Batman vs. Robin

Certainly an improvement over the sequel "Son of Batman" with a better story and chracter exposition this movie was worth the watch.

Solid story with some great character exposition and nice pacing. Very good visuals and music composition. Great voice acting and dialogue/writing. The antagonist was decent and had motives and a detailed background.

Overall an enjoyable movie with great character dynamics mainly between the father and son and a solid execution.

Memorable: No. Rewatchable: Yes

I must say that i was a little bit skeptical before watching this one. "Batman vs Robin" is a Sequel to the 2014 DC animated movie "Son of Batman" and while i definitely enjoyed watching that one i didn't really think it was good. The sequel is also based on parts of the comic book " Court of Owls" from the "Night of the Owls" Storyline and as someone who read the comic i must say that it combines those two stories pretty good.

The biggest difference to the source material is Damian who, once again, seems more to be the protagonist rather than his father. So the writers realized that it would be better to make him more likable than in the first movie where he was basically an almost unbearable prick. But here he's a little more like an actual child and it works for the most part especially when Bruce tries to build a relationship with him. Their scenes together are the best in the movie along with the good action which extremely profits from the great animation.

The writing, in general is pretty decent and the voice actors do a great job portraying these characters especially Jason O'Mara who is probably my second favorite Batman by now, after Kevin Conroy of course.

I won't spoil it, but i want to mention that i really like the ending of this movie. It's not written in a way that this type of story normally ends with and it's also a bit emotional showing that Bruce and Damian really care for each other. It also leaves a bit open ended to set up a sequel which i normally don't really like that much but i'm okay with it here because i'd like to see another movie from this series especially when the third one improves as much on the second one as this one did on the first. Because then we probably could talk about the best animated Batman movie up to this point.

The story is good, Damian's troubled personality is an interesting problem, the "eyes-wide-shut" Court of Owls is a great collective member for Batman's rogue gallery, and Talon's suit is nice. In my opinion, the script had some bad decisions in its final part, but the outcome was positive anyway.

Some of the best fight choreography ever put on screen animation or live action. Movie itself was also very good with but some minor gripes. I even teared up once.

8.2/10.

Yes there are some issues with power levels that others have mentioned but I don't care because the fighting was sick. Batman popping off on Robin, Batman and Nightwing fighting together, Talon beating up on Nightwing. All excellent fight scenes.
