  Deprives humanity of its value and ruins anything good that Japanese animation ever did for the world. Painful to watch.

  Some ask "why review something you don't like". The answer is: as a warning. There are plenty of things I dislike in anime. This one movie however is the only thing in the world I can think of that genuinely has absolutely no value to it. It is appalling. When I say this movie is worthless I genuinely mean that. I don't know how anyone involved in its production can be satisfied with themselves at all. Genuinely one of the top ten worst experiences of my life which is a feat in and of itself. This is an insult to batman fans. A disgrace to anime. And an abomination to the human race. I'm genuinely ashamed to be a part of the same species that created this and I feel like every time I am reminded of its existence that my day is ruined and my life worsens as a whole. Do not watch this garbage. There is nothing to gain from doing so. No comedic value in the "so bad it's good" kind of way. No fanservice in any sense of the word. Nothing. Everything this movie has to offer is simply a waste of time.

  I regret ever having watched it. I would love to get to the review where I state everything bad about it but I want to say something good first and that is a seemingly impossible task. Imagine in your head for a moment something truly awful you remember experiencing. Be it some food that made you throw up, an extremely bad video game you spent 60+ dollars on. Just anything that you can think of that was pure regret from the moment it happened. That is this movie except it's stretched out to fill the length of a film. It is a genuinely horrid experience in which you witness some of the worst art style and animation I have ever seen coupled with voice over-acting with a lousy script that has a TERRIBLE plot and no substance whatsoever. I would've rather watched an hour and a half long commercial for batman toys than watch this because at least in the hypothetical commercial the goal would be to sell me something thereby giving it purpose. Here it is as if they didn't even try to do anything even remotely interesting with the characters they were given. As a long time batman fan I have read and seen countless stories that not only managed to make me think harder about the character and life in general but also feel for fictional characters. This film did the opposite, it is devoid of feeling and made me think my emotions were being drained by a black hole that left nothing but an empty husk that only knew surviving and not living.

  I cannot imagine why or how the people that made this managed to fuck up a concept like samurai batman this badly but they did. All they had to do was copy the batman Manga verbatim and that would have been lazy but at least it would've been hundreds of thousands of times more enjoyable than this.

  Stay away from this unless you'd like to torture someone by having them watch it on loop.

  P.S. it didn't let me give it a 0. This shit is absolutely worthless which to me warrants a 0. The only 0 I'd ever give is this. Due to the nature of the site I am forced to give it a 1.

  A creative, over-the-top experience: where style and madness collide

  I actually liked it, to be honest. The film really embraces creative freedom, and I appreciate that. It’s packed with a bunch of "what if" ideas. However, I should warn you: the plot isn’t as intricate as you might expect from Nolan’s films. Comparing it to those is a bit off the mark. A more fitting comparison would be Michael Bay’s movies—big, dynamic, and overflowing with creativity and style. The film features panoramic shots, dynamic sequences, and an over-the-top script that flows with aesthetic flair.

  

  I particularly enjoyed the scene where Red Hood confronts the farmer Joker. The kaleidoscope of colors and abstract sketches here takes a more avant-garde approach. The film has the traditional Japanese art form, like ukiyo-e (woodblock prints) and calligraphy. The color palette is very rich and varied, with striking contrasts that highlight film's dramatic moments. One of the most artistic sequences is the "ink wash" scene, where the animation shifts to resemble sumi-e which is an ink painting style. The use of flowing brush strokes creates a dreamlike, almost meditative atmosphere.

  This film thrives on its absurdity, taking all the familiar elements and twisting them into something completely unexpected. It’s a film where anything can happen, and often does, with a gleeful disregard for conventional storytelling logic. The depiction of Joker and his allies building giant mecha castles—fortresses that transform into massive robots—is the height of its absurdity. A cheeky nod to the Megazord combine from Power Rangers SPD, just to add a layer of nostalgic fun. The fusion of feudal Japanese elements with futuristic, sci-fi concepts is both bizarre and fun to watch. The final battle, where these giant mecha converge in an all-out brawl, is as ridiculous as this film is visually stunning.

  There is this fun moment where Batman’s Batmobile transforms through various forms—a Batcycle, a Batplane, and finally, a Bat-armored suit—before being destroyed, leaving Batman without his powers that is his tech. Then there is one scene where he tries to use his grappling gun upwards, only to realize there are no buildings. It’s a playful sarcastic nod to technology and Batman’s essence as a character. The film has a sense of humor. Take, for example, the scene where Harley is explaining Batman's break-in to the Joker—it's funny to watch her assistant frantically unrolling the scroll as fast as possible to keep up with her.(look at the finger animation)

  

  I would be fooling myself if I expected anything too complex from this film. Right from the start, it says: ‘Don’t take me seriously.’ Just look at Bruce’s haircut—it is practically shouting that message.

  
  The film is best enjoyed as a popcorn flick, even more with friends, laughing at its absurdities. It might not offer a good story, but it certainly presents a bold, stylized animation and a creative take on the Batman mythos.

  Verdict: Passable as an entertainer, with most of the points coming from its artistic aspects.
