well as the African -American characters homage to Jim Kelly .Animation is limitless ,the story was good ,it added to the Batmans Mythos I'd recommend it.

Great introduction of Lady Shiva who later becomes DC Comics greatest martial artist and deadliest. This movie has some of the same feel that the Enter the Dragon did with Bruce Lee. I like seeing the team up of Batman (Bruce), Richard Dragon, Lady Shiva, Ben Turner, and some of the Batman comic characters like Jade, Silver St. Cloud, and King Snake. It is set in the 70's in the way they dress, talk, and the music. It's a nice movie by itself and to see how Bruce learned his fighting technique as well. I love that Kelly Hu played Lady Shiva in this!!

70s eras Kung Fu themes with a Bronze Tiger limited edition figurine are all the reasons to purchase this product. Being a Batman fan alone was the primary reason I was looking forward to this movie. But also being a huge Michael Jai White fan I had to have the Bronze Tiger figurine to commemorate the brother and his second rendition of the character aside from the live action version he did on the Arrow TV show. Shiva is bad B as always. Happy to see Richard Dragon playing an Asian role for once. Totally geeking out over this one. And I Iove the fact that Bruce got his behind handed to him by Ben Turner lol.

A truly different take on the Dark Knight. Imagine Batman in the 1970s with a little bit of Bruce Lee and Roger Moore-era James Bond thrown in and this is what you get. In this latest DC Universe Movie release, Batman joins up with fellow martial artists Lady Shiva, Richard Dragon and Bronze Tiger to stop the evil cult, Kobra, from unleashing an ancient evil upon the world. Any fans of DC Comics, martial arts movies, secret agent movies and anything 70s cinema will get a kick out of this. Definite recommendation.

So a mysterious group of snake themed bad guys has a plan that only the greatest martial artists in the DC universe can stop. The art style is slightly different from some of the other DC animated films that I've seen, but it still looks good. The voice acting was well done and the music was fitting to the show. Lately, I've been seeing Batman related video games and movies (this 1 as well) and such where everyone knows Batman is Bruce Wayne and it's kind of annoying. The point of secret identities is to keep both sides of life apart. It kind of removes something in the narrative for me watching this when all the other characters know his secret identity. Richard Dragon is DC's answer to Iron Fist, so in this show having him look so different than in the comic books, kind of removes the authenticity in the character in this show for me. I also don't like that there is not a solid ending, but more of an implied 1. It would have been better to have a longer film to show everything. What's the point if you are going to show me all? While it's not bad, nor a total loss, I think there are other DC animated films that are much better.

I was surprisingly impressed by this. I have been watching Batman since the Adam West days, especially the Animated Series. This was a nice take of seeing Batman with personalities such as Bruce Lee(not really him), Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva. It was interesting that this animated film showed that Batman had the least skill in his team, but had a lot of heart. I was happy with the animated fighting and will watch again.
