* BaseBreakingCharacter: Damian Wayne. While initially [[TheScrappy hated by fans]], he's grown more into this role over time, since more fans have come to like him due to his character development over the films and having grown a bit more humble and open to his teammates over time. On the flip side, he still has his detractors who feel that he's an annoying MartyStu character who repeatedly gets to show up everybody else and gets [[CreatorsPet too much preferential treatment from the writers]]. The fact that he's taken down people like Deathstroke, Nightwing, Batman, Talon, and even Superman himself at one point has made him the object of derision from those fans. Damian Wayne is not universally hated by any stretch but he's far from being universally loved by fans in the same token.
* BrokenBase:
** In general, it's easier to say which of the movies based on the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'' comics ''aren't'' this.
** Whether or not the focus on Batman and his supporting cast in the recent movies at the expense of everyone else. Fans either don't care or think Batman is stealing all the spotlight ''again''.



* GrowingTheBeard: Beginning with ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBadBlood'', audience reception towards the ComicBook/New52-based films has been warmer, thanks to a wider emphasis on ensemble casts and moving away from focusing only on Damian. Case in point? ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract'' is considered by many to be the strongest film to date.



* MemeticLoser: Dick Grayson/Nightwing in the animated New 52 continuity. He's a skilled fighter in his own right and lest we forget, he was trained by Batman himself. However, a large portion of his fights tend to see him lose a lot, whether it's at the hands of Damian Wayne, Talon, a brainwashed Batman, or Deathstroke. It's gotten to the point where fans are complaining that the writers don't have any respect for Nightwing and that it's Dick's destiny to be the whipping boy of the DC animated movies.



* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Damian Wayne. Originally, even fans of him in the comics detested him for being an unlikable jerk and recieving plenty of CharacterShilling, showing up all the characters at virtually everything. Thankfully, a multi-movie arc has significantly improved his attitude and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'' had him endure some BreakTheHaughty while also becoming more of a team-player.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: ''All'' of the films have a 75 minute length, the minimum required for a film to be considered feature-length which makes for rather condensed storytelling.

Altering to accomdate new view as Scrappy entry was conflicted


* TheScrappy: Damian Wayne. Fans of his comic portrayal see the animated portrayal as far less interesting because he's too much of an unlikable jerk. Everyone also criticizes how much CharacterShilling ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanVsRobin'', and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'' gives Damian, making him the best at everything he does and showing up other characters in the process.
** This view is ''highly'' debatable. Damian is a character with a multi-story character arc, and he gets progressively more likable with each instalment. Damian is ''supposed'' to be a jerk when we first meet him (as he was in the comics) , and he is ''supposed'' to warm up over time, like he did in Grant Morrison's run. By the end of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'' Damian has been sufficiently humbled without outright losing who he is.

It certainly didn't stop Creator/CartoonNetwork from airing ''WesternAnimation/SupermanDoomsday'' (which was aired on their action block Creator/{{Toonami}}, edited for a TV-PG-V rating) and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight'' (aired during regular daytime hours, and edited for a TV-14 rating).
