Batman: Assault of Arkham

[wyokid]

This had to have been one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen. Batman's in the movie for like ten minutes, all the women except for Amanda Waller (who is fat in this movie so put that as a check for positives) get naked, it feels like a really bad heist movie, the animation varies from bad to downright awful, there's no chemistry with the cast (it feels like they recorded their lines apart so they don't play off each other well at all. They wasted such a good cast), and the whole thing is just a violent oversexualized mess. DC used to have such good animated films and now it's the kid cartoon movies that the producer admitted he didn't even know how to make (he couldn't understand how to make Justice League kid friendly and then they told him to make it like the Green Lantern cartoon he worked on and he was like "oooohhh okay I get it now"). Anyone else watch this garbage?

Agreed. The over-sexualization of Harley and Killer Frost was lame. You hit all the relevant points so there isn't anything else to add.

The only positive aspect was I really liked Troy Baker as Joker (in this and Arkham Origins). I think he's a worthy successor to Mark Hamill who adds his own spin while not deviating drastically.

The movie sucked though. Very disappointing.

Haven't watched it yet. Was looking forward to it as a tie in to the greater Arkham-verse, but that sounds pretty bad. Hoping that there may be some redeeming qualities somewhere in it.

I'm confused does this actually fit the time-line? It seems joker + harley have too much history it follows on from origins and no deathstroke? wasn't he the main one of the squad squad featured?

it's still better than the marvel animated films "Hulk & Ironman" was crap but its not up to par with other dc ones

It takes place after Origins but before Arkham Asylum.

True maybe there was enough time. Though i still think deathstroke should have featured.

Assault on Arkham occurs three years after Origins and two years before Arkham Asylum.
