pretty good overall.

Definitely disagree with the other review, while Gibson admittedly had big shoes to fill in regards to Slade/Deathstroke, he dosen't quite measure up to Perlman, but I felt he did an admirable enough job of making him a menacing and intimidating villain overall. Damian was kind of annoying at times, but it was nevertheless cool to watch him take on men way bigger then him, regardless of how implausible it was. Didn't really see Batman fist-fighting Killer Croc as Too Dumb to Live(especially since he's done that before in BTAS). I was expecting Rah's to return as a last-minute plot twist and was surprised that he didn't, I actually would've liked more focus on Langstrom as he was pretty interesting and he didn't really get to know that much about him. There were some funny parts and some cool action(that opening battle was simply epic), I will concede that it is the weakest Batman film by far, though it's still pretty damn good(also like the Green Lantern films, though i'd rather have an animated adaption of Batgirl).

Counter review?

Nah, just my own thoughts with a slight rebuttal.

Weakest film by far? I don't know, the Batman: Year One movie was pretty rubbish. It was a Batman story that would have been more interesting without Batman, and it switches between woefully-inefficient Batman to survives-a-fire-bombing-while-bleeding-out Batman. No matter the flaws of this film, I doubt it's on the level of the Batman: Year One adaption. Though that's just my personal opinion - I don't like how the story went with Selena Kyle or with Gordon's affair, and the grimdark 70's cop drama story just didn't have room for Batman.

Excuse me for getting sidetracked. I'll probably end up watching this at some point, but regardless of faults I doubt it's as bad as Batman: Year One.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.

Batman year one was rubbish? Have you lost your mind,Mr Mallard? Year one is one of the outright best batman films. You sure you don't just hate frank miller's work? Because everything you just complained of is frank miller's grim&gritty grimdark signature. Not liking frank miller's grittiness is not a fault, though. 70% of his dialouge is usually the word "whores".

...Suppose I did slam this film, a lot. Son of Batman is a good film, just not as good as the last ones. And does a great job giving Damian his first animated feature(btw I didn't find him annoying. He gets all the best lines) but unless the next film has Damian in it, its just not an urgent film to see. In case you didn't know the next dc film is also a Batman flick. Damian is not in it.

When you make three separate countpoints, and those points make up half of the review, that changes the review from "a slight rebuttal" to a counter review.

^That was my point too.
