Redundant and unnecessary.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This six minute short is mostly animated in the style of the popular long running Batman television series and it certainly benefits from that.The one major difference is the lack of dialogue and sound effects, the soundtrack is entirely musical which makes quite memorable.It tells the brief story of Batman chasing Catwoman across Gotham after he catches her rifling through a safe. That's basically it, but what more could they do with such limited time?Well animated this is quite a neat little short, really not sure about the choice of music but I guess it fits well with the Batman setting.Fun harmless little short, just be aware of the lack of substance.The Good:Animation styleFinale is quite interestingThe Bad:Music grinded a little bitThings I Learnt From This Short:Selina needs a tan

This animated short was included on the Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman DVD. It's actually better than that movie, although that's not saying a lot. The "plot" here is basically that Bruce Wayne, bored at some swanky party, happens upon Catwoman robbing a safe. He quickly changes into Batman and gives chase. He pursues her across Gotham on rooftops and on vehicles before ending up at the zoo. It's not a bad idea for an artistic little short but the execution is lacking. This is done in the style of the later Batman cartoons, not the classic Batman: The Animated Series. So Catwoman weirdly has blue skin. Never figured out why they did that. The whole thing is without dialogue and has a jazz soundtrack throughout. It isn't my favorite genre but I've heard some jazz tunes that would have been better suited for this. The music here does not feel like it was done originally for the short, nor does it fit well. It doesn't match the images on screen which kind of undermines the concept. Oh well, at least they tried.

'Chase Me' is absolute proof that a decent soundtrack can make a film. Unfortunately this is not a positive comment in regards to this Batman short, where the laid back jazz track does its utmost to derail a silent tale that has the potential to be brilliant. Credit to the production team for attempting a new approach to the scoring of a Batman film and taking a step away from the orchestral Gothic that has become a staple of all recent efforts, but this misses the mark by a long way.The story itself is quite brilliantly told, remaining not only coherent but very watchable despite the score's attempt to wring it of all tension. The superb imagery that we have come to expect from the Batman cartoons is the reason I give this 4 stars rather than 1. Never has a cartoon series used shadow, blacks and reds as well as this. Here is a short that could have had real gravitas and could have been a memorable entry into the Batman cannon, if only for a decent tune!

A great musical short, bonus feature on "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" DVD.The animation is in the style of the classic Batman animated series from the 90s. I watched this show more than a decade ago when I was in primary school and it still remains unsurpassed!The atmosphere of "Chase Me" is exquisite and stylish, and reminds me of a James Bond movie. The colors are bright and eye-pleasing.The music combines some classic soundtrack motifs with jazzy saxophones and creates a theme that fits perfectly to the concept of the film.This is definitely one of my favorite music videos! Pure delight, not only for Batman fans. Strongly recommended :)
