Review of Son of Batman (2014) by Jimenez M — 06 Feb 2016
Way loosely based on the Batman story "Son of Batman". It has nothing in common with that story other than the introduction of Damien. A little too bloody a first. Thankfully, DC animation got back to a simplified story which gives all the characters screen time and a chance to develop.
I liked that. On the flip side, Deathstroke was wasted in this. He is nothing like he is supposed to be like. The best mercenary in the DC universe and he gets taken down by *****? Whatever. The kid voice actor for Damien does a great job.
The dialog between Alfred and Damien is fantastic. PG 13 is accurate so not for little ones, much to Joshua's regret. Why the scene with the hookers? That was way unecessary. Glad the language was back to mostly Ok instead of trying to be edgy with all the cussing.
