[@ariesviolent]

I don't really feel this is a Batman movie. I feel he was made a part of a story to sell the movie. Bruce Wayne only dresses up as Batman twice and in the end is told he's the most untalented fighter of the group.

[@derrickhaggard]

I'm kind of in the middle on this argument. Cause while yes I would loved if it was just a DC Animated film starring Richard Dragon, Bronze Tiger, and Lady Shiva cause they are seriously underrated characters especially Richard I mean he's officially known in canon as the 2nd best martial artist in the entire DC Multiverse the guy who in some storylines trained Batman, Lady Shiva, and Bronze Tiger in Martial Arts and he doesn't get the respect he deserves from most DC Fans but I also understand they put Batman in here just because he's recognizable, to help sell the film since most DC fans are Batman fans.

[@d.a.baracus]

If Batman was excised from the plot, then nobody would watch this. If Batman is the weakest part of the movie & they wanted to develop the other characters, DC could've what they did on Batman: Assault on Arkham. Batman is the headliner, but he's in the movies (as Batman) for only a few minutes. The movie is really a Suicide Squad movie, but was marketed as a Batman movie to draw the larger audience.

[@anthonyboccanfuso2663]

Yeah, and then people would complain about how Batman wasn't very interesting despite having his name on the titles. You can't really win. That being said, I hope that WB uses this film to gaga interest for a Martial Arts movie with Shiva, Dragon, and Bronze Tiger.

[@anthonyboccanfuso2663]

While this style of animation is popular in many DC animated movies, there are movies like Under the Red Hood and Flashpoint Paradox that have better looking animation. I wish they would change it more often, but this is probably cheap and easy to do for the animators.

[@LunaticReason]

People complaining Batman is weaker and that he shouldn't be in it don't get that this is about where he first picked up his martial arts skills so of course he won't be as skilled as he is known to be yet. If he started out as the best then he'd just be some Gary/Mary sue type character and people don't get that this is an homage to the Dennis O'Neil characters and period of Batman. It's about character development and canon wise Batman has always had trouble fighting Lady Shiva and Richard Dragon canon wise is considered one of the best fighters all of them are. Remember Bruce also has learned from other teachers like Ra's Ah Ghul so eventually becomes better then what he is now.

@@LunaticReason so it's his name? It's still a little weird though cause they still call him just "sensei".
