Joelle Monique Black Girl Nerds It's fun, well cast, and has some of the best fight scenes in Batman's animated history. There's some great homages for old fans and tons of new character for those just entering the Batman mythos. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Andrew Pollard Starburst Manages to make you realise why you love Batman and his world so much yet without even really featuring the main course himself.

Akash A This was an absolutely amazing Batman movie - the best of the trilogy and one of the best animated & Batman animated movies I've seen. The action was wonderful, colors were great, and I loved the expansive cast. One of the common complaints was that it was a bat family movie more than a Batman movie. Two things, one is, if every movie just featured Batman, it would eventually be run down, and two, where else would they go? They are a part of Batman's world. They would go in a Batman movie - nowhere else. I really enjoyed this movie, it had a pretty solid story, with some twists, great action, and very enjoyable 'cinematography' / settings. Rare 5 stars from me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Eye C The evolution of the dark knight from a lonely vigilante to a team of family and friends, it's quite interesting, the twist in this movie is surprising, I like it. And I'm starting to understand to Damian, still is a pain in the ass, but I'm starting to get why is he like it is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Ajeet A super ultimate awesome Movie I can Learn Everything of Batman sir Movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review matthias s Batman: Bad Blood is a decent addition to the Batman animated film franchise, but it falls short of being truly great. One of the strengths of the film is its focus on the extended Bat-family, including characters like Batwoman, Nightwing, and Robin. These characters are given significant screen time and development, which is a nice change of pace from the usual Batman-centric stories. The animation is also top-notch, with slick action scenes and a dark, brooding atmosphere that is fitting for the Batman universe. However, the plot itself is somewhat convoluted and can be confusing at times. The villain's motivations are not always clear, and some plot points feel rushed or underdeveloped. Batman: Bad Blood is an enjoyable film for fans of the Batman universe, but it is not without its flaws. While the extended Bat-family is a welcome addition and the animation is impressive, the convoluted plot and inconsistent voice acting prevent it from being a truly great film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Retro C After Batman Vs. Robin, DC delivered this animated sequel continuing the story of Damian Wayne but, this time, focusing less on this Robin's conflicted nature, instead introducing some new characters and having everyone face a powerful new threat. The main addition is Batwoman (voiced by Ivonne Strahovski), a red-haired, openly gay vigilante who tries to help Batman before witnessing his death at the hands of bulky newcomer The Heretic. Nightwing is tasked with taking over the cape and cowl as Damian returns to Gotham after spending some time abroad. Batwoman soon joins them in their quest to figure out what happened to Batman and, when Lucius Fox is hurt by The Heretic, his son Luke also becomes an ally calling himself Batwing. There's a lot going on in this movie and, like Batman Vs. Robin, the writing is good enough to keep you guessing throughout. In lesser hands, having this many main characters could have sunk the story and made it much too bloated but it works here. Young Damian is not so much the main concern for once as the Bat-team has its hands full taking on this new villain. Other rogues that pop up during the course of the film include The Mad Hatter, Talia Al Ghul and Firefly. This is a somewhat more futuristic, action heavy continuation than the last movie but the fight sequences are as good as ever and the scale is ramped up quite a bit. As good as both Batwoman and Batwing are, however, they mostly just add muscle to the Bat-team and Bruce Wayne is barely in this movie so one wishes that it would have used this opportunity to tell an interesting Nightwing story for once but, like I said, this is a fun and intriguing enough movie to make it a worthy watch. It may not be quite as polished as its predecessor but Batman: Bad Blood remains a really enjoyable Batman animated film and fans of the DC hero should have a great time with it. The last shot of the film promises yet another addition to the team but one wonders if that might be overkill. Solid sequel. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Andrius y Buena adaptación de la historia en la que se basa donde batman desaparece y la batifamilia tiene que encargarse de los asuntos ,llena de buenas secuencias de acción entretenida y con una animación de buen nivel ,llegaba un punto donde las películas animadas de batman se hacían monótonas y esta cambio un poco ese ritmo entregando una buena historia sin necesidad de tener a batman en todo el filme.
