Catwoman: Hunted

Listen.... I'm a huge fan of the DCAU.... And I couldn't make it last 30mins in this movie.

It's just really cringe... the dialogue, the story, the animation.... And what's up with the music??? Seriously... Why are we re getting smooth jazz for a car chase????

I have no idea who this movie is supposed to be for but it sure wasn't made for DC fans.

Catwoman is a favorite of mine when it comes to Batman villains. So, I was interested in this movie, especially with this having an anime inspired style of animation.

Catwoman: Hunted was a pretty good Catwoman animated movie with some things I noticed that was a slight issue and things I liked throughout.

I liked Catwoman/Selina Kyle and how she looked in the animation style. Batwoman/Kate Kane was good and she also looked good in the animation style.

The action scenes are cool and fast moving, but they can be too fast moving to see. Only a little bit though.

Black Mask/ Roman Sionis is in this, but he isn't in most of the movie and only in small scenes. It was a little disappointing when this happened to a cool famous Batman villain.

Some of the villains fighting Catwoman were weird but interesting. The 3rd act final fight was quick but cool, mostly because it's fun seeing Catwoman fight.

The background music is nice to listen to when the action scenes play out, and it sounded like an old anime from the 70's.

Overall, I had some fun with this animated movie and Catwoman was fun watching. I would watch it if you are interested in this kind of movie and like this DC character.

Good music, good voices, well animated. I don't usually watch things like this (animated) but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Archer which is something I did watch that was animated. I enjoyed it.

Catwoman: Hunted is the latest film starring the cat burglar from Batman's rogues gallery, and it has the character in an anime style adventure. After a heist in Spain gets Catwoman into a chase by Black Mask's gang, Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is taken into the custody by Batwoman, who is working with Interpol to bust the criminal organization, Leviathan. Now in Shanghai, Catwoman takes a deal to help Interpol in exchange for erasing the arrest warrants against her, by serving as a distraction while Batwoman takes out the villains.

For a new Catwoman movie, I find it as meh. The anime style looks good (even if it looks like something out of anime-like cartoons like Totally Spies), and is done by Japanese animators. The story is written by Greg Weisman, who is best known for writing legendary cartoons such as the first two seasons of Gargoyles. It's okay, but not on par with his past works, as the story has Catwoman flirting with Batwoman in certain scenes, and you can tell he injected some Gargoyles designs in one of the villains, Nosferata (who looks like Demona if she was injected with the serum that turns Kirk Langstrom into Man-Bat, and Tobias Whale is voiced by Keith David, whom 90's kids will remember as the voice of Goliath, one of Gargoyle's primary protagonists). Also, it's a little on the short side, being only 79 minutes long. It's a meh movie, but I will gladly take this over the 2004 Catwoman movie.

An enjoyable self contained story that still hints at a wider world. Mostly down to earth action oriented cohesive plot with believable motivation. I know it does not sound like much but its more than most movies have delivered in recent history.

The voice Elizabeth Gillies used was like honey.

Catwoman was balanced and playful. Batwoman was softer than in her previous screen appearances. Both were a delight.

It has been a long while since I so fully enjoyed a DC movie. I defiantly enjoyed it a lot more than Justice Society: World War II or their attempts at adapting big name stories like injustice or superman red son,etc.

The only minor thing I would say slightly detracted from the movie is the number of villains, particularly the presence of one near the final fight felt unnecessary. While I greatly enjoyed the fight sequence itself, I felt the same could have been accomplished by simply having the final antagonist do those actions.
