Overview: Batman learns he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son, secretly raised by the terrorist group the League of Assassins.

Blu ray Verdict: Well, getting right down to the nitty gritty of the situation here, it seems Batman got drugged one night and did the nasty with Talia al Ghul who had a son Damian. Damian is a fighter and intellect like Batman. Damian wants to avenge the death of his grandfather Ra's al Ghul who was killed by Death Stroke. Damian has untempered anger which Batman attempts to control. Meanwhile Death Stroke has a scientist making mutants for him.

That about sums that up then! But, as much as this could have been a mess, positive word of mouth has shot this 'Son Of Batman' film high up people's Must Have Lists this summer!

That said, and laying all the reviewing cards out on the table, if you have unrealistic expectations, like expecting there to be a deep plot and lengthy character development sequences you will be disappointed. You'd be disappointed in any animated movie as that is not what you get with this kind of material. What you get is pure popcorn entertainment true to the DC Universe and that is what you get. Nothing more nothing less.

Which, here is actually ok! I mean, in MHO as far as the movie itself, I enjoyed watching it. I thought it was as great as some of the other Batman animated movies or DC animated movies. I really hope they continue with this story arc for future Batman animated movies, and continue to show a growing relationship between father and son, Batman and Robin.
