I don't know what other people's expectations were for the current rating to be so low, but mine were met and exceeded, hence I have no remorse giving 10/10. When do I give 10/10? Is this an Oscar worthy artistic masterpiece? No, but that is not my own metric. I was thoroughly entertained and I can't think of anything that I'd change to make the movie better, neither did anything bug or annoy me.
The movie is fun, colorful good time for the Batman Fans, because there are a lot of easter eggs and references that non-fans would probably miss. An example is when Damian mentions Bat-Skates and Bruce calls the idea stupid, which ich a clear reference to Batman and Robin, where they do have Bat-Skates. The plot revolves about Damian, who tries to get his Bat-Belt back whilst the bad guys try to steal Christmas (much like the grinch). The movie is non-offensive aimed at the Dads, who grew up watching Batman in the 90s ...and their Kids. It so happens that I am exactly such Dad with small kids. I feel like this movie was tailored for me, and I very much appreciated it. For your casual viewer, I guess it is just a stupid animated batman movie, but to me it is exactly the right kind of stupid and I feel like this is a future cult favorite.
If you are like me, in your 30s, still wearing batman shirts and still feeling like a little kid if anyone gets you any batman merchandise or a stupid Bat-shampoo, then you'll love this movie. With all the stress and worries from my daily lives, this was an hour and half of escapism, that really helped clean the palate.
