Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Jul 15
Though it uses the characters and foundational elements of Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Dark Knight and the subsequent characters of Gotham City, it does so through the prism of Japanese cultural, creating opportunities to do some truly amazing things ... Go to Full Review

It is one of those feature films that must be faced with a certain predisposition and with the mind as open as possible. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Nathan J. @NathanDirector Apr 12 Rating: 6.9/10 ⭐️ I expected a typical Batman adventure, but this wild visual leap into feudal Japan anime totally blew my mind. What Worked: Mizusaki’s blend of anime styles and mo-cap gives the sword fights a super visceral, kinetic energy. Okazaki perfectly adapts Gotham’s rogues into historical Japanese archetypes. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing Batman stripped of his gadgets to rely purely on discipline and community beautifully illustrates how losing our worldly tools forces us to lean heavily on grace when facing darkness. The Cuts: Having two different scripts explains the disjointed dialogue, and the middle part really dragged for me with random exposition dumps. They crammed in way too many villains, totally sidelining awesome characters like Deathstroke. Keeping it spoiler-free, the massive third-act tonal shift gave me total whiplash, pivoting from a gritty ninja story into super over-the-top territory. Verdict: A visually gorgeous but messy experiment.

Batman chega dois anos depois e descobre que os seus adversários dominaram regiões e agora lutam entre si para se tornar o senhor de todos. Batman e os seus aliados passa para uma corrida contra o tempo para retornarem à sua época. Aqui o personagem e todo o conjunto de aliados e inimigos são reinterpretados para a época representada, como o próprio estilo da animação segue o dos animes. O visual de alguns personagens ficou muito bom, como o do Capuz Vermelho, do Coringa ou do Bane, como um lutador de sumô. Além disso, vários estilos são usados na animação. Um exemplo é o da sequência onde o Batman e o Capuz Vermelho reencontram o Coringa e a Arlequina e é usado um estilo totalmente diferente. Outra coisa interessante é a utilização de robôs gigantes, lembrando os utilizados nos tokusatsus. Pode soar estranho e até a tecnologia não existir, mas até esta liberdade acaba se encaixando na estética e proposta da animação.
