DC Universe - Batman: Bad Blood

[Boy Scout]

Did they...spoil the end of the movie at the end of the trailer?

^Did you really think Batman was dead?

 

[Drz]

They also show Talia al Ghul in the trailer.

^Did you really think Batman was dead?

No, but that doesn't mean ruining the suspense was a good idea (if that is what happened).

Another Batman movie. Ok I'm sold.

I'm getting so bored of Batman movies. I swear people are gonna start turning off from Batman soon if they keep ramming him down people's throats so much. Please DC give us something else, even if it's just more JL movies with other heroes taking the starring roles or even have team up with Batman films but don't have him be the main character.

Turning off from Batman? I think that's impossible

I have liked all the DC Animated titles since Batman Gotham knight. This includes the Green Lantern ones, the Justice League ones, the superman ones, the Superman/Batman ones, and the Superman/Shazam one. Personally I think they have gotten better as they have gone along. I look forward to it every time I hear one is coming out. I own all of them so far on Blu-ray and don't see not getting the new ones as they come out.

I thought the movie was good. However, I'm getting really burnt out on this same universe. I don't want batman movies to stop, but I do want this universe to stop, and have the studio make batman movies or other superhero movies from a different world.

Haven't seen it yet, but according to another Hypester I know, this s*** was s***.

It was awesome and easily the best movie to come out of this universe. I enjoyed it as much as the pre-Flashpoint flicks. It's not UTRH level but I found it almost on par with TKDR movies if we're specifically just comparing DCU Batman flicks. Hating it because of the universe it's set in or because it's misses out a bunch of characters that were never promised to even begin with is just silly. It's ending should hopefully soothe those apprehensive about TKJ. I myself hate 3/4 of this universes movies but watching this with an open mind is a blast. Dont wanna give too much away but this is the Bond movie that SPECTRE wishes it was.

Meh for me. I figured the writer from Batman vs Robin would step his game up, since the director was doing so much of the heavy lifting. This time, there were like 2 moments at best that felt worth investing in and the rest was very standard stuff akin to a 2-3 parter ep from a show than an actual movie.

Oh and it was pretty overstuffed.

Yeah it was definitely more of a 2 part episode of a larger series but that's exactly what I liked about it. These new Batman movies are all about world building. I'm already excited for the next entry based on the teaser.

I disagree about it being overstuffed,they took all those C-list villains(that we'll probably never see anywhere) and made them enjoyable and cool. I'd argue Assault or Public Enemies were overstuffed as most of the characters there had no purpose. The movie didn't have the depth or richness of characterization that MOTP or UTRH had but the characters they used were well done,had defined roles and enjoyable.

 

[2kt09]

I wasn't just talking villains, though I could've done without half of those C-listers. They didn't contribute much to the narrative and were barely developed themselves. Most of them were there for the action like any other henchmen.
Honestly, I might have gotten more from the new members if that was cut down.

My "overstuffed" comment was from the fact that there was a lot going on, occasionally trivial enough to detract from the movie's focus
and even just there for the shock value.
Public Enemies I haven't seen since it premiered and Assault is not in the least bit as thick on plot and subplots as this movie.

Ultimately, I just think this movie had the right ideas, but needed a tighter script.

 

[Drz]

I liked it aswell, but the last 20 minutes felt like an extended commercial for introducing plot elements to atleast 1-2 Batman movies.

I liked the use of obscure characters, like a character I had never heard before but they really didn't do much at the end of the day, some of the action sequences we're cool and some we're sloppy.

Overall it's a step to the right direction with Batman vs. Robin, just feel the needless gore should stop.

 

[Snow Queen]

Unsurprisingly mediocre. I shouldn't have expected more, but I had some actual interest in this one unlike their last few so it was rather disappointing.



EDIT: The more I think about this one, the more I dislike it...

 

[Slade W]

It was ok, but not great. Large part of the film were boring IMO. I really liked Batwoman in this. She was one of the few things that they did well, she was bad-ass.

Spoiler

I don't like how they used Talia and made her a remorseless villain. It's been a while since I seen Son of Batman, but I don't remember her being anywhere near as evil in that. She didn't even care or love Damien anymore in this. I don't like it when they make her a full-fledged villain, but if they are going to do it then I would like it if they did it well. It doesn't seem to work with her, in this or the comics (or perhaps that is because the stories are written poorly and has nothing to do with her being the villain). Deathstroke, Court of Owls and now Talia. That is three great characters/villains that have been underwhelming in these movies.

Also,

Spoiler

I was half asleep when watching this so I did not understand Talia's death scene. Why did someone who was formerly working for her attack her? Or was it a planned suicide for both of them?

 

[Slade W]

Spoiler

The way there were lots of Batfamily members introduced makes me think they are planning to do Death of the Family. Also, for whatever reason, I thought The Killing Joke was going to be like the other classic stories that have been made into animated films like Year One, Dark Knight Returns etc (ie not set in any timeline). I did not think it was going to be set in this timeline (or at least Batgirls introduction makes me think that it will be in this timeline).

 

[Supa]

Spoiler

Awful convenient that all the villains who could conceivably know who Bruce is just happened to all die.

Batwing seemed...pointless. His Iron Man suit seems a bit contrasting with the rest of the family, for one thing. For another...did he actually do anything? I just finished the movie and I'm honestly not sure if there was anything he actually contributed.
Kate was cool though. Odd that the card she gave to Renee would have her home address on it, but what do I care. Non-villainous lesbians in comics FTW!
Maybe I'm watching too much superhero crap but the second the Watchtower started flying I knew it was going to end up hitting a building. You'd think the world's greatest detective might know not to launch a rocket near a major metropolitan area.

I like how he called all 3 of them, AND Robin, all to beat up Penguin. From the looks of it he was just robbing a bank. And that getaway car couldn't hold more than 5 people. AND Batgirl show up out of nowhere so now 6 people are all going to beat up the Penguin. Cobblepot doesn't deserve that.

All in all, it was meh. Had cool moments, but pretty weakly held together.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It was ok, didn't really wow me, but that is to expected after so many Bat dtvs. It is a shame though at how much their budget seems to have decreased, animation was basic as hell.

The ending was the most exciting part.

Spoiler

Her former henchwoman was angry because Talia killed the Heretic as they were presumably involved. Also I doubt Talia really died; explosions from afar don't always mean death (example: Joker/helicopter in Assault on Arkham).

 

[jokesonm3]

Recently watched it and i rather enjoyed it, as opposed to the other recent Batman films.

Still bad compared to the good old Conroy days.

Spoiler

You get a quick glimpse back when Talia was scolding clone Damien. She was being held back by Heretic, so she was clearly more loyal to him. After he was killed right in front of her much to her shock, Onyx sort of vanished from the plot until she got an opening towards the end to get revenge on Talia.

I did not think it was going to be set in this timeline (or at least Batgirls introduction makes me think that it will be in this timeline).

Killing Joke is self-contained. There's one PG-13 flick (original or adaptation) every year that's detached from this universe of films.

Spoiler

He was part of the action in defeating the flyers. He saved the Bat-family from falling to their demise. He hacked open the Watchtower and had the schematics to guide them toward each necessary task. He did his Iron Man thing in trying to push it from colliding with the skyscraper.
