Batman: Assault on Arkham

Last night the wife and I sat with our girls to watch the new Bat's movie...and the title is a bit deceptive since Batman has only a minor role in this new animated movie... the real stars are---

Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman[5]
Neal McDonough as Floyd Lawton / Deadshot[5]
Hynden Walch as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn[6]
Matthew Gray Gubler as Edward Nygma / The Riddler[3]
Troy Baker as The Joker[5]
C.C.H. Pounder as Amanda Waller[3]
Greg Ellis as Captain Boomerang[3]
Giancarlo Esposito as Black Spider[3]
John DiMaggio as King Shark[7]
Jennifer Hale as Killer Frost[7]
Nolan North as KGBeast,
Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin[8]

Now I'm not going to give away a spoiler here... but I will say it was good, well worth watching and I look forward to watching it again.
One thing I will give up as a courtesy to parents with little kids...

This is the only DC comic movie I've seen where people die in the film--- as in getting their heads blown-up with all the gory goo that goes with... My youngest is seven a thought it was wicked cool--- but just last year she'd have hidden under the covers if she saw something like tat then...

Just so you know ahead of time...

DC has done an amazing jod with there animated movies. Marvel wins hands down at the box office, but dc owns the animated scene.

Right from the start,
this one struck me with the vivid details and the contrasting color combo's.

Now I'm no artist but in the opening moments--- it feels like I'm watching a real artist's work.

Agreed.

But Planet Hulk and Doctor Strange were pretty damn good.

@HardCorps: Thanks for the review. Conroy's Batman is my favorite to date.

When Kevin tells you 'he is Batman', then you'll know that Kevin Conroy IS BATMAN!



I'm hearing great things about this movie, and it's hard for me to describe the love I have for video game series. So with this being based on it, me and my children have a cracking film to watch soon.

That's how to describe it!
