Great Film overall

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

I must say that i was a little bit skeptical before watching this one. "Batman vs Robin" is a Sequel to the 2014 DC animated movie "Son of Batman" and while i definitely enjoyed watching that one i didn't really think it was good. The sequel is also based on parts of the comic book " Court of Owls" from the "Night of the Owls" Storyline and as someone who read the comic i must say that it combines those two stories pretty good.The biggest difference to the source material is Damian who, once again, seems more to be the protagonist rather than his father. So the writers realized that it would be better to make him more likable than in the first movie where he was basically an almost unbearable prick. But here he's a little more like an actual child and it works for the most part especially when Bruce tries to build a relationship with him. Their scenes together are the best in the movie along with the good action which extremely profits from the great animation. The writing, in general is pretty decent and the voice actors do a great job portraying these characters especially Jason O'Mara who is probably my second favorite Batman by now, after Kevin Conroy of course.I won't spoil it, but i want to mention that i really like the ending of this movie. It's not written in a way that this type of story normally ends with and it's also a bit emotional showing that Bruce and Damian really care for each other. It also leaves a bit open ended to set up a sequel which i normally don't really like that much but i'm okay with it here because i'd like to see another movie from this series especially when the third one improves as much on the second one as this one did on the first. Because then we probably could talk about the best animated Batman movie up to this point.

'Batman vs. Robin' is certainly a step--if not a leap--forward from the rather pedestrian 'Son of Batman', but unfortunately the scant 80 minute runtime isn't enough to take full advantage of its intriguing story.Like the story, the animation is also much improved here, coming closer to the very high standard set by DC animated films like 'The Dark Knight Returns' and 'Assault on Arkham'. Unfortunately the voice acting remains the biggest weakness. Jason O'Mara is pretty lousy as Batman, and none of the rest of the voice cast acquit themselves much better.If they had give this story the space it needed, 'Batman vs. Robin' could've been an excellent film instead of just a pretty good one.

I've been a fan of the DC animated films since they began. I thought they were better skilled at adapting their stories than Marvel was (while Marvel was better adapting their stories to the Silver Screen than DC was) but, lately, I haven't been too impressed. The films haven't been overtly bad…just not as memorable."Batman vs. Robin" adapts the "Court of Owls" story arc well enough, I really enjoyed the development it is showing Damian Wayne, and the voice acting is, not surprisingly, absolutely fantastic—hearing Kevin Conroy return to voice big daddy Thomas Wayne and having "Weird Al" as The Dollmaker was very cool and worked extremely effectively. The only issues I had was the story feels too rushed and compact, the action is just serviceable and not very memorable, and the character design is pretty bland (but this has been an issue with DC for some time). Too often, a series of characters will all look the same (like their body build) and are only really unique in the form of hair style and eye color.However, even with these issues, "Batman vs. Robin" is a serviceable animated Direct-to-DVD feature and works pretty decently in the shared animated universe. The film is entertaining and I enjoyed it in the moment but it just wasn't as memorable as other films DC has done in the world of animation.
