Rating: - batman to the rescue........
this dvd is about how batman got started. each of the different clips and stories are about 15-20 minutes long and could almost be a movie in and of themselves. each one shows batmans different pains and struggles physically and mentally; his evolution to where we see him on the BIG screen. the animation and sequences are a lot like animatrix or parts of kill bill.....so if you liked that....you'll love this!

i was just looking around bestbuy until i saw speacil version of this 2 disk set tin case edition i like special edition dvds even if they are tin case versions i would have bought it record theater as plan but since it was a bestbuy special edition i got it there sorry record theeater.
one thing that really impressed me about this dvd was Kevin Conroy playing batman/bruce wayne which whoever is fan of batman animated series is he was in batman animated series, justice league, batman beyond, some appearnces in superman animated series, and (static shock animated series- which by the way im still waiting on the release of the aniamted series complete box set of the show itself if it happens & the zeta project).
anyway its great everything expected and more and of course i would expect to see the batman dark knight costumes in differnt vareyations to differnt forms depending on the artist but what i liked the most was the batman costume in the crossfire episode, & the art style in the basic traning episode glad in some episodes they showed the batmobile in some episodes which was great by the way.
i liked most of all if they where was a batman 3 some of the ideas could possibly make it in the third film like the batmobile upgraded look somewhat longer sleeker batwings on the backside of the car and deadshot if he was to be introduced into the batman film his costuem could be simaler to what he wore in this dvd.
one thing i noticed at the end of the movie was how some of teh episodes where tied in togeather when batman left holding guns in his arms & then the deadshot episode they showed why batman was digging for teh guns and holing them at the end which was great by the way all i could think of that batman was didgin for the guns where he didnt want nobody to find them & use but the deashot episode surprised me when bruce wayne explained why he took them in the first place.
Rating: - Good movie
I thought this was a good buy. I liked some of the segments better than the others, but I found this overall very enjoyable. Much like the Animatrix, you will see different styles, but I think any Batman fan will find at least 1 or 2 segments they like. I picked up the steelbook version and I recommend it. It was available at Best Buy but has since sold out at most locations.
