I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This animated Batman movie is supposed to be linked with the events of Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). In this 6-story anthology collection, Batman faces new villains and old ones in a time-line after Batman Begins. In "Have I Got A Story For You", 3 kids tell wildly different stories about Batman during a fight through Gotham. "Crossfire" focuses on two policemen who end up getting in the middle of a crime battle. "Field Test" has Lucius Fox creating a new technology for Batman, but is it too powerful? "In Darkness Dwells" features Killer Croc and Scarecrow, who have kidnapped a priest. "Working Through Pain" goes through flashbacks of Bruce Wayne's training while Batman finds his way through the sewers. Finally, "Deadshot" focuses on the titular sniper, who has a new target in Gotham. I liked all the stories but i think the most weird one was the first one with the kid cause it looked weird Batman looked weird but the final one with Deadshot having their big fight on the train that was amazing especially the stop motion and the fight scenes that look from something that would work for something else more darker but it works here pretty nice

This collection of short films is fascinating to watch for any batman fan, but I feel as a collection it is a little too different and there does not really seem to be any logical link between the story lines, which was irritating. The stories were also underdeveloped and I just wished we could have seen more of these stories and they could have had that room for development.What I did like is that none of the real generic batman villains were used instead the villains were more non common ones and it really helped to make each story unique so that it wasn't just the same kind of stories being generated over and over again. The stories were fairly unique as well although underdeveloped they did each have their own unique style.All in all I enjoyed the stories but they were too fragmented and I just wish they had more of a central them or something that made them fit together better or something, just to make them fit, which was the main problem with this film.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little collection. Usually these kinds of films feel like their sole reason for existence is to earn the studio some money. Usually there's about one good short film in the bunch while the rest are thoughtless and not worth your time. Not so much in this case. This film has six short stories, all loosely tied together by the overall plot and the passage of time between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. None of these stories feel alike, though of course they vary in quality, both in terms of how they're put together and their story-telling merits. Thing is, none of them are bad. Sure some of them, like the first one, Have I Got a Story for You, are only average, but all of them are at least visually pleasing to look at and give their own takes on the character of Batman.And while some the stories are only average, a few of them are actually really good. Some for reasons of visual eye candy, like Crossfire and Deadshot, and some for reasons of good story, like Working Through Pain. Of course all of them are relatively short, so the stories are all pretty simple, which is why the visually great stories ended up being my favourites. Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and watch excellent action scenes take place. Deadshot especially excelled in this regard.And that's pretty much this movie. A certain fondness for Batman is absolutely required because, as I stated, plot-wise this movie doesn't really stand up to the likes of Nolan's Batman films. But if you're a fan of the character this movie is a fun hour and fifteen minutes to be had. It's creative, loves what it's doing and delivers you exactly what it promised.

This is a collection of stories solely for the hardcore Batman fans, who are witness to different interpretations of the 'Bat-Man', the thing that hides in Gotham's shadows, hunts the criminals that plague the streets.I found the different art-works quite fascinating, from abstract to anime, from child-friendly to brutal. It's a brilliant take on the character with a bridge between Batman Begins and Dark Knight, there is also an appearance from 'Deadshot' and 'Scarecrow', who make it all worth while.I loved the build up to 'Arkham Asylum' as well as Batman's entrance as he sweeps down to save a victim with the words 'I WILL!'
