As adept as the animation unit usually is at bringing the tone of the comics to the screen, at times this feels like a sitcom premise.

Ends up feeling like a massive case of style over substance, a movie mishandled in so many ways.

Rated: 5/10

Batman becomes not just a father figure to a young sidekick but in fact a father, trying to teach his arrogant and highly talented ninja assassin of a son a less fatal approach to combat and crimefighting.

Violent and noirish Batman is engaging but cynical.

We Got This Covered

Neither terrific nor terrible, Son of Batman bears some similarities to a Saturday morning Batman cartoon; it's fast-paced, action-packed, entirely disposable and extremely fun at times.

Rated: 7/10

It's a 7/10 movie to watch as a Batman fan. Nice movie on Robin's character and also his relationship with Talia and Batman/Bruce. Though not a great way to introduce Batman in DCAMU they showed instead Robin. Deathstroke as villain was worth and the fighting scenes were lit 🔥🔥. The pacing was slow but overall the opening scene and ending was good. Screenplay was 7.5/10 and characters were 8/10. Plot was 7.5/10.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

"Son of Batman" is a thrilling animated movie that will keep you engaged from start to finish. Here's my three-star review: First, the animation is top-notch. The colors are vibrant, the action is fluid, and the characters are well-designed. The visuals truly bring the DC Comics universe to life, making it a treat for fans of the genre. Second, the voice acting is commendable. Jason O'Mara is perfect as the voice of Batman, providing just the right amount of grit and intensity to the character. Stuart Allan also does a great job voicing Damian Wayne, the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. However, the plot of "Son of Batman" is a bit formulaic and predictable. "Son of Batman" is an enjoyable movie for fans of the DC Comics universe. While it may not break new ground in terms of storytelling, the animation and voice acting make it a fun ride.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

While the overall quality of the film's animation and characters cannot be understated, the slow plot and predictable character beats bring this film down from the heights the DC Animated Movie Universe's previous film managed to achieve.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
