An interesting mix of a sequel to Morrison's run and The New 52. It's not a bad cartoon, but it's clear to me that orthodox readers won't be happy because too many changes have been made. However, for the rest of us, it's an interesting reminder of how important Talon and the Owls were. I read more Wonder Woman and Vulture stories from the comics, so I keep a closer eye on their cartoons. And if Damian is in the lead role, I would rather skip all his scenes, of course. I generally prefer more mature characters. ()
Nothing groundbreaking, just a classic in the genre. The animation is quite rough, sometimes really glaring, but on the other hand, it must be acknowledged that it's action-packed like crazy and there's always something happening. Comic book mythology tries to squeeze into a relatively short film here, which doesn't quite succeed, but it doesn't matter, as the primary focus is on the action anyway. ()
Batman vs. Robin caught my attention with its title, and I expected intense battles between Gotham's guardian and his hot-headed son. I did get some of these sequences, but the actual fight between them lasted about two minutes, which disappointed me. There’s a decent amount of action, but there could have been more. I’m glad, however, that the previous Robin was given more space here. I was expecting some twists, but they never came. It's a bit better than Son of Batman, but overall, it just doesn’t quite reach four stars. We'll see what the third installment offers and how it wraps up this trilogy. I give this one 70%. ()
