LOVED this one. Probably the best DTV in awhile in my book.
I've seen lots of whining about Batman taking a backseat in reviews and stuff.. Not how I saw it. He was an integral part of the story, arguably given the most emotional development of any of the leads. This is also the coolest Bruce Wayne has been on film in probably.....ever. Guintoli has a great voice for the character. Especially enjoyed the scene with Silver.
Also never saw the ending as "theyre all dead." As explained in the special features, it was done deliberately as an homage to the movies of that period. Bruce Lee running towards gunfire at the end of Chinese Connection, the ending of Thelma and Louise. They left a spark of hope in there with O-Senseii's adage: "together, you can accomplish anything." Plus the Batman smile.
Timm even said in one of the myraid of interviews that came out this week that he has a sequel idea ready to go, after having a discussion with James Tucker about it. So lets hope the sales are solid here. I dont see it continuing where this one left off though. Maybe a throwaway line about how the situation was resolved but methinks theyre gonna go the full-on Ras Al Ghul route, which would be great.
