Such a frustrating disappointment

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The Batman is basically a show with all flash and not nearly enough pizazz to it; the writing's repetitive, the voice-acting's respectable at best but not entirely suiting for some of the characters and the animation doesn't even compare to Batman: The Animated Series (Batman: T.A.S.). Considering DC's great animation track-record, this is one of the few noticeable blemishes on the company's overall filmography.Sure it LOOKS nice here and there, but the animation's simplistic look basically informs you early on that the writing is also going to be similarly weak as well. It's disappointing because you'd expect so much better from the likes of Batman, especially in the world of animation. There's nothing really subversive about the show, the music's forgettable and the direction is weak. While Kevin Michael Richardson does a decent Joker, his performance is hindered by being out-of-place in the context and aesthetic the show sets for itself, which is to be a kid-friendlier yet edgy-but-not-so-much kind of superhero show.As a diehard Batman fan I don't recommend this. As a television watcher I think this show doesn't hold a candle to its CLASSIC predecessor. I'm sorry if I offended anyone who read this all the way through, but I can't really forgive the show for its inherent shortcomings that should never have been a problem in the first place.

I have to admit, I really love this series. I really love the style of the show, it's so memorable in my eyes that I can never forget it.I actually tried to watch this show with sound, but I always afraid that it will ruined my experience with the show. from the first i saw pictures from the show, it always felt different from other superheroes cartoon shows. it just felt special, it has awesome animation with awesome design, awesome action, very good stories, and many action that happened. this show has really my favourite batman. and sure like any batman incarnation he has trust issues, he always obsessive with his passion, and he cares about the people and fight crime, but he was more humane , friendly and most of all kickass(in my opinion). and I like the idea, that every season of this show adding something new, even if it's different. also, i think the joker in the series was awesome, and so all of the villains. i really love this show, i have no other words other than that it started awesome and at the same way it ended. definitely one of my favourite cartoon show.

This series is a victim of being bashed by fans and critics due to not being like the predecessor. The Batman, aired originally from 2004 to 2008, is a series with ups and downs. People did not like the redesigns for the characters or the tone, but what's the problem. Unlike the live-action Gotham, which airs on FOX, this series keeps everyone in character, rather than changing them to a state similar to Goku from Dragonball Evolution or Deadpool from X-Men Origins Wolverine. The series may be light, but it gets darker as it reaches the 4th season. The series is still watchable. Batman is perfectly portrayed. Since it is set during Bruce Wayne's earlier years as Batman, it certainly makes sense why he gets his back broken by Bane in episode 2 and why he is new in knowing those villains. Of course, the predecessor may be better, but this series contains consistent animation and character development with Batman becoming more prepared to face his enemies and Joker becoming more monstrous as seen by the episode Joker Express. The series even uses obscure villains properly, by using them alongside classic villains, not like Beware the Batman where they shoved most of the good villains and replaced them with obscure ones. Batgirl before Robin is not bad is Batgirl is legitimately Batman's sidekick, not like Katana in Beware the Batman, who replaces Robin entirely. The series even had a good direct-to- video film follow-up, The Batman vs Dracula. This movie is to The Batman what Return of the Joker was to Batman Beyond and Mask of the Phantasm was to Batman the Animated Series, having a darker tone than the series. The lack of Two-Face, Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul was mainly due to Nolan movies, not to make the series child-friendly. And Gordon does appear from the third season and is just as well depicted, despite not being there from the start. Lucius Fox is also portrayed in a way reminiscent of the Nolan films. Enjoy it if you have an open mind.

Anyone here is batman fan or just people who like cartoons? i mean 7 stars for this its a shame i give it 1 because its lowest. characters are way over line, joker looks like Blanka from street fighter and sounds like black man (i know voice is from black man but joker ain't black). freeze is common burglar instead of scientist who loves his wife, here there is no wife at all. and what it is with batman listening loud music when he is working in batcave not to mention his voice sounds like some young guy making his voice deeper, why they didn't take Kevin Conroy. thumbs down for this all the way from me. oh yes and i don't want to forget those corny jokes from Alfred. maybe if u didn't know anything about batman but just look this cartoon for fun maybe just maybe it will be OK. but most people know batman how and who it is, what makes him tick and this is all the opposite.
