this post may contain spoiler representalthough it be 5 year after the series end and wb be currently work on justice league and this animated movie be a welcome addition to the video library . why . well and if mask of the phantasm compliment the first 70 episode of batman represent the animated series and subzero compliment the 15 episode of the adventure of batman and robin and then mystery of the batwoman compliment the final 24 episode of the gotham knight version of batman . kevin conroy once again deliver a voice over performance that be nothing short of excellence and perfection . i admit i be a bit leery when i hear about batwoman and all i could think about be the old 50 comic of batman . but i be blow away by the batwoman character and her look and her costume ( which i assume inspired bruce wayne to create the costume on batman beyond ) and the fact that this movie keep you guess who batwoman be all the way through . if you want to know who batwoman be and then buy or rent the dvd . barbara gordon make a cameo appearance and i think the writer be try to hint that bruce and barbara have something go on between them like they do in batman beyond . tim drake appear a robin and but his role be a small one and sadly and there be no sign of or mention of dick grayson alias nightwing and which lead me to believe he have establish himself in bludhaven ( his city in the comic ) . of the three suspect for batwoman and my favorite be kathy duquesne and who look an awful lot like halle berry . kelly ripa do a great job a one of the other suspect . when it come to the villain and i be glad the penguin be one of them and but i do not like the fact that they replace paul williams with david ogden stiers . pengy just do not sound right . same thing go for robin . the new guy do okay and but just a i be start to get use to matt valencia and they replace him . it interest to note that kevin michael richardson and who voice carlton duquesne be now the voice of the joker in the batman series . and we finally see what rupert thorne look like revamp since he do not show up in the gotham knight episode . the late john vernon will be miss . although i enjoy henry silva a the voice of bane and if he have to be replace and they get the right man in the form of hector elizondo . i only wish they could have use two face and riddler and or the scary new version of the scarecrow . the musical score and especially the soft sounding intro be superb . i wish that be on a soundtrack and i especially enjoy the beautiful and talented cherie in the iceberg lounge along with her song and betcha neva . while some feel that this movie be weak than the mask of the phantasm and subzero and i find it just a strong and enjoyable a the rest and plus like i say earlier and it a full length movie base off the gotham knight version of batman and which i think give a good balance . i would at least recommend rent this dvd first before buy it for those who might be leery of this movie and but personally and it well worth the purchase . i give mystery of the batwoman a 9 .
