A more natural fit than most recent forays into interactivity. That's not to say Batman: Death in the Family isn't a gimmick too, but at least it's a fun, inventive one -- and a pretty clever way to kill time on a long, dark night.

Allowing new fans to experience, in some way, the same decision [comic] fans in the 80s had about whether Jason lives or dies through this popular film was, I think, a genius move and a great, creative way to take advantage of current technology.

It does a great job of dragging you into the story, making you feel culpable for certain outcomes and experiencing "monkey's paw" regret.

There are some visually stunning action scenes in the alternate scenes... The problem is the half-baked execution, where an interactive story amounts to little more than a half-hour short film comprised of mostly recycled footage.

Reach out for the physical Blu-ray copy if you must, but avoid the digital format at all costs.

Batman Death in the family was a very short film if you could even call this thing a film,and because of that i wasnt able to fully comprehand our characters in a better way and i found it to be rather to fast,how staff was happening on screen and it felt rushed since a very beginning till a very end.Story was solid and entereteining in a sort of way,animation was also cool and voice acting impressive .But like i said short runtime and rushed moments were little to much to me and some scenes were even hard to see how fast they were changing between from scene to scene,in end this was unfortunetly animated short film but it had solid staff in it

Hmmm.... This is 99% recycling of scenes from 2010 "Under the red Hood" with boring exposition by Batman and Superman discussing the events of "Under the red hood", exposition mind you, that was not needed, because "Under the red Hood" was great and coherent. This is less than a rip off as there are no new scenes, other than Batman and Superman sitting at a cafe. Very weird and pointless movie.

You have to be a true Batman fan to really enjoy this movie, which I am! Loved the story the voice acting and the artwork. I've seen it more than 10 times and like it more each time. Now if you enjoy reading comics than your on a higher level so whatever you think of this movie is accurate🙃
