"Son of Batman" Animated Feature Pre-Release Discussion (Spoilers)

[War-bearer]

I haven't seen this yet, the Blu-Ray isn't release until the 5th of May, but who did the animation for the movie? I don't see the Mad House logo on the cover, so I'm assuming it's Dong Woo or some place of the like!

Spoiler

The Answer Studio which also did Batman Under the Red Hood

 

[Yojimbo]

Unfortunately, have to agree with sentiment more or less. On first viewing, this was rather mediocre. I'll give it another shot in the days to come. It feels like this movie was set up for a hopefully better Batman movie set up in this continuity.

I do admit some nice geography bits

Spoiler

Going to Interlaken or the coordinates Deathstroke gave Damian was accurate if you plug into a Google Map search.

And the movie pretty does it job in canon building with expanding on Gotham City and Batman's supporting cast where as in War we had a quick jaunt with Batman and Green Lantern. More thoughts later.

Do they call him Slade or Deathstroke in this movie, or both?

As a followup to your question now that I've seen the movie:

Spoiler

He's referred to as "Slade" "Slade Wilson" and "Deathstroke" in the movie.

Since this is suppose to be in the same continuity with JL War, were there any nods or mentions of War or mentions of other Supers or time frame between War in this???

Was there any scenes after the credits??

No, no, no, and no. The only real indicators this took place after War that I noticed so far is

Spoiler

implication at best. Batman's costume is slightly tweaked from the one in War and the GCPD openly work with Batman instead of shooting at him.

On the question about credits teasers,

Spoiler

No, it's just deleted stills from the Nightwing and Damian battle.

Thanks yojimbo!!

i just it saw today, and I loved it. I'm definitely buying the DVD next week.

Great fight scenes and shows The Batman very formidable. You can tell this guy can hang with the other Supers in the JL.

I'm not a fan of supers in their prime having children unless it's a future telling story or else worlds story but this movie grew on me.

Agreed, it seems like there may be plans for Damian which necessitated this introduction.

So looking at the ads, in terms of exclusive versions there are two:
-Target has the Steelbook edition, as always.
-Best Buy has a Deathstroke figure included

No Ron Pearlman what the hell? No sale for me. He is Deathstroke just as much as Clancy Brown is Lex Luthor.
