Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

tamalblack Indeed, it is not good as the comic book but it still good as the other great Batman movie. some people may a concern about some detailing and some super natural facts (like the serum to make one MANBAT and another serum made by the same scientist to reverse the process instantly), but hey! this is a movie so they have a specified time. Unlike comic books they have to show all the story in a single movie. taking that into account the movie was awesome,. It's shows the personal life of batman, where he is a dad. the father son conversation are good, robin character portrait here brilliantly. As the movie is particularly focused on RObin how he adapting the way of "justice not vengeance". The small humerous parts where knightwing catches robin and tell batman. THE LAST FIGHTING BETWEEN DEATHSTROKE AND ROBIN IS THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE. I think it's a must watch batman movie.

adonis98-743-186503 Son of Batman is based on the comic where Talia leaves Damian to go to Gotham and find his father Bruce Wayne A.k.a Batman but there's one problem his son is pretty messed up and rude. The problem with Damian is always that he's a 50/50 character there are times where he actually acts as a Robin or a hero and others that he's annoying and stupid but even tho he does the same in this it was the first film where they introduced him so i was fine with that but when Justice League v.s Teen Titans came out it actually bugged me a lot. I still liked tho as a movie Damian fights Deathstroke, Ras dies, Batman goes against Man-Bat and Killer Croc and i liked that seeing good villains in an actual good film besides the 6.7 rating.

dramafreak42 I'm not going to beat around the bush: this thing is bad with a capital B. There are very few things that work, and they don't even come close to offsetting the things that don't work at all. The entire thing is a misfire almost from the very beginning.The story centers around Damian Wayne, the son of Batman and his sometimes foe, sometimes lover Talia al Ghul. When the League of Assassins is decimated by Deathstroke, Talia leaves Damian with Batman. The two almost immediately butt heads due to Damian being raised as an assassin and Batman having his "no killing rule." Despite this, Batman attempts to train and bond with Damian, even as the newest Robin seeks out revenge.Since I like to give credit where credit is due: the action scenes are fairly well staged (though much more bloody than is necessary, which is something I'll come back to.) Jason O'Mara continues to do strong work as Batman. The characterization and voice work for Nightwing and Alfred are also good, though their roles in the story are fairly minor. Really though, that's about all that I can say nice about this.The biggest problem is Damian himself: he's simply not likable. He really embodies everything that drove fans to kill off Jason Todd back in the 1980s: he's cocky without having earned the right to be, he lacks any form of charm, he's precocious, and he does nothing but argue with every single person in his life regardless of whether they are trying to help or hurt him. Having talked to some folks who read the comics, the impression I get is that there Damian was disliked at first but fans grew to like him over time. That's fine on the page, but when these films are kept to a lean 75 minutes there just isn't time for audiences to warm to this kid.Though he's the biggest problem, Damian is far from the only one. I mentioned the violence already. It's not the fact that people are killed, but rather the bloody fashion in which it happens that feels gratuitous. It might not be such a problem, except that if the film is aiming for a more "realistic" portrayal of violence then it shouldn't go from bloody to cartoonish from beat to beat. Example: faceless assassins are gunned down left and right while Ra's al Ghul deflects bullets with a sword, and later on a character has his wrist pinned to the wall by a knife, but suffers no ill effects from that wound once he's free of it. Talia is also a victim of gratuitousness, though the sexual kind in this case. She has an outfit with a neckline that plunges down to her navel. Not only does this fly in the face of combat practicality and the laws of gravity (regarding her boobs appearing so lifted,) but it's 100% unnecessary since Morena Baccarin is able to deliver an edge of sexuality with just her voice and that would have been enough.Even Batman himself is out of whack in this movie. He admonishes Damian over lethal force (which really feels like a lost cause since one of the first things we see this kid do is shoot somebody in the head,) specifically he berates the kid for the use of a sword. However it's only a matter of minutes later that Batman himself detonates explosives and collapses a ceiling onto a group of mutated henchmen. And then there's Deathstroke, and this one I'm just going to blame the actor. The character's written decently enough but Thomas Gibson didn't give a single line reading that worked. Every word he spoke was flat and disconnected and just killed a visually intimidating character.Coming on the heels of the already flawed (though not this badly) "Justice League: War," this just kills my enthusiasm for the films based off of stories taken from the New 52 line of comics.

A_Different_Drummer ... could have done.The execution, the voice acting is indeed below par in places. This is true.But I confess the story got to me. Usually any production that starts with the words "SON OF" is doomed. Literally.But the story hooked me so I tolerated the subpar production values and actually had a fairly good time.More than once I even wondered if somewhere out there was a producer who would find the cash to do this live action but given the audience expectations for a live action BATMAN, especially after Dark Knight, I guess that REALLY WOULD BE A FANTASY.
