Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
View MoreThis is not my favorite Batman animated movie but at least it has more updated animation and has good music in the movie considering it was annoying in the end credits.One thing that still remains to be answered is that did Bane survive the explosion on the fairy boat?But overall good movie.
View MoreWell it's been ten years since the release of this one, and I've only just got around to seeing it. Why? Well probably due to its reputation of not being anywhere as good as Mask of Phantasm, Subzero or Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest.However, I can't help but feel that this film is underrated, it maintains the the feel of the Animated Series very well, despite Bruce Timm not having any involvement, and while some would complain that it isn't as dark as the others, it is important to remember that TAS was intended for both children and adults, while Phantasm was certainly aimed more at the latter, Mystery was aimed more at the prior. This isn't a bad thing though, it contains a lot of the quirkyness of some of the more light-hearted episodes, a lot of which were brilliant, while still having a lot of content that adults could enjoy as well.The animation for this one is superb, it really shines through, particularly on facial expressions and even the explosions look great. The mystery had me guessing for the good first 2/3s of the movie, but in the end once it's all revealed, the motives seem a little hazy, and while I did enjoy the several love interests happening at once, it did seem a little unnecessary and the very ending seemed a tad off. The music was great, but the Quentin Tarantino-esc credit scene was a little out of place. All in all a good movie:7 out of 10
View MoreA nice little animated Batman film... with the mystery building slowly and solidly.I really felt satisfied with the mature handling of the Batwoman mystery. Nicely written script never allowed to be sure about her identity till the end. All the characters were finely written, especially the Penguin and Bruce Wayne himself. I wish there was more use of Robin but I guess that's fine. Too many key figures at the end action sequence could have ruined it.The animation should have been better although. This trademark Batman animation is now getting boring.
View More"Batman: The Mystery of the Batwoman" is about as entertaining as animated Batman movies get.While still true to the feeling of the comic books, the animation is done with a lighter spirit than in the animated series. Bruce Wayne looks much like he has before, but now he appears somewhat less imposing. The Dick Grayson Robin has been replaced by the less edgy, more youthful Tim Drake Robin.Kevin Conroy, as usual, invokes the voice of Batman better than most live action actors.Kelly Ripa did a much more decent voice-acting job than I was expecting.As in the live action Batman films, the movie lives or dies based on the quality of the villains. My all-time favorite, the Penguin, is here. His design is sleeker than it has appeared before, hearkening more to the Burgess Meredith portrayal of the '60's than the Danny DeVito portrayal of "Batman Returns." David Ogden Stiers is the perfect choice for the Penguin's voice. The Penguin is finally portrayed as a cunning sophisticate, just as he most commonly appears in the comics. Hector Elizondo's voice creates a Bane who's much more memorable than the forgettable version in "Batman & Robin." And finally, Batman has a descent mystery to solve, putting the "Detective" back in "Detective Comics" (that is what "DC" stands for, after all.) The revolution to the mystery is a delightfully sneaky twist.The score adds to the mysterious ambiance of the movie. It sounds like a mix between the score from "Poirot" and the score from "Mission: Impossible." All in all, it's more entertaining than your average cartoon.
