it air on tv yesterday and so i decide to check it out . this be one of the last bruce timm or paul dini dtv project relate to their old 1992 batman the animated series and after that jeff matsuda come along and re imagined batman with his new the batman series and but anyway and the story of this new batman movie center around the appearance of a new vigilante know a batwoman and however batman feel the need to stop her because of her extreme method and and also in the meantime take down the pengiun and ruphert thorn who both be secretly work with carlton duquesne ( who have family trouble ) and another villain ( which be later reveal in the movie ) on a weapon smuggle operation and they also put a bounty on the batwoman . the question be represent who be this mysterious batwoman and be it possible that they could be more then one . it up to batman to solve this mystery and stop penguin late operation . for an animated movie and it have a fairly complex plot and a serious tone and which be good . another plus be the complete redesign of the penguin who look much more like the sophisticated mob bos be use to see in the comic and unlike his previous design that borrow element from tim burton vision of pengium ( sewer rat and circus freak ) . even though the movie contain a love subplot it never carry that far and doesn not derail the movie like say and batman forever . the voice acting be standard quality for these direct to video project ( if only batman represent mask of phantasm take this route ) and kevin conroy still shin a batman or bruce wayne . and like i say despite run for some very short 80 minute and it manage to make a pretty good ( and complex ) storyline complete with a few minor twist and bucket load of action . there be a few downside and however and nightwing be nowhere to be see and and i be sure barbara gordon and bruce wayne do not click a a couple and even though be just reference and tim drake ( aka robin ) do very little in the movie and to be quite frank and i be never a big fan of paul dini and bruce timm batman character design ( especially in their batman show post btas ) and this the new adventure of batman and robin and well and it kinda make batman look fat then rather a well build bulk up individual ( kinda like the jeff matsuda character model from the batman ) . bruce wayne seem a bit awkward and those blue eye make him look more like clark kent then bruce ( though it true they do look very much alike ) . another downside be rupert throne ( no explanation a to why he be in this deal and but it safe to say he have goon and what a cut of the deal ) which do very little more then hang out with the penguim or get himself hurt every time he point a gun at someone ( count how many time this happen in the movie and you will be surprise . overall and a good batman animate movie and worth at least a rental .
