Batman: Assault on Arkham Review

The new animated DC comics release Batman: Assault on Arkham is latest release which is set in the Videogame universe of Arkham Asylum after the game Arkham Origins. However the film focuses not on Batman himself but on the "Suicide Squad". A small governmental task force of supervillains including: Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, whose skills are utilised to the dirty work of the government. After  recent disappointments of Son of Batman and Justice Leage: War, this is a triumphan return to form. Some spoilers to follow.

Son of Batman Review

The new Dynamic Duo

Son of Batman is the latest in DC Comics animation following on from the last two releases about the Justice League (War and Flashpoint Paradox). It is released as a part of the celebrations for 75 Years of Batman, and is the first release preceding Assault on Arkham later this year. It is a mixed release with some good animation but an ultimately hollow experience for fans of the original story by Grant Morrison and of Batman and Damian. Some story spoilers to follow.

Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox Review

The new DC comics animated film release is based off the comic event Flashpoint written by Geoff Johns. This event has been controversial due to it being used as a platform for DC to partially reboot all their comics to make it easier for new fans to jump on. I won't address this and focus on the DVD release. Some mild spoilers to the plot to follow.
