9/10
Great addition to the Arkham-verse
31 August 2014
The story plays in the same universe as the recent video games and the animation leans heavily on the characters from the games so it's easy to recognize the connection. The voice acting is solid, Conroy shines as Batman and Baker's Joker is not quite the same as Hamill's but it's very close and in my opinion works very well. The story is also fun, besides Batman, the Suicide Squad gets a lot of screen time, so Batman isn't in the center of it all but is part of an ensemble where he takes the lead on the heroes side. The plot and some scenes are definitely more mature and target the gamers as audience, which sets it apart from the usual DC animated movies. You still grasp the whole thing if you don't know any of the games but some scenes might be creepy if you don't know in what kind of universe the whole thing is set. All in all it's very entertaining and definitely worth watching if you are a fan of the animated movies.
