Batman Assault on Arkham Review

Continuing the DC animated movie reviews, the next movie I watched was Batman Assault on Arkham.
Batman Assault on Arkham Review-

Pros-

Opening Sequence- The opening sequence with Riddler, Waller and Batman was amazing. Especially with Waller pinpointing Nygma's location and Batman's fight sequence.

Introduction of the Squad- The various introductions of the different characters of the squad, were awesome. Especially King Shark and Harley's

Amanda Waller

Amanda Waller- Amanda Waller is one badass lady. She was gold to watch.She has made various super-villains be scared of her. Loved how casual she was with killing KGbeast. Her conversations with both Deadshot and Batman were awesome.


King Shark and Killer Frost- I'll admit, King Shark and Killer Frost are not particularly my favorite characters, but their interactions were hilarious to watch.


The whole squad- The whole squad was definitely on point, there weren't too many unnecessary characters like in the live action movie, Harley's costume looked amazing. And their conversations were gold.

Riddler
Riddler- Even though, he doesn't have many scenes, Riddler was a gem to watch. He steals the scenes he's in. I absolutely loved the fact, that the movie showcased his intelligence, with him rightly guessing that Batman exchanged himself with Black Spider.


Appearances of other rouges- Scarecrow,Bane,Two Face, Penguin and Poison Ivy were amazing in their short appearances.

Batman

Batman- Batman as usual was a joy to watch. I love the fact that Batman is shown as a the awesome detective he is in this movie, especially exchanging himself with Black Spider and memorizing the guards shift at Arkham.

Cons-

Deadshot outwitting Joker- Look, I really like Deadshot but I really didn't like the scene where he outwits the Joker. Joker is undoubtedly the most unpredictable character of the DC universe. This makes him look rather stupid and predictable.
 
The last quarter of the movie-  One issue with this movie that I had was with the quarter of the movie. It had too much going on with the Arkham breakout, Joker-Deadshot fight and Harley-Batman fight.

Nevertheless it was a solid watch. I thought that it was a rather enjoyable movie.
I really wish they make a live action version of this movie, maybe as the Suicide Squad sequel.

Definitely a 4 out of 5 stars.

Do share your thoughts in the comments, I am reviewing Justice League Crisis on Two Earths next.
