Absolutely amazing

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Whoever was in charge of the audio is an a hole for bouncing the audio and making it unnecessarily high at times.

ARKHAM.After watching the abomination which was the live action Suicide Squad, I had to go back and watch this just to get the bad taste out of my mouth. The DCU is dead to me. Until they totally reboot it, I am not going to spend a dime on anything DC or Warner Bros releases. They want to continue giving us garbage when it comes to DC films? Then they'll lose money on all fronts. And I highly encourage any and all true fans of DC to do the same. Stop spending money on anything DC or WARNER Bros related until they give us a reboot. That being said, this is an overall good anime. Considering most new 52 films, comics or whatever have been awful. What the heck happened to DC? Seriously.

Assault on Arkham is meant as a prequel to the events that occurred during the Arkham video game trilogy. Waller has collected some villains to help her take back top secret information from the Riddler. The Squad most infiltrate Arkham Asylum, find the Riddler and get the device before reveals the secrets to even worse villains.This film really does a good job at capturing how expendable each character is to the mission. At any moment someone could die and the team just has to move to the next objective. This is even tougher because the writers of the movie actually created relationships between characters so the loss hits them and the audience more. Even with all the serious moments there is also funny dialogue exchanged, mainly from Captain Boomerang and King Shark. There are no characters that are left in the background either. Mostly everyone gets a fair amount of screen time in order to fully bring their personality to the audience. I thought this would be heavy movie on Deadshot and Harley, but that was not the case. The biggest enjoyment I got was Harley as that was probably my favorite depiction of her that I have seen. She had the right amount of sweet with a side of insane.Action scenes were fun for the most part, as there was a scene or two where they maybe went a little to over the top even for an animation movie.This was a fun watch and if you are a fan of the Suicide Squad, you most definitely have to see this.

The Riddler is sent to Arkham Asylum, but he has secrets with him, and Amanda Waller sets up the Suicide Squad, made up of villains, and coerced into doing Waller's bidding as a covert government agency on pain of death.This animated Batman film is actually an animated Suicide Squad movie, hitting the public a couple of years ahead of this year's live action iteration. And it's good - the story is strong, there are multiple threads (the ongoing love/hate relationship between Harley Quinn and the Joker, is always fun), the voice talent is good (thankfully Kevin Conroy services Batman's brief appearances)and the animation is satisfactory (though no better than that).But I've caught up on a number of DC's animated features recently, and in the light of the New 52, and screen versions of DC's characters from Batman Begins onwards, it's quite clear that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are no longer characters who are appropriate for all ages. Adults (by which I mean adolescents who regard themselves as adult, and ages upwards from that) seem to have appropriated the DC Universe and adapted it to their tastes, making it unsuitable for youngsters in the process. And this film is a case in point - there is explicit violence in it, some bad language, and even (non-explicit) sexual nudity. I'm perfectly OK with films with all these elements in them, but I'm not sure they should have a place in a movie where the main character is a costume worn by 6-year olds to birthday parties.
