I'm not sure who this movie is aimed at. Teens? Maybe, however, it's a bit too gory for the younger audience. Young adults? It's been a while since I've been one of those, so possibly. Fans of animation ? DC Fans ? Hell, no.
This movie has all the issues of a modern female driven agenda with none of the fun, excitement, glitz or glamour, and certainly none of the charm that it should bring.
What we do get, is some good animation, with a passable voice acting, and one of the poorest plots to come out of the minds of the DC Universe.
Catwoman (Selina Kyle) is caught stealing a jewel by Batwoman, because... And of course, Batwoman gives Catwoman the option to help them take down a crime syndicate, because... There are really bad car chase sequences, even worse fight scenes, some of Batman's enemies are thrown in for good measure, which of course, both Batwoman and Catwoman manage to dispatch with relative ease. And, then there are the usual trope of evil white men (thanks Harvey) for the women to beat up. And lets not forget the female to female sexual tension and innuendo. Gotta be inclusive to make that 3% feel good.
The story line is contrived and simple. The animation is good, the 'physics' is horrible, with both Batwoman and Catwoman doing things that just aren't possible. And yes, I'm well aware this is animation, but at least don't have people defy gravity.
All in all, it's a movie that doesn't know who it's meant to be aimed at, and wanders and meanders through a muddled simple plot.
4 for the animation, 0 for the plot.
