Merry Little Batman review
🕑 Added 2023-12-09 08:39:41 +0000 UTC
Merry Little Batman is decidedly on the lighter side of Batman media, in stark and perhaps welcome contrast to other DC animated films. The character designs are highly caricaturesque, ranging from Alfred looking like a The Thief and the Cobbler reject to Penguin only having three teeth to the one Ren and Stimpy-esque gross out close up.
Where the movie fails, in my opinion, is that it doesn't balance the childish moments with the more adult stuff. There are a few raunchy jokes sprinkled throught, and they feel pretty jarring when it's a typical "kid proves himself" narrative.
For a film set on Christimas the holiday itself almost feels like an afterthought, but I don't mind that much.
Overall, decent with a few problems.
