Review of Son of Batman (2014) by Kevin M — 28 Jun 2016

A decent and entertaining movie that definitly is more violent and sensual than previous DC animated movies and kicks off a new batch of Damian centric Batman films sort of base on the Grant Morrison and New 52 universe.

Now, Damian is far from being my favorite character or even my favorite Robin and I would much rather having films revolve around Dick Grayson or Tim Drake, and that's the main reason I don't entirely love this new movies.

But given the circumstances I have learnt to enjoy this movies. Yeah, Damian is a little shit but here is much more bearable than in the comics. I liked his relationship with Alfred and Dick and the fact that they both put him in his place.

I also really liked his relationship with Bruce and how, even though they have very different views in many matters (most importantly killing the enemies), Damian ends up learning a lot form his father and respecting him.

And, even though Damian is a little shit, you understand why he is like that and even feel sorry for him because he is not responsible for the education he received. I also really liked Dick's introduction and his chemistry with Damian.

The representation of Batman was fine but it is definetly not its best. And, even though it has some relly great action sequences, some were way too violent to be believable. In conclusion, this was a fine and entertaining movie but it is far from being one of the best DC animated movies.
