Pure crap, I repeat. First time to watch Knockout animated, you know, the super powerful Fury runaway from Apokolips, virtually invulnerable, even to an atomic bomb and what happened? She was wounded by bullets or something like that. Total nonsense.

The setting is sometime in the distant future, about "Fifth Element" age. The Midas Meteor with a gold center is passing the Earth. The city is hit with a crime wave conducted by animals: Cheetah Woman, Silver Back, Killer Croc, and Man Bat. There are also mechanical animals working with them and a new guy in time who looks like the Penguin. Plot is not too difficult to figure out. The good guys include: Batman, Red Robin, Nightwing, The Flash, and Green Arrow. Predictable. Not overly exciting.

The only reason I gave this entry to the DC animated universe a five is because it's Batman. That's it. What we have here is a futuristic Gotham with the ol' good guys against the ol' bad guys scenario. The basic plot has the Penguin recruiting many of the animal super-villains--Cheetah, Silverback, Killer Croc, among others--to help pull off a heist of, ahem, cosmic proportions. Naturally, the good guys have to stop them and you can guess the rest. First, the good points. Decent music, fast moving, some good fight sequences. And now, the bad. The animation looks like it's been scaled down significantly. I'm not expecting Pixar. I am expecting something decent. This wasn't. Batman's suit (light blue) hearkens back to the late 1960's take and it doesn't suit (no pun intended) this day and age. His gold get-through-the-force-field suit reminded me of some lousy Japanese anime...double ungood. As for the script, again, while War and Peace ain't on the menu, this makes Jack and Jill Go Up the Hill read like a masterpiece. Cheesy, poor humor, poorer lines...the one good thing was the voice cast that did what they could with their parts. I miss Kevin Conroy doing the voice of Batman. He had the bearing. His replacement sounds like a slightly younger version of him, but with no depth. The actress doing Cheetah sounds like a whiny child, and I got zero sense of menace behind any of the baddies. Not their fault, really; 'twas the script that done 'em in. Finally, all the old stereotypes of animals being what they are were trotted out, and quite frankly, that kind of thinking should have gone out fifty years ago. I heard this direct-to-DVD effort was to sell toys. My only question is: How many? Nothing wrong with selling goods to the kiddies, but this video is an insult to any comic book/cartoon fan.

This is awful Batman Story and they even manage to pull in to that black whole Green Arrow and Flash. For real this one of the worst animated movies I have watched to date and I felt that I wasted one hour and sixteen minutes all for nothing. Anyway I at least can warn you dear reader to not see it. I am pretty sure that the team behind that junk haven't read, watch or even work in a DC animated flick before for they would know who to do it if not excellent then in a respective manner. This flick is a huge marketing trick in order to get money by selling toys. Toy Story itself had less merchandise and it was about freaking toys for crying out loud. And my three out of ten shows how high I have this tactics in order for the studio make money! At this moment I feel bad for I saw again my favorite superhero been in bad flick after Batman and Robin for I though "It is almost two decades for his abomination ,everyone by now should have learn what to avoid".Well that film broke this belief in me. Also the cherry on top of this Pyle of horse dump has a lot of inconsistencies! In the end avoid it at all cost it doesn't deserve a chance of this flick is a insult to the comics' mythology!

Obviously this isn't the best Batman movie ever but I wasn't expecting it to be. I expected it to be a decent animated Cartoon Network style movie, and that's what I got. The story is decent enough but the action/fight sequences could be better. Also, at times it felt like there was too many characters. Penguin wanted to destroy everyone so he could be rich, but that doesn't make any sense because there's no point in being rich if you're the only one on earth.

Batman-lite. For all those with kiddies who might have been traumatised by the recent spate of morbid Dark Knight flicks, this should provide a much sanitised breath of fresh air. No-one dies. There's plenty of jokes, mostly courtesy of the Caped Crusader's colourful support team of heroes. And the violence is on the same level of a Saturday morning cartoon. All in all, it's the perfect film to introduce them to arguably DC comics most popular superhero, without having to tolerate weeks of crying and bedwetting afterwards. The only other factors worth mentioning are the new futuristic setting for Gotham City (which helps it stand out from most previous reimaginings of Batman) and the radical new design for the Penguin, who now resembles a cyborg more than a deformed old man. At least it makes him a more formidable adversary for Bats, though. Personally I prefer a more noir-ish setting for the Dark Knight, but as long as other versions of his mythos are entertaining enough, I can live with the occasional concession to his younger fans. Not bad at all. 6/10

It's a good movie, for any Batman fan. The reason I am voting it only 6 star is due to the fact that this title almost humiliate world most beloved superhero character known as The Flash!!! I hope many viewers will agree with me on this, even Green Arrow has good looking costume (may be this was inspire by CW TV series) and he was fighting alongside with Batman and his team equally. But The Flash is tag along with Nightwing and even he was showing Batman-like attitude towards Flash...which I don't like...But the overall movie was good... Villains played there roles pretty good. The whole Robotic-Mutant team-up Anamlaitia idea was cool..

5 Stars for the sake of making a Batman Movie. You will find the slowest flash here, he even forgot to leave a streak behind in his last scene. Some guerrilla is faster than him. Arrow's arrows are made of rubber and wood. They bounce off the crock's skin but can penetrate concrete. Gordon's here to say hi to Bruce and then witness the saving moment. So is Alfred, I mean why put someone there if he's not adding anything to the story. Penguin is stupid as ever, but in a stupid plot like this he makes a smart entry. But then invites everyone to a gala to introduce his tech. or alert and scare everyone? There's no logic to the story, Perspective is off and what not. I was so excited to see a new Batman title but man, am disappointed. On the positive side, graphics are sleek, and the Batman looks good.
