Batman vs Mr Freeze Sub Zero.

I watched my fair share of this movie because my kid brother always had it on, but I always disliked it, specifically the fact that barbara gordon was a damsel in distress the entire movie and never once put on the suit. I really wanted to see her in the suit. It felt like a giant tease the entire movie.

It also felt like an animated attempt at the 1997 movie batman and robin with the whole mr freeze angle and nora, with barbara being the one who has the ultra rare blood type, etc.

Everyone mentioned the obvious ones.

Ill say that I was pleasantly surprised by The Batman vs Dracula. Of course, I only watched it once, and I was in high school, so I cant guarantee its gonna hold up

I mean yeah it's way better than the schumaker crap but then so is sheep turd so it's not really much of a bar.

I think it's because batman and robin actually had a batgirl that suited up and I was hoping this animated movie would do it as well and better, but they never did.

I was looking these all up and noticed the writer/producer on most of these was Alan Burnett. That sent me down a rabbit hole because I remember meeting a relative as a child at a family party who was a producer on Batman stuff. My great-grandmother's maiden name was Burnett, so I called my mom real quick and she confirmed it's Alan Burnett lol.

So thanks for completing a childhood memory I had and couldn't figure out how to solve, TC!

The Killing Joke is one of the biggest bastardization disappointments I've ever bore witness to in my life.

I haven't seen all of these, but can vouch for most of them and will tell you: listen to this man and not the first one I quoted.

Thank you. Also there are the New 52 based Batman films but I kinda find some of them unlikable. Only two stand out to me and those are Son of Batman and Batman: Hush. Also has anyone seen Batman: Soul of the Dragon?

Though I did see Superman/Batman: Apocalypse which was decent.

Hush was great.

IMO you can skip Death In The Family. All it is, is Bruce recapping the entire Red Hood story to Clark in a cafe and then it ends. Felt pointless when you may as well just watch Under The Red Hood.

Killing Joke

This some people bitched the bit they added to the beginning but once you get past that you can safely ignore it amd the rest is damn near a 1:1 of the graphic novel .

I thought batman vs robin was allright.

I think one called doom. A justice league movie but batman is clearly the main character as the whole movie is about his contingency plans he has incase the league turns evil

No. They adapted the actual comic poorly too. The bad fan fiction at the beginning just overshadows everything else.

He is likely saying that the stuff they added was a big enough detraction that it somewhat ruined the rest.

I will throw in this though: The big speech was NOT a 1:1 thing. It was not originally partly during the fight. It was Joker speaking over a loudspeaker as Batman made his way through corridors and traps on his way to face off with the joker. The speech ends before any physical interaction occurs.

That fan animation I posted a couple posts ago is actually a fairly accurate showing of how the Joker was delivering his speech, right down to the Joker expressing something other than his usual smile during some parts of the speech. The voice clip it uses also highlights most the original speech's emphasis as well (the words that are bolded in the original comic). Its not a perfect fit of course, but its reasonably close.

In the movie, the Joker begins the fight about 3/4s of the way through the speech via bashing Bats over the head with a pot, and then finishes the rest of the speech while basically kicking Bats while he is down a few times while he finishes the speech. It then ends it with a very angry tone and appearance which does not match what the comic showed. The tone of the speech in general is also different at points, such as not laughing at the "multiple choice" part.

I mean, this speech is quite possibly Joker's most famous one. The events leading up to it all involving Gordan and others culminating in the Joker making one of his most defining performances ever. For many fans of The Joker, the speech was one of the primary things they were going to grade a good portion of the whole movie on. If they had really knocked the speech out of the park, then more people might be able to forgive the other... additional filler added to the movie to some degree.

But honestly (its probably obvious by this point that this is my opinion on the speech), they didn't do the best job with the speech. I mean, yes, that fan animation has one of the best villain background musics in Batman history accompanying it (the Finale song from Batman Returns). But that is at least the general tone and feel of a song I would have wanted to hear during the speech. Tragedy is supposed to be the other side of comedy. And so, should have been the secondary tone of the speech, as Joker switches back and forth between his high energy, happy/manic mode and a more subdued, relatively down-to-earth (especially for The Joker), lower energy mode throughout the speech.

So yeah, I feel they did the speech a disservice.
