Le Fils de Batman

I don't like the comic book source material, and this animated adaptation didn't really impress me significantly either. It still lacks any charm that Morrison's film had. Not that it was a huge charm, but Morrison's approach is specific nonetheless. Japanese animation still doesn't fit well with it. (03/06/2014)

Just five minutes of shared custody of this bratty little monster who would drive Batman to wring his neck, never mind his “no weapons, no dead" policy. Twice over. No wonder his mother refused to recognize him at the end. But regardless of his dear son it’s “sort of weird". Dozens of dead, gallons of blood, poked out eyes, kids crucified... It’s simply a little too uncompromising for the world of DC (and other) comic book movies, but at the same time slap dash and cheaply extolling American values. But thanks to solid and frequent action, there’s no time to get bored. At least I can say that. (21/04/2014)
