Dreadfully Boring

A Disappointing Continuation

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Although DC has a reputation for bad live action movies, they have a great reputation for animated movies. I have seen many of them and have enjoyed most of them. This one had too many minor subplots and was weak.1) If you didn't see some of the other movies then elements of the plot line are not clear. All movies should ultimately stand on their own.2) Some DC films have been for kids but this is fortunately darker with some characters actually dying.3) Found it an overall physically dark movie. Yes it is Batman and he fights at night. I didn't realize just how dark the film felt until it was over.4) I liked the extended family storyline a little bit and the multiple villains. Not enough to overwhelm but enough for variety.5) I liked that Batwoman was a gay character. Liked her back story and the scenes with her father. However she was not an especially good fighter and that lack of experience seemed to endanger others.Worth watching and owning if you have the other DC movies. It is on Netflix so you can watch it free.

Judging by the reviews for Son of Batman, Batman vs Robin and this movie, it's like people are in the mood to hate something and just so happen to watch this with that attitude. Like they got in the 'haters mood' and then someone said wanna watch Batman? Oh something to hate! They subconsciously think...Such a great movie. Just like with ANY movie it has a few problems here and there but I didn't hardly notice unless I really looked. What a great idea to make a movie set on Nightwing and the Bat-family rather than Batman himself for the thousandth time. I loved the new perspective and the amount of characters. Can't miss this one as it introduces Batmen and Batwomen into the universe that haven't ever been given their own movie, let alone show up in the animated universe at all. Brings the first movie to a closed circle also. Pure greatness. Don't miss it.

While the style of the animation is fairly good, the script is very poor and simplistic with the little complex angles (Heretic) being few and far between. I'm not really sure to whom they are addressing this movie: as an example (and there are way too many in any of the action scenes) the way Damien takes some blows from Blockbuster and keeps fighting like he is immune to damage is just too big a leap of faith to ask anyone over 12 years old and the gritty tone of the whole movie is too dark for anyone under that age.Why some directors keep ruining something so full of potential as the Batman universe keeps baffling me...

Firstly a disclaimer. I have not read the comics this is based on. I have wanted to pick up Batwoman but I never did. I own one volume of Batwing. So I am judging this film on it own merits. Not as some comic book pulled right off the page. That being said I do feel this film stays true to what I know of what is in those comics. I mean I really enjoyed this film. Jay Olivia seems to be having his own plans for this new DC new 52 slew of films I really do like what he is trying to do here. Though I will admit it would of been better if he separated everything with a Batwing movie Batwoman movie Batman: Battle for the Cowl. It would of been great if these all were kept separate instead of merging them, but I felt the way they merged them all together was good. I didn't feel to overwhelmed by everything and overall I had fun with this film . I like how it held back too, It wasn't as needfully gory as Batman vs Robin or Justice League: War were. It used blood only when it was appropriate and I liked that a lot. I do wish there was more story over action, but the action was directed well and had weight to it. I liked all the characters here too. Damien Wayne seems to be calmer and less bratty. He seems to care about his father more and still love him. Talia even notes this. I also liked Talia in this movie. I thought she had did a really good job in this movie. Batwoman was great too. I was surprised they kept her lesbian origins in tact. Especially with the whole marriage thing in place. Dick Grayson was also handled well in this film and had a lot of nice nods to him being Batman. Actually I wished we saw more of Dick Grayson being Batman. Which is why it would of been nice if they split these stories a part more, but it is all good in the same. The worst things this film had was the 3d animation and the villains. Aside from Talia none of them were really that compelling. Which kind of sucks being that some of these villains could have been interesting if they got more time to be fleshed out. Overall Batman Bad Blood is the best of these new 52 animated films, but it isn't perfect. It does have a few issues here and there that I do wish could have been more fleshed out, but overall still really enjoyable.
