What did you guys think of Mystery of The Batwoman?

[The New Blueguy]

I just finished watching this movie and I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as Phantasm or Red Hood, but I really enjoyed it.

How are people seeing Red Hood? Did it come out earlier in different areas?

But to be on topic, I love Mystery of the Batwoman. Its nowhere near as good as Return of the Joker or Sub-Zero or Mask of the Phantasm, but its still a pretty decent animated movie. I loved how you really don't know who was Batwoman until towards the end.

I also loved Bane in this, he didn't have a very good run on the new series so seeing him again was kool. Although I much prefer to see Bane do his own thing for once instead of acting as hired help. But oh well...

A lot of places break street date on DVDs and Blu rays mainly because no one notices anymore.

Abour Bane, yeah that's always bugged me. Even when Bruce Timm and Paul Dini admitted that Bane gets a bad rap in the DCU as just muscle he still never did much in TAS. And then on The Batman again he was just more muscle. It's like TV execs are so narrow minded they can't entertain the thought of someone being extrenely strong and intelligent, both of which applies to Bane.

I really enjoyed BMOBW but it was missing a vital character *cough* Nightwing *cough* :)

What I didn't like was the relationship between Barbara and Bruce they were hinting at. What was that about! (wrong, just... Wrong).

But what I did like was they way the plot kept you guessing, similar to that of BMOP. Something UTRH missed out on...

BMOBW really had me hyped up that they were possibly going to release a new series of TNBTAS or at lease a few move direct to DVD movies, such a shame they didn't as I well and truly feel BTAS is over now, which is sad :(

You do know that Bruce and Barbara dated in the comics some time after Dick left right? She ended up siding with Bruce in their fall out although her and Dick had broken up long before then. So the hinting isn't all that wrong. It certainly didn't come out of nowhere. They actually reference this in Return of the Joker actually.

It's a great movie, but it could have used more Batwomen.

Really! I did not know that! In what comic/ issues?

[The New Blueguy]

I've never actually read the comics themselves but it's there. And I've heard it so many times that I'm pretty sure Bruce Timm and Paul Dini wouldn't make such a big change but I'd love to know too because I'd surely go back and read them.

I don't mean to sound harsh by saying this, but I thought it was probably the weakest of the DCAU Batman films. That doesn't mean it's bad, not at all, it's just I thought the others were better, in this order;

4. Mystery of the Batwoman
3. SubZero
2. Return of the Joker
1. Mask of the Phantasm

They're all very good, it's just some things are kind of better than others in terms of different portions. MOTP surprised and touched me the most, among other things, and the only animated Batman film that can stand up to it so far IMO is Red Hood. I'd say they're about tied as far as how good they are, similar yet different, one would have to watch them both to be able to compare.

However I do agree that MOTB did the best job at making the "who is it?" mystery hardest to guess; Red Hood definitely could have taken cues from that, but I have a feeling that would have unnecessarily stretched it out a bit. I really thought the chemistry between Kathy Duquesne and Bruce Wayne was kind of charmingly funny, and other things about her character. If there is anything that MOTB is the best at compared to the other films, it would probably be action, but that would be it. However it was nice to see Rupert Thorne again after being excluded from TNBA. Still a good movie and worth watching.
