Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good movie
I really enjoyed this origin story for Robin in the Batman Universe. at first I didn't know if it was a great idea seeing Batman with a son, but I enjoyed it. It makes sense when you watch it, so I would suggest you watch this. there are reviews out there that are not so favorable, but I chose not to let that sway my opinion, and I'm happy for that. Definitely recommend.
To start off with this is not loosely based off the comic of the same name. Which is good if you never read it, for you will not feel left in the dark. The acting is great, Jason O'Mara from Justice League: War returns. A great cast of well known DC characters appear like Ra's al-Ghul, Talia, Ubu, Deathstroke, Alfred, Nightwing, Killer Croc and Dr. Kirk Langstrom.
Animation is stellar and the action is so much fun, great fight scenes and violent. Beware parents, with regards to the violence which is mainly a burn scene and some blood loss here and there. In addition, is the language with words like "b*st*rd" and "sp*rm donor". It seems DC wants to be edgy. I don't care, but I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Yes, the character development for Damian is lacking as to why he does why he does and makes the decision he does at the end. It was suspected but why?
Special features talks about both Damian and the League of Assassins, good for comic fans, 2 episodes from Batman: TAS and Batman: Brave and the Bold are offered as well. A sneak peak at Arkham Assault. Finally, DC's technical content. Last time they showed "pencil tests" for JL: War which was an over-glorified story board. This time they offer rough sketches of the character designs with commentary. Better, but they are the designs straight from the movie, not designs that weren't used. Interesting at best, but a full length commentary on the film would have been better.
