Review of Son of Batman (2014) by Garrett W — 24 Aug 2016

As a fan of Grant Morrison's Batman & Son comic, this movie is disappointing. It deviates so much from the source material and that makes me sad because I really want to see a faithful adaptation of the comic book, as well as the rest of Grant Morrison's Batman stories.

The Dark Knight Returns and Under the Red Hood were not only great movies, but they were mostly true to the comics they were based on and unfortunately the newer Batman movies are not very faithful adaptations, nor are they great movies.

I personally don't think Jason O'Mara is a great voice actor, he isn't terrible, but is voice is often very monotone. Stuart Allan does a decent job as Damien, but unfortunately the other voice actors are not that great.

The animation is top notch, but that can't make up for the mediocre voice acting, bad writing, and massive differences from the comic book.
