Batman: La Mystérieuse Batwoman

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman isn't bad. But it isn't good either. It feels like an episode that goes on for far too long, and while the mystery is pretty clever, there's something missing from it.

The biggest problem is the characterization of Batman. Far too much time is spent on Bruce Wayne, and even Batman has a habit of acting more like "Bruce" when he has the mask on. In the regular series, it's always pretty clear that the real mask is the Bruce Wayne persona. Robin is included in the movie, but stands around, makes a few snide comments, and fails to really further anything, making one wonder why he was included.

The movie is a little too light, and feels too much like filler. The verdict: It's a good rental, but not a keeper. This is one that just doesn't live up to its predecessors.

I sat down in 2020 to watch the 2003 DC animated movie "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman". Now, I wasn't really expecting much, since I am not particularly fond of superhero movies or animated movies, but still, if I haven't seen something, I will if given the chance.

And now that I have seen this 2003 animated movie, I must say that the storyline was actually good and entertaining. There was a good amount of plot, action and character interaction in it. And it also definitely helped that the story had some interesting characters in it as well.

As for the drawing style, then I am not really a fan of the particular style of art and drawing that they used for this era of "Batman". The very art itself is just too edged and cartoonish.

They had a good ensemble of voice actors and actresses to perform the various voices for the characters in this movie, with the likes of Kevin Conroy, Kelly Ripa, David Ogden Stiers and Hector Elizondo to name the most noticable.

I will say that "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" is definitely not aimed at the youngest of audiences, given the violence throughout the story.

My rating of the 2003 DC animated movie "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" is a six out of ten stars. It was enjoyable and good, but it wasn't the best of animated "Batman" movies available.

A mysterious Batwoman has entered the scene & it's up to Bruce to deduce who it is.If one wants to see this expecting another "Mask of the Phantasm", you'll be dissapointed. But it's still good on it's own and if you're a batman fan, it's worth seeing. Bane, the Penquin, & Batgirl are voices by different actors, but i didn't mind that much. I didn't really care for Kelly Rippa's voice acting, but that's more of a personal taste thing.

My Grade: B

DVD Extras: "Chase Me" Mini-cartoon; the making of a mystery; Batman: P.O.V; making of a scene; Batcave profiles; bat gadgets; trailers for various other superhero titles; and a dvd-rom trivia game

An enjoyable Batman animated film. Not on par with "Return of the Joker" or "Mask of the Phantasm", but solid nonetheless. I liked how the movie kept you guessing as to who Batwoman was. There was nice twist. Nice action sequences. I've always been of the opinion that the Batman cartoons are better then any of the pitiful Batman live action film sequels. The trend continues here.

7.5 out of 10

This Batman movie isn't quite as good as Batman mask of The Phantasm and Batman and Mr. Freeze subzero But it is still a good installment to the Batman cartoons I say it is equally good as Batman Beyond The Movie. This movie is good for all the same reasons The storyline is good not quite as good as the other one's but still pretty good it has lots of action in it The Cartoon effects are good The voice of actors are really good such as Kevin Conroy as Batman/ Bruce Wayne, Tara Strong as Barbra Gordon, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Eli Marienthal as Robin. The villains are good such as Kyra Sedgwick as Batwoman, David Ogden Stiers as The Pequin, Hector Elizondo as Bane. So I am sure you will not be disappointed with batman Mystery of The Batwomen. So make sure that you rent or buy batman Mystery of The Batwoman the movie because it is really good.
