Reviewer notes
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersThis animation is very much in the vein of the comics I remember having as a kid. The angular faces with big eyes and broad shoulders atop entirely disproportionately small bodies.

It seems he's been out in "Gotham" terrorising and terminating senior figures from the mob.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersReally good and well-made animation movie and one of the best Batman feature films.
