This DC animated movie is based on the graphic novel Batman and Son. As you might suspect, the traditional DC Universe has been “modified” for this story. Without revealing any of the plot twists, I can safely say Batman fans will enjoy Son of Batman. The DVD comes with a “Special Feature” which is a sneak peek at the next DC Universe animated movie, Batman: Assault on Arkham. I’ll be watching Batman: Assault on Arkham next. GRADE: B+
And you noticed that the screenplay was by Joe R. Lansdale, I enjoyed the film about the same as you.
Scott, I’m always delighted by Joe R. Lansdale’s work. Glad you enjoyed SON OF BATMAN as much as I did!
You must have one heck of an annimation library, George! This looks kind of interesting, but I don’t have the cash to spend on these. I might check to see if the library has these.
Rick, I bought SON OF BATMAN for $5. Well worth it!
I had no idea how many of these films there were.
Patti, either MARVEL or DC seem to bring out an animated feature every other month.
That writing credit really is an unexpected come on – thank you!
Sergio, I’ll watch (or read) anything by Joe R. Lansdale!
