The Worst Film Ever

I wanted to but couldn't!

Fresh and Exciting

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This film follows "Son of Batman." If you haven't seen that film, you will gather the gist of it in this one. Damian, as Robin opts to venture out on his own to the dismay of Batman. Damian gets mixed up with a powerful group of vigilantes, like Batman known as Owls. The only real difference is that Owls like to kill their prey while Batman does not. Damian must choose between being the assassin he was trained to be or becoming Batman's son.The cartoon was 79 minutes long. There was a lot of fighting as expected. I still miss the "Pows" but concede its time has past. This film included a lot of Batman flashbacks and questions vigilante justice as being no better than the criminals, but not too hard.If you didn't like the first one, don't bother.

While Damian Wayne struggles to cope with Batman's no-killing rule, he soon starts to believe that his destiny lies within a secret society known as, The Court of Owls. Even tho the title Batman v.s Robin is kinda wrong since Bruce fights his son for just a while the real villain is The Court of Owls this film has a lot of action but also blood Batman gets stabbed more times than i can count he even gets inside a Batman Robotic suit and things go insane. Unlike the next sequel that came out this is actually a pretty nice sequel but also movie with a lot of action, suspense but also a very nice ending because after his father gets brutally stabbed and gets his ass whipped then Damian releases he was wrong? Seriously you think?

One thing going on for DC Universe Animated Original movies is, they're violent. But when in comes to violence, expect nothing less from Batman story lines. Afterall, Bruce Wayne's life was labored in violence.The movie is a follow-up to Son of Batman, where Damien Wayne now living with his father Bruce, tries to fit in with the code and discipline that his father live by even if it is a total turnaround from what he was raised for by Ra's Al Ghul. Damien still acts the role of Robin against his father's will.This plot of the story supplements the other plot concerning the Court of Owls. As the Owl's main assassin, Talon uses Robin's differences with his father as a perfect tool to corrupt him and join his group.Story ends of course where Batman, Robin and Nightwing and the ever reliable butler, Alfred winning against Talon and his group and Robin deciding to seek help elsewhere on what he should really be.This movie though an animation is not meant for kids. It is dark and violent. The action scenes are too physical as you can see Batman and Nightwing being stabbed several times by the Owl's assassins. The movie focuses on the relationship of Bruce and Damien. It also shows that the Dark Knight being as strong and authoritative as he is have his weakness when it comes to giving discipline to his own son. There were a couple of scenes in the movie where he suggests Damien could be helped by Monks in a monastery somewhere in the Himalayas. This shows that Batman how mighty he may be, may not be ready to be daddy after all:-)The way Damien Wayne is being projected is little bit exaggerated. Even if he was trained by Ra's, I really do not think he's capable of defeating or out thinking both Batman and Nightwing. The physical built of a 10 year old boy dismantling a similarly trained adult with heavier built is astonishing for a fact. I really think they should have toned down Robin a little bit when he faced Nightwing and Batman. Just saying.This movie is enjoyable but definitely not better than Batman: Under the Red Hood. Give it a try though.

This is a bit dark for a animated Batman movie and that is one of the reasons I like this movie. For the most part, it seemed to have the right blend of story and action. And even the action is integrated well into the story and for the most part does have a point when it comes to the plot. The relationship between Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne is well done as well. The internal aspect of it just seemed real. It has that bit of tug of war feel going for it. Where although they both respect and love each other they feel that they each need to go their own paths. Thus there is a bit of turmoil and clash between the two. Well just about every family is dysfunctional one way or another. At first I wasn't sure if this movie should have even been called "Batman vs. Robin" because there is just one fight scene between the two. However because of the other non-physical fights I think the title fits in well. Although I didn't feel that this was a super entertaining movie with that rush filled experience from beginning to end going for it. The pacing is done well and even compelling during certain scenes even if some parts doesn't make much sense and there does seem to be few plot holes. The voice acting is fine, although I thought the voice of Batman was pretty average like in the previous DC movies. The characters however just seemed believable and even relatable for a cartoon movie. Overall this is a pretty good animated DC movie that is worth a watch that has a good blend of "Batman and Son" comic book story and Snyder's Talon from the Court of Owls storyline. My main gripe is how Batman comes off pretty weak this time around, getting beaten is just about every fight. And yeah, the fight between him and his son might not really count.7.5/10
