“Son Of Batman” is another decent DC animated flick. I think it could have been a little better but I think it wisely knows to keep things fairly straightforward and not try to have too many plot points. It’s pretty violent at times but it’s also far from being the most violent “Batman” animated film.

When the League of Shadows is attacked by Deathstroke, Talia al-Ghul decides it’s time to take her son, Damian, to meet his father. Bruce Wayne/Batman never knew he had a son but now, he must take the violent young boy and train him in the ways of justice. They must also try and stop the evil Deathstroke’s merciless plans.

I think Batman is pretty good here. I like Talia as well but I wish she had more time on the screen. Damian Wayne is only meant to be ten but he kills like it’s nothing. Deathstroke is a good villain but he feels criminally underdeveloped at times. If only this film were a little longer, we might have got to see more of him. Other Batman villains do appear but I don’t think things get too complicated. The animation on everybody looks fairly good.

Some of the action sequences here are reasonably exciting and engaging. I think the idea of Batman having a son with Talia al-Ghul is interesting too. There’s nothing really wrong here but I just feel like it could have been a lot better. If you like Batman then this is another good effort from DC but it just isn’t as thrilling as it could have been. I really like the Deathstroke character in the old “Teen Titans” cartoons and I was hoping I’d get to see something more like that. What’s here is fine but don’t expect anything amazing with “Son Of Batman”.
