DVD Reviews of Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
DVD Review: Batman: The Animated Series = Bruce Timm + Paul Dini + Shirley Walker
Summary: 1 Stars
Yup, not to marginalize the other people who made the show great, but that's basically what it boils down to. When I saw none of these people in the opening credits, I was concerned. The people who did make this movie, however, confirmed my fears by making an extremely mediocre film, if not just plain sucky. I mean seriously, this wouldn't even have passed as an interesting episode of the tv show, let a lone a film.
In one of the extras, the director or someone says that he just wanted to make a "fun" film and that they finished the script in no time at all. Guess what, it shows. That is except for the fun part, but the lack of thought and vision part is definitely apparent. The plot is extremely cliched and stupid. Maybe if any of the 3 girls were interesting at all, it would've been passable. However, we ended up with an extremely annoying, rebeling daddy's girl who looks like a Hale Berry clone, a Renee Montoya clone, and some girl tied down to a jailed boyfriend. Yeah, why should I give a crap about any of these chicks? In the extras they said they didn't want to do something definitive with Batwoman, but I call it laziness and lack of effort. If Batwoman's secret identity was one good character it might have worked, but instead we get three worthless ones.
I was at least expecting some lesbian subtext to make things somewhat interesting after I heard the idea to bring Batwoman back as a character in the comic was sparked by this movie. However, any subtext in this film was extremely minimal if even existent. I did like the fact that they continued the Barbara/Bruce text, but it was only in one short scene. I guess having Batgirl and Batwoman in the same movie would be too much for some reason I can't comprehend.
The music to this movie isn't that great as everyone else said, especially compared to Shirley Walker's beyond amazing score. However, I disagree with everyone who said that the animation was good. It looked like low-budget, digitally colored, corny crap to me. Definitely no where even close to the amazing, noir-influced film making from the tv show. I was also a fan of Penguin's voice in the show, but here he's played by the Mad Hatter's voice actor instead. I don't know if Penguin's voice acotr died or that he was just busy, but Penguin just wasn't the same this way.
Oever all, I can't find much to like in this film. I did find the inclusion of fan-service including Batwoman's costume a nice gesture, but definitely not enough to save this film.
So yeah, only get this if you're a completest. If you're just starting to buy Batman for all means get the tv box-sets instead. Every episode is much more enjoyable than this half-baked movie.
