Batman vs. Robin (2015)

Batman vs. Robin. Don't let the terrible title fool you. It's among the best of DC's direct-to-video Animated films. It isn’t really about Bruce Wayne / Batman (Jason O'Mara) going toe-to-toe with his son Damian/Robin (Stuart Allan). A much better title would've been “Batman and the Court of Owls” but let's dig into the review proper.

A sequel to the 2014 Son of Batman, the story begins with the dynamic duo at odds. Damian was raised to be an assassin, Batman is trying to convince him to use nonlethal force. Their relationship is further strained when it becomes clear that Batman does not trust his son. When Talon (Jeremy Sisto), the chief assassin of the mysterious Court of Owls, extends a hand to Damian and immediately relates to the boy, the temptation may be too much.

This sequel is even better than the first. The relationship between the father and son provides drama to compliment the action provided by the terrific villain. Much of this interesting dynamic comes from Damian Wayne, a terrific addition to the Bat Family. Firstly, we have the strained relationship between Batman and Robin. Bruce Wayne grew up without a father, and wants to be there for his son. We want to see them working as a team - they��d be unstoppable together. Unfortunately, things are understandably complicated between them. Batman doesn’t trust his son not to kill. Damian resents his father for not believing in him. They’re both being jerks by not setting aside their feelings and reaching out to the other but you can see why they act the way they do.

The relationships make the characters feel fuller than you'd expect. Alfred (David McCallum) and Damian relate to each other differently than Batman and his butler do. As Bruce's first "son", Nightwing (Sean Maher) also relates to them differently than anyone else. The story's inevitable conclusion is a given - most genres have a formula we come back to because that's what we want to see - but these relationships keep you guessing. The players do not feel as though they're at the story's mercy. They move within it at their own pace.

It’s all nice that we have these heroes with emotions. We'll care for them when put in jeopardy and rejoice when they triumph. But what about the antagonist? Talon is compelling but the one who struck me immediately is an incredibly creepy serial killer the crimefighters encounter at the beginning of the film. In any other film, the character voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovich (that's right) would be the main villain. He’s got a great look, a cool backstory and is pure nightmare fuel but he's just a sidebar. Talon's the star, a baddie that is destined to endure and become a new favorite among comic book fans.

When stories who haven't yet proved their worth by remaining popular years after they've ended are chosen by Warner Bros. Animation as the subject of their next project, I become apprehensive. Are these stories REALLY worth highlighting, or are they just pushing the new hotness? In this case, they've recognized a story full of rich characters and intrigue. You'll need to watch the other films in the series to fully grasp how great it is but they don't run long and if this is the one you're building up to, it's well worth the effort.

#flashbackfriday to meeting @robinatkindownes at #mcmmanchester2018 who I know best for playing Lara Croft’s mentor, Conrad Roth in #tombraider2013 . It was fairly quiet and we had a great chat. He and his wife are both lovely people and wouldn’t take money for the prints. It was one of the highlights of my year. 😊🏹 #laracroft #conradroth #tombraider #tombraiderreboot #tombraiderreborn #tombraiderdefinitiveedition (at Manchester Central Convention Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2WiLUojU_v/?igshid=1fb7oos0yfcnx

Superman vs. The Elite (2012)

Superman vs. the Elite is the beginning of an important conversation while also failing to capture the impact of its source material. It could've been great. Instead, it's just ok, which almost makes it worse than bad because you can so easily see how it could be improved.

The world is embracing a new group of violent superbeings called “The Elite”. Manchester Black (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes), Coldcast (Catero Colbert), Menagerie (Melissa Disney), and The Hat (Andrew Kishino) have no qualms about killing and are even pro-active when dealing with threats - eliminating those they "know" will cause trouble before they have time to act. Their ideals put them at odds with Superman (voiced by George Newbern).

To understand why Superman vs. the Elite doesn't quite work, you have to understand the source material. The film is based on the 2001 comic What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?, written by Joe Kelly, penciled by Doug Mahnke and Lee Bermejo. It's a single issue that generally, follows the same plot as this 76-minute picture. The first noticeable difference is the art style. While this story is set in a fantasy world, the moral dilemma it presents is grounded. By choosing more cartoon-like designs, the impact of its violence - and therefore its message - is diminished.

The voice acting is good, particularly George Newbern, Rivub Atkin Downes, and Pauley Perrette (who voices Lois Lane). The scenes between Superman/Clark Kent and Lane are strong. They are necessary quiet moments that add to the moral dilemmas being explored. Unfortunately, The bulk of the side characters, including Menagerie, The Hat, and Cold Cast don’t get much character development.

What this movie is really about is the moral dilemma that is the death penalty, black & white mentality, and idealism. My 11-year-old nephew's favorite comic book characters are Red Hood and Deathstroke - both gun-wielding, remorseless killers. Why does he like them? Because their stories are more “Adult”. Of course, they are. People die in those stories. People die in real life, and you don’t see murder in little children’s cartoons, so obviously, Superman - who doesn’t kill - must be more childish than Deathstroke. I disagree. In our world and in Superman’s there are bad people, some of which are irredeemable. Those individuals need to be punished for the evils they commit. Isn’t it easy to say that bad people should just be killed? Someone hurts you. You’re angry towards them. You want them to pay. What could be more satisfying than the most permanent of punishments, death?

Superman vs. the Elite raises a lot of points regarding this complicated question. It talks about heroes and true justice. The talk is dressed up in a cape, contains super beings that can move things with their minds, and giant insect tanks but the arguments are no less valid or relevant. Merely watching this movie isn’t enough. You’re going to want to look at the special features, read the story it’s based on and discuss it with the people in the room. This makes the ending (changed from the source material) a cheat that doesn't quite work. Still, it's mostly there and this makes it worth a watch.

When you see Superman vs. the Elite, set aside a generous amount of time so you can immerse yourself in the ideas presented. Or just read the book this is based on. This movie could've been great. It isn't. For this reason, Superman vs. the Elite will appeal more to casual comic book readers than hard-core fans of the Man of Steel because they won't already be sold on the character.

Roth's alive! 😜 Wonderful surprise meeting with @robinatkindownes (here with his wife and daugher) at #mcmmanchestercomiccon yesterday who I know for playing Lara Croft's mentor, Conrad Roth in the 2013 rebooted Tomb Raider game. He asked what I was into, I said Tomb Raider and this is what happened next... Robin (in his Roth voice): Ah, Conrad Roth! You're a Croft, Lara. *notices my Lara holster*...and that's the gun I taught you to use, eh? He signed a print and wouldn't take the money I offered him. Not only did he give me two prints but he gave up his time to chat to us for free! They are such a lovely couple and I'm so grateful for this experience. #laracroft #tombraider #tombraider2013 #tombraiderreboot #tombraiderreborn #tombraiderdefinitiveedition #conradroth #nathandrake #uncharted #femalenathandrake #femalenathandrakecosplay #cosplay (at Manchester Central Convention Complex)
