Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003 Video) User Reviews

Solid Batman animated film

[Kujo1 · 7/10 · 22 November 2003]

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

Good Batman Cartoon.

[kyle-mcdonald · 7/10 · 4 January 2008]

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.

Overall score: ******* out of **********

Not the best animated Batman movie, but still a very good movie

[TheLittleSongbird · 8/10 · 10 September 2012]

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman is not as good as Return of the Joker, SubZero and especially Mask of the Phantasm. Some scenes do feel like filler and Robin for my tastes was rather bland. However, there is still much to like, first and foremost the animation, which is wonderful with everything very detailed and lavishly coloured. The music is full of haunting atmosphere too and never feels out of place, while the writing is sharp and provokes thought and the story even with the filler has great suspense, a sense of mystery and some exciting action. Batman is still the dark and brooding character we know and love, and Penguin, who's always been one of my favourite Batman villains, is a delight to see. The voice acting is terrific, Kevin Conroy can do no wrong, and Kelly Rippa is also surprisingly good. David Ogden Stiers may have inevitable comparisons to Paul Williams, but I think he does do a more than worthy job with Penguin's voice. All in all, a very good movie, while not the strongest Batman animated movie it is hardly bad either. 8/10 Bethany Cox

HEHEHE, undoubtedly still one of the best Batman Films out there.

[gohmifune · 8 November 2003]

The movie is a great movie, it uses the more recent character designs so if you are used to the original show, you'll have to adjust, but otherwise, visually it is a fantastic treat. The music is good, as always, it includes the original Batman theme in there as well as a new song by an up and comer Cherie called Betch Neva which is a great song and played a couple times throughout the film. there is also a love interest for batman as well as an antagonist. Voice acting is superb and the story keeps you entertained. If you are a fan of all the batman material that has come before, you owe it to yourself to watch, especially if you recognize the characters such as rupert thorne and bane. Take a look, it is more than worth it.

Interesting storyline...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 25 August 2020]

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.

Betha Never thought we'd get this far

[CuriosityKilledShawn · 6/10 · 7 May 2004]

Mystery of the Batwoman has made quite a bad reputation for itself since its release a decade ago. I'm not really sure why, or if it deserves the fanboy hate, but one thing is for sure - it killed the Bruce Timm/Alan Burnett Batman continuity that began with the TV series back in 1992. Kevin Conroy has returned as Batman in a few video games but there has been no proper Batman animated movie since this one (unless you count the Public Enemies, where he shares half of the screen time with Superman).

The Penguin is in the midst of setting up an arms deal with Carton Duquesne, Rupert Thorne, and Bane when the sudden appearance of a new crime-fighter in the shape of Batwoman causes them all sorts of grief. Not taking kindly to his image being tainted by an unaffiliated vigilante Batman sets out to discover who she really is.

It's a decent plot, but never feels moody or atmospheric. The Gothic pathos of the animated Batman entries that fans are familiar with is strangely absent/muted. However there are some good action scenes and a nice twist half-way through that might seem a little redundant on repeat viewings. The animosity it has gathered since 2003 is a little hard to justify, it's still better than Sub-Zero.

A darn good movie, with it's own little problems

[m-rmorgan · 7/10 · 18 April 2013]

Well it's been ten years since the release of this one, and I've only just got around to seeing it. Why? Well probably due to its reputation of not being anywhere as good as Mask of Phantasm, Subzero or Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest.

However, I can't help but feel that this film is underrated, it maintains the the feel of the Animated Series very well, despite Bruce Timm not having any involvement, and while some would complain that it isn't as dark as the others, it is important to remember that TAS was intended for both children and adults, while Phantasm was certainly aimed more at the latter, Mystery was aimed more at the prior. This isn't a bad thing though, it contains a lot of the quirkyness of some of the more light-hearted episodes, a lot of which were brilliant, while still having a lot of content that adults could enjoy as well.

The animation for this one is superb, it really shines through, particularly on facial expressions and even the explosions look great. The mystery had me guessing for the good first 2/3s of the movie, but in the end once it's all revealed, the motives seem a little hazy, and while I did enjoy the several love interests happening at once, it did seem a little unnecessary and the very ending seemed a tad off. The music was great, but the Quentin Tarantino-esc credit scene was a little out of place. All in all a good movie:

7 out of 10

The Batman and the Penguin As They Were Meant to Be Portrayed

[SylvesterFox007 · 10/10 · 13 July 2005]

"Batman: The Mystery of the Batwoman" is about as entertaining as animated Batman movies get.

While still true to the feeling of the comic books, the animation is done with a lighter spirit than in the animated series. Bruce Wayne looks much like he has before, but now he appears somewhat less imposing. The Dick Grayson Robin has been replaced by the less edgy, more youthful Tim Drake Robin.

Kevin Conroy, as usual, invokes the voice of Batman better than most live action actors.

Kelly Ripa did a much more decent voice-acting job than I was expecting.

As in the live action Batman films, the movie lives or dies based on the quality of the villains. My all-time favorite, the Penguin, is here. His design is sleeker than it has appeared before, hearkening more to the Burgess Meredith portrayal of the '60's than the Danny DeVito portrayal of "Batman Returns." David Ogden Stiers is the perfect choice for the Penguin's voice. The Penguin is finally portrayed as a cunning sophisticate, just as he most commonly appears in the comics. Hector Elizondo's voice creates a Bane who's much more memorable than the forgettable version in "Batman & Robin." And finally, Batman has a descent mystery to solve, putting the "Detective" back in "Detective Comics" (that is what "DC" stands for, after all.) The revolution to the mystery is a delightfully sneaky twist.

The score adds to the mysterious ambiance of the movie. It sounds like a mix between the score from "Poirot" and the score from "Mission: Impossible." All in all, it's more entertaining than your average cartoon.

Entertaining...

[shanfloyd · 6/10 · 8 May 2006]

A nice little animated Batman film... with the mystery building slowly and solidly.

I really felt satisfied with the mature handling of the Batwoman mystery. Nicely written script never allowed to be sure about her identity till the end. All the characters were finely written, especially the Penguin and Bruce Wayne himself. I wish there was more use of Robin but I guess that's fine. Too many key figures at the end action sequence could have ruined it.

The animation should have been better although. This trademark Batman animation is now getting boring.

Batman Mystery of the Batwoman: Double meh with a side order of fries

[Platypuschow · 4/10 · 28 December 2017]

Before the real Batwoman became part of the DC universe we had the Mystery of The Batwoman where Batman discovers a new vigilante and being the worlds greatest detective sets about trying to identify her.

The antagonist? The Penguin and a special guest appearance by Bane who is just beyond ridiculous. I can never take him seriously with a hispanic accent and that mask, yeesh! That should have pushed it up to a 15 by itself!

This is clearly aimed at fans of the original Batman television series and appears very much the same, with a less grumpy than usual Batman, a very young Robin and a non-broody family friendly vibe.

One for fans of the television series only I'd say.

The Good:

The "Mystery" pay off is quite good

The Bad:

Penguin looks weird, almost as if he's animated differently

Bane looks like he's come straight from a BDSM club

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I want one of Penguins umbrellas

Entertaining, but not as good as the rest...

[TerminalMadness · 7/10 · 1 May 2004]

I always said that the animated Batman movies were much better than the live action films.

I've seen all of the animated films, but out of the bunch, this is the poorest, and it's rather disappointing.

"Mask of the Phantasm" would rank as the best, then "World's Finest", then "Sub Zero", then "Return of the Joker", and finally this ranks last.

In this newest animated movie, there's a mysterious new batgirl in Gotham and Batman is intent on discovering whether she's friend or foe as she sets out on a quest for vengeance.

But as Bruce gets involved with three young women, he begins investigating them and discovers who is the new batgirl.

The tone in this film is unusually light considering most of the films are grim and bleak, which was rather disappointing. Bruce acts strangely out of character most of the time, the villains are re-used from the last films, and while the action scenes are exciting, they're really nothing new. It also lacks the dramatic impact the other films have, especially that of "Sub-Zero" which was heavy in drama and character development.

Everything in the film feels pretty recycled and the supporting characters are charming but no one is actually worth rooting for.

All the while, I really enjoyed this, I had a blast, and the identity of the new batgirl is surprising, but this wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped.

(**half out of ****)

Unengaging compared to other Batman animations

[Various_Things · 5/10 · 13 May 2012]

The Bruce Timm-produced "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Mask of the Phantasm" are great. This isn't.

I found it strangely unengaging, despite a decent idea at the heart of its central mystery, and despite some amusing moments from Alfred early on.

I'm only really familiar with the early "Batman: The Animated Series" programme; I haven't seen many episodes of "The New Batman Adventures". So even though I knew that the characters had been redesigned for the latter series, the Penguin's character design in this film came as quite a surprise, and not one I liked!

Also, the animation is quite variable in quality. A singer in the Penguin's nightclub appears to be smoothly animated at 24fps ("on ones" as animators say), whereas everything else in the movie is a lot jerkier.

It took me a moment to realise that the Robin in this film was Tim Drake. He doesn't get much to do, and when he does appear he's vaguely irritating.

It's no "Mask of the Phantasm"

[movieman_kev · 25 October 2003]

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 interesting mystery resides at the centre of an entertaining animation.

[Pjtaylor-96-138044 · 7/10 · 9 June 2018]

Like most of the other films set in the universe of 'Batman: The Animated Series (1992)', 'Batman: Mystery Of The Batwoman (2003)' comes across as more of an extension of the specific show on which it is based, 'The New Batman Adventures (1997)', than a stand-alone feature. As such, it doesn't spend time setting up its pre-existing characters or world, jumping straight into the action as if it is an extended episode of the series. Yet, unlike some previous animated adventures, this entry does a good job at feeling fairly cinematic, without any 'commercial breaks' or an odd 'cliff-hanger'-centric structure, and will be recognisable to anyone familiar with any incarnation of the Bat and his friends. It isn't as cinematic as 'Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm (1992)' but it's more cinematic than 'Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero (1998)'. The flick favours its eponymous mystery above almost all else, giving 'the world's greatest detective' - and the audience - some decent detective work to do instead of just resorting to full-out fisticuffs. The enigma is believable, intriguing and satisfying once it is eventually resolved. There's also a fair bit of action, though. All of it is impressively animated and sometimes pretty painful. The best thing about the piece is that the Dark Knight is constantly at the centre of a story with characters that have proper motives and arcs that pay off pretty nicely. Each player feels like they have a reason to act as they do, which is refreshing because no-one feels like a cartoon character. The piece is as engaging as it is entertaining, a fun adventure with an interesting mystery at its heart, and it serves as a nice 'farewell' to this particular 'universe', too. 7/10

An average animated adventure, but it is a fine mystery.

[tankace · 7/10 · 24 July 2016]

Batman :Mistery of the Batwoman isn't a bad film, not bad at all, but it is nowhere near the lever of Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker. Despite that as for animated films of the DCAU goes, it is decent entry but it came out in 2003, when this animation was becoming obsolete and so it didn't receive great reviews.

The story is an interesting one, in Gotham a new Heroine comes out and calls herself Batwoman and she is going after two of the most famous crime bosses in Gotham, the Penguin as well as Rupert Thorne. The issue is that, this emulator of the Dark Knihgt ,is more ruthless than Bats and it is up to the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin to find out what is her identity and why she is targeting those two gangsters.

So the story is fine, the fight scenes cool, now where is it lacking?

It lacks a bit to the emotional connection that Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker had. Also an other issue is the tone, it is too light for a Batman film. Now I know that it isn't necessary to have it all dark and depressing, but it doesn't needs to become that, the two previous animated mentions and the 1989 live action film (I won't compare with the Nolan versions, because they weren't release yet, so it better to use as measure Batman films that were made up to 2003) were darker in tone, but also had a lot of dialogues and scenes with fun, excitement and delight!

Also and this my take, the animation, though well made, it is dated by toady's standards and even for the 2003 levels. If the flick had come out before the millennium it would have been praised, but after the millennium with series like, Justice League, Teen Titans and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) ,the levels had went up. In short the market demands were a bit to high for it!

In general it is a OK Batman film and if you are a fan of the Cape Crusader, I recommended you to added in your collection of Batman films, if you haven't already! To the rest give a try and if you don't like it, it is OK.

Solid enough

[kristopherll · 7/10 · 9 February 2021]

I think this film unofficially closes the animated Batman trilogy that includes Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero, and if it does, this feature does not hold up to those two. However, if you think of it as a stand-alone film, then it really is pretty decent.

First off, nice voice acting from Kevin Conroy yet again as Batman. We also get some strong performances from the likes of Kelly Ripa and Kyra Sedgwick. The characters are also really well built, too, although they don't offer the depth of previous animated Batman flicks.

The animation quality may be a step down from other DC animated films, but it's still fun to look at and has a more cartoonish feel, despite feeling like it was made by a fan. The story lacks a bit of cohesion compared to the previous films in the trilogy, but it still has a somewhat-surprising twist and could confuse viewers a bit. Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman may act a bit brain dead, but it still manages to put its clues together to make a thrilling adventure.

"Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl; what is it with this city? The water?"

[gigan-92 · 8/10 · 12 July 2011]

I just bought the DVD and I'm very impressed by the quality of the story. It definitely keeps you guessing and the mystery itself is a reason to watch. The animation itself is that of the "The New Batman Adventures", although somewhat brighter than the actual show. Still, it is very good and there's not really much to complain about in the character designs. Some fans as I'm well aware of criticize the "The New Batman Adventures" but consider this movie for example. Bane looks great, and though the voice actor is Héctor Elizondo instead of the usual Henry Silva, the character retains the same intelligence and prideful personality as in the comics. Penguin's design changes drastically from the original "Batman: The Animated Series" design, now free of the Danny DeVito look and being pretty awesome in the movie. John Vernon reprises the role of Rupert Throne, though he does little in the movie to my distaste. Then of course there's Batwoman, and I can't reveal too much but she is a bad-ass character. There's less focus on Batman in this one you could say, but it's in order to allow the audience to explore new characters and this is done very well.

Lolita Ritmanis, a regular composer from the show, does the music for this film and while I find it okay it's a tad much of a departure from the usual darker music. Still, all in all, "Mystery of the Batwoman" has complex characters, great animation and an intriguing storyline that delivers action and mystery. I definitely recommend it.

Not a must watch, but okay.

[Animany94 · 7/10 · 9 September 2019]

This is an okay Batman movie.

The mystery is good and surprised me when it was at an end around the climax of the movie. Batwoman is cool and is not afraid to shoot the badguys and blow all their stuff to pieces. And it's funny how her suit looks like the Batman Beyond suit. Was Bruce so marked by her to design a suit after it? Haha, joking aside, the animation styles was my least favorite thing about the movie.

Why? It is too bright for my liking and it took the character designs from The New Batman Adventures and they are already a big reason why I didn't enjoy that series as much as Batman: TAS. The backgrounds also seemed rather flat at times.

So don't expect a Mask of the Phantasm quality, but a decent Batman mystery movie.

The Real Mystery Is Who Cares?

[utgard14 · 4/10 · 29 May 2014]

Remember Mask of the Phantasm? That was a good movie. Well, this is not that. The plot here is that a new costumed vigilante has shown up in Gotham. She's wearing a costume similar to Batman's and I guess we're calling her Batwoman. So Batman has to figure out who she is. Thankfully we have female suspects coming out of our ears so it shouldn't take long.

There is so much off about this I don't know where to start. First thing, I hate the "New Batman Adventures" animation style and character designs but I could overlook that if it was the only flaw. It's not. The music is terrible. There's a distinct lack of atmosphere throughout. The whole thing is weirdly upbeat, despite the subject matter of revenge against criminals. Bruce Wayne spends a lot of the movie smiling. But why shouldn't he when he's the object of desire for all the jailbait in Gotham? Which brings me to the grossest parts of this movie. First, you have barely legal Batgirl being interested in Batman which is just all kinds of wrong. Then you have another girl whose age is not stated but she is at most early '20s. She becomes the love interest for Bruce. What was the obsession with giving Bruce a hot young girlfriend in this? If they thought they were being progressive by creating these female characters and making them such a big part of the plot, here's a thought: how about romance having nothing to do with it? Was it impossible for them to do this clichéd plot without making it even more clichéd?

The story is weak. I didn't care who Batwoman was as the mystery wasn't that intriguing to begin with but I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. It's so obvious it's insulting. Penguin, quite possibly the lamest of all of Batman's classic villains, is a poor choice to use here. He's so yawnworthy they have to bring Bane into things to try and introduce some actual menace to the plot. The worst part of the movie is that it's terribly dull. If it's not the worst of the animated Batman films, it's near the bottom.

More Robin...less stale romance

[thethovermind · 7/10 · 29 July 2008]

I give this movie 7 out of 10 because the villains were interesting in their roles and the unknown batwoman creates an interesting "guess who" game. The movie, however, needs more Robin in it. He appeared in the movie in the beginning and sporadically throughout the rest. I always thought the new animated series did little justice to the neat new Robin character, let alone Knightwing. This movie just continues that bad tradition. The movie spends too much time on Bruce Wayne and his romance which wouldn't be so bad in one movie if the romance wasn't so unbelievable. It is still a good movie if you are a Batman fan and I would recommend watching it.

Not bad, but...

[ghosti · 11 November 2003]

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.

This Movie isn't that enjoyable

[batmanthedarkknight-39600 · 6/10 · 13 December 2018]

If you wanted to see Batman Bethe world's greatest detective trying to find out the identity of the Batwoman then you are not going to like this movie.

If you wanted to see a Batman movie with the quality of Mask of the Phantasm than you have ridiculously high expectations and you should let go of that thought.

What can I say about this movie,It is not fun, it is just boring but not to much that you fall asleep.It doesn't get Batman himself right, a character the have been perfecting in the animated series. For me he acts and sound to similar to Bruce Wayne. And it doesn't even feel like his trying at all. Plus Robin is here but like just to be there, so.

What about the Batwoman herself "she" is written very badly. She is forced in a relationship with Bruce Wayne just so have and emotional connection between the two. It doesn't even feel right and it's kinda unnerving at times. But the Batwoman suit design is very cool and I like how Bruce doesn't want to admit that the Batman Beyond suit design is from the concept's of "her"suit.

Watch it Don't watch it I won't stop you.It not the worst Batfilm out there it is just to mediocre for the dark knight.

Catered to the female audience

[sicilianbeauty80 · 7/10 · 25 August 2008]

I thought the film could be a bit more complex,in a psychological sense perhaps, but the action and voice acting were top notch. The animation was heavy CG in many scenes, but very good ones at that. This is one of the Batman Returns/Forever type films, which include romances and the conflicts of Wayne and motives for dating. 007 fans would love this, and so would the females, great theme song! Wayne was portrayed very well in this film, and the Penquin was back to his true form, no mutant genes in him this time! I liked the fact Robin wasn't used too much, Tim Drake was just a good computer nerd, somewhat of an Indigo child or mind of the future.

The supporting cast was made up of some soap opera stars, decent talents and the characters were drawn to look like the voice actors too. Kelly Ripa was hilarious in this film.

I rate this below Phantasm, Return of the Joker, and Batman vs. Dracula, but liked the smarter script better than I enjoyed Subzero. 7/10

Good when it could have been great!

[bigben5 · 10/10 · 2 November 2003]

For starters I have always been a fan of the Batman cartoons because the theme is so universal, 'that everyone alive has an alter-ego'. This is true in the Mystery of Batwoman. While the overall story is good I'm disappointed that they haven't really done much for the franchise with this.

Throughout the movie, you are trying to find out who the identity of Batwoman is, unfortunately you can find out by easily looking at the cast of credits posted on this website (so if you haven't seen it already don't go there). I was sort of disappointed that they didn't make the movie longer. 75 minutes is way too short for any movie. The secret identity of batwoman also comes far too early in the movie, sort of midway, and becomes anti-climatic afterward because you know the good guys will always win and that the new character known as Batwoman will disappear after the movie is over.

I'm also not too sure about the new animation style used in this movie. I love the sleek new characters but there should be some more detail where detail is called for. Some parts of the animation look so awkward and rigid that it grabs your attention right away diverting your attention away from the storyline. I also didn't really like the bright atmosphere used in most of the scenes, it sort of loses its dark and gothic feel which is Batman. Similarly we should've gotten to know more about batwoman's personality so that we can build the same deep compassionate feeling that we do with Bruce Wayne. Also I think the fight with Bane should have been done better. In typical children's fashion the bad guy meets his demise too easily either by tripping, falling, getting electricuted or doing something dumb that works against them. Come to think of it there wasn't even one drop of blood spilled in this movie either.

Bottom line, its a good entertaining flick and I recommend anyone who's a Batman fan to watch it. It has good storyline, universal appeal and even great acting to top it off. I just wish that they could have delivered more permanent change to the story by making Batwoman stay to make things more interesting. Not just introduce her and then kick her off once she's done. I'd also like to see someone else figure out the mystery for a change finally. To have some other than Batman solve the mystery and fill him in later with the details.

I hope there are more animated movies to come and look forward to the time when we will actually be able to see the breakup between Bruce Wayne and Barbra Gordan. He's been stringing her along forever and doesn't even like her and I can't believe that she was dumb enough to fall in love with someone 20 years older. I also want to see the time when Tim Drake leaves because he is getting sick of the old man. In short I want to see all of the things that led the characters to where they will be in Batman Beyond. Otherwise the same repeated formula will just end it faster than if they just decided to move on with the story.

Really bad

[educallejero · 1/10 · 2 June 2019]

The abhorrent animation. The slow paced story. The boring Batman/Bruce Wayne interpretation. The annoying and useless Robin. The way too many secondary characters. The light (too light) villains. The really bad jokes.

The only good thin is the mystery, and at the same time, it wasn't good enough for an 80 minutes movie (maybe a double episode of an animated show), and the main reason the movie was boring, because his nature required boring scenes for Batman to figure it out.
