DCU: Son of Batman | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Serving more as a decent introduction to a new character to the Batman mythos than a fully developed adaptation of the Grant Morrison storyline, 'Son of Batman' is entertaining, but hardly essential viewing for DC animated movie fans.

Son of Batman is not Batman and Son. It's a pig wrapped in a silk cape and cowl.

Son of Batman has an engrossing take on the Dark Knight. Oftentimes, adding a kid to the mix is a sign of desperation, but in this case it allows for some further examination of the character.

Son of Batman, the 20th DC Universe Animated Original Movie, makes considerable alterations to the original Grant Morrison comic book tale, but still delivers plenty of entertainment value for Bat-fans.

As adept as the animation unit usually is at bringing the tone of the comics to the screen, at times this feels like a sitcom premise.
