This is a bit dark for a animated Batman movie and that is one of the reasons I like this movie. For the most part, it seemed to have the right blend of story and action. And even the action is integrated well into the story and for the most part does have a point when it comes to the plot. The relationship between Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne is well done as well. The internal aspect of it just seemed real. It has that bit of tug of war feel going for it. Where although they both respect and love each other they feel that they each need to go their own paths. Thus there is a bit of turmoil and clash between the two. Well just about every family is dysfunctional one way or another. At first I wasn't sure if this movie should have even been called "Batman vs. Robin" because there is just one fight scene between the two. However because of the other non-physical fights I think the title fits in well. Although I didn't feel that this was a super entertaining movie with that rush filled experience from beginning to end going for it. The pacing is done well and even compelling during certain scenes even if some parts doesn't make much sense and there does seem to be few plot holes. The voice acting is fine, although I thought the voice of Batman was pretty average like in the previous DC movies. The characters however just seemed believable and even relatable for a cartoon movie. Overall this is a pretty good animated DC movie that is worth a watch that has a good blend of "Batman and Son" comic book story and Snyder's Talon from the Court of Owls storyline. My main gripe is how Batman comes off pretty weak this time around, getting beaten is just about every fight. And yeah, the fight between him and his son might not really count.
