OK. First, this compilation of movies is worth the money IF you completely remove the first two short movies...they are total waste of time. Bats doesn't even LOOK like himself but some blackish-blue mist (go figure) in the 1st one. The animation as well as the storyline in it is AWFUL(kids telling their version of what Bats did). In the second short, you don't even see him until the very end. But, I have to say when he FINALLY DOES make his appearance, skulls are cracked, noses are bleeding, the innocent are protected,justice is served and oh well...it's typical Bats.
Secondly,the animation in each story is markedly different. Anime is the defining thing here. 20-ish Bruce Wayne doesn't look like any Bruce Wayne I've ever seen before. But, lo and behold MR. Kevin Conroy is the voice cast as Bats throughout so all is right with the world as far as I am concerned.
The last 3 or 4 movies are violent and fast-moving. They range from his painful saw-my-parents-murdered-origins and showing how Bruce trained in another country to learn how to deal with physical pain to him going one-on-one via top of a racing subway train with a would-be assassin.
You also get 3-4 episodes from the '90's animated show. But, I was disappointed in the quality...colors were fuzzy, sounds were muffled...like they hadn't been remastered.
Is it worth the price tag? If you're a hardcore bats fan--- YES! If you're not, better stick with some of the Fox (1990's Batman; Adventures of..) and WB (2000's The Batman)on dvd.

I got a sweet deal on this from Amazon and I'm glad I checked with Amazon before laying down more mulah at Walmart for the same thing.
This DVD is more Batman, but with other angles that most people probably haven't seen. Always fun to see other artists approaching the iconic comic hero, Batman.

Bruce Wayne, and Batman, takes on a new image, in this version. Which appears as a highly stylized and detailed, animated, comic book.

This review is a warning for all parents. I got this DVD as a free rental at Family Video in the children section. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT A DVD TO BE VIEWED BY CHILDREN. Gunfights where blood is splattering all over the place. One kid's description of a Batman fight where they show Batman cutting off his opponents head! While watching I kept asking myself - "what's the point?"
