Brian Lowry CNN.com 10/13/2020
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

Rafael Motamayor Polygon 11/11/2020
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. Go to Full Review

Guy C Jul 31 Great film and finale to the Damien Wayne series See more TROYS S Jun 3 Warner's first interactive movie* is a retelling of the 2010 movie Batman: Under the Red Hood - but with the viewer making choices at key points, and deciding how the story plays out. For example, where Jason Todd dies in the explosion in the original, the viewer here gets three options; 'Robin cheats death', 'Batman saves Robin', and 'Robin dies'. If you choose 'Robin dies' you get an abbreviated version of the Under the Red Hood movie. If you choose 'Robin cheats death', he survives the explosion, and if you choose 'Batman saves Robin' Batman gets him out of the warehouse before the explosion. Those last two each lead to a completely new series of events, with the 'Batman saves Robin' option having the longest, most interesting story, with more 'branch points' as it develops (some going where you'd never expect, with real surprise twists and turns). See more TROY S Mar 6 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 See more 11/25/2024 This movie is crap. See more Noam K 10/17/2024 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. See more Rosemary W 06/11/2024 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🙃 See more Read all reviews
