Batman: Bad Blood
Quality animation, solid voice performances, and rousing music make this just right for ongoing fans of Batman original DVDs. As usual, the story is complex; the huge array of villains from days past is hard to keep straight. Who's working for whom? Who's using whose identity? Is Batman really Batman or is he Nightwing, or neither? Less Batman-savvy viewers may need to research the various backstories. But the action never stops in Gotham. The villains never give up, die anyway, and somehow manage to revive long enough to appear in a later tale. Parents should note that the tale is very violent but without blood, graphic injuries, or certain death.
Batman: Bad Blood
I'm incredibly tired of DC's current run of Batman animated films directed by Jay Oliva. Oliva did one of my all time favorite animated films, The Flashpoint Paradox which showed us a world where everything went wrong and the whole world is at war. It was bloody and fun and unique and adult. Bad Blood is none of those things, least of all fun. 041b061a72
