I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

DC animated, when it comes to superhero toons, rules. This isn't a great entry, but it is a fun one. Based on the New 52, where Bruce Wayne has a son raised by Talia, the Daughter of Ras Al Ghul (his greatest villain in my opinion) who has shall we say, a difference of opinion in how to battle bad guys.

Batman vs Robin is a really good film and it more than overshadows its previous installment with great action, one of the best modern story- lines of Batman and the voice casting of the Son of Batman. OK it may bothers me that they try to put in Damian Wayne in the story but whatever is well done and I am glad that it wasn't like Batgirl in the Killing Joke and be thankful for that because it would weird and creepy.As for the villains, the Court of Owls, are excellently ingrained to the mythology of Gotham and compare to them the Illuminati look ridiculous and childish.Yea what you are in war with the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages ? Are a threat for the greatest detective in the history of comics ? No, I didn't think so. As for secret societies go this has already become one of my favorites.As for the title Bruce and Damian animosity is build up and when it burst is really nice. Though it took long enough. What I do like to Damian is that he has already the skills to become Batman but he lacks the experience and control of his father. As for Nightwing ,despite his secondary role, he makes a great contrast with the new Robin for he like an older brother in the family. Any way this by far the best Batman films of the New 52 and I recommended to every Bat-fan out there. As for the final movie in the series I will write about it soon enough.

Batman is having problems with Robin - the current Robin is Bruce Wayne's son, Damien, raised as an assassin by his maternal grandfather, and keen to apply lessons learned in the course of Gotham night patrols. He therefore finds the approach of the Court Of Owls tempting: their main operative, Talon, doesn't hesitate to kill villains. Damien's morality, and future as Robin, hangs in the balance.This animated feature picks up assorted plot elements from recent Batman comics, and turns out quite a good feature as a result. But wait a minute - is it that good? Technically, it's fine - reasonable voice work, production design, and animation. But if you're not familiar with the comics from which it is adapted, you're going to have some problems. Why is Damien so murderous? Who is his mother? His grandfather? Who is the bloke in the blue costume (Nightwing)? What is his significance? You will have difficulty picking up these points if you come in cold. Accordingly this is a very bad film to encounter as your first exposure to the world of Batman in animated form: this film is for those who are already keen enough to be comics readers.

Note, I did not read comics, so I will be judging this movie solely on its own merits, even though Grant Morrison is easily the best comic writer currently working in the industry.Anyway, the movie. I really liked it. The title can be a tad misleading, as Batman and Robin (Damian Wayne) only come to blows once during the film. Really, the conflict between the two is a psychological one. Damian is a young, jumped-up kid with a major thirst for justice and not a little blood, which puts him at odds with Batman. Batman, meanwhile, is the stern, unyielding figure that he almost always is, never letting Damian out of his sight and keeping him close, more than a little paranoid about Damian's upbringing within the League of Shadows.Their conflict is brought to a boiling point when a Talon from The Court of Owls approaches Damian about joining, encouraging his latent bloodlust and pushing him ever further past Batman's point of no return. Things only get worse when the Court tries to recruit Bruce Wayne into their ranks, unaware of his dual-life. Will Damian remain true to his father's hardline sense of ethics, or with this hardline stance only serve to push him away and into the talons of the Court?I'll go ahead and say that out of all the things the movie does right, the main reason I love it so much is because it gives both of its main characters story arcs. Both Batman and Damian come out of this movie noticeably changed but also in a way that's not shoved in your face like it was with Nolan's Dark Knight movies. Most other Batman media, be it Batman Returns, the Schumacher movies, the Justice League TV show and films, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold either reaffirm Batman's character or just cut out a story arc all together. This is one of those rare exceptions that actually develops Batman beyond the persona of the brooding jerk that he's acquired in recent years.Damian, too, gets a story arc, but not one that's as subtle. It's pretty easy to see how he develops as a character; after all, the entire conflict of the film hinges on his anxieties about his identity and his parents, a struggle that all young kids go through in their lives.I only have two complaints about this movie. The first is that the Court of Owls' true motivation for recruiting Damian is rather anticlimactic, and it brings the tug-of-war going on between them and Batman for Damian's trust to an abrupt and disappointing end. The second reason is that early on, Batman thinks Damian killed someone, even though any fool would be able to look the situation over and easily be able to tell that Damian was guiltless. It feels really contrived and really forced. Then again, that could just be Batman seeking to reaffirm his own paranoid suspicions about Damian's nature. Either way, I didn't like it.Aside from those complaints, I'd call this a solid film, definitely better than the last two Batman titles that DC Animated released. It's dark, it's suspenseful, and it shows a side of Batman that many people have forgotten about.
