Bought at sale spring 2020 in a stylish steel case at BD. The film was nothing special, had hoped for a bit more. This is the first feature animated film on Batman I see. 3 years 12 months ago -

It was alright... not great, but not terrible either. I think what throws people off is the humor, and I think some Batman fans get annoyed seeing their favorite crime-fighter do anything that isn't 100% dead-serious. (That being said, I grew up with the Adam West version of Batman, and often pine for the days when we could take our cape-wearing protagonists a little less seriously.)
Perhaps if this were animated in a style that was distinct enough from the old '90s Batman: the Animated Series style (which was a more serious take on the character than previous animated shows had been, coming off the popularity of the Tim Burton films), it might not have rubbed so many people the wrong way.
My favorite part was the brief cameo by Swamp Thing at the end, though the entire sequence in the costumed-henchmen bar was pretty fun as well, as it reminded me of something you'd see in an episode of The Venture Bros. (which is itself a satire of super-hero cartoons). 6 years 7 months ago -

Obvious way to cash-in on the recent popularity of the Harley Quinn character, but offering the audience little more than fart jokes and Batman '66 parodies. As for Harley herself, she's never been less interesting and isn't helped by a screechy and mis-cast Melissa Rauch. 6 years 6 months ago
