Story: Batman learns he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son, secretly raised by the terrorist group the League of Assassins.

Likes : This one from DC animated series of film's is kind of funny, it like watching father like son, yet the kid is a reckless & undisciplined in the way of not killing anyone as his been trained by the legion of assassin under the rule of his grandfather ras al ghul & his mother Talia al Ghul.
Unlike the other film from DC this one isn't as dark & violent as most of the other film but still  has the odd violent scene special some fights with slade aka death-stroke, although i do prefer the darker animated film it make a change to see a slightly dull down less violent DC animated film.
To give an honest opinoin i think Dc/warner brothers need to start uping their game by make more live action film like Marvel because Dc is seriously lacking in DC live action film's.The story of this one isn't to bad great voice-over acting, good animation really set a tone for father & son film.If you into the animated film of Dc comic your love this one, all in all pretty good enjoyable film to watch.

Dislikes
: could of been a bit darker bit more violent

Overall : Father & son team up, great animated film, good story-line

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 6 out of 10 for animation violence & story
