Son of Batman is the next DC animated movie following Justice League: War. It is based upon Grant Morrison's comic book storyarc called Batman & Son which introduced Damian Wayne, the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul.

So DC is shoehorning Deathstroke into this. He wasn't involved in the original story at all. I guess now that Arrow has made him so popular, DC wants to use him in everything.

The meeting of Bruce and Damian seems lame in this animated adaptation. The "Father, I imagined you taller" scene from the comics was much better than this behind the curtain reveal.

I also don't particularly care for Damian's voice acting. He doesn't seem to him nearly as much attitude in this adaptation compared to the comics.

Hopefully it still turns out good. It would be nice to see Grant Morrison's entire Batman run adapted to animation.

I'll pick this up but I wasn't a huge fan of the Morrison run. I thought the whole RIP storyline was kind of a mixed bag personally. The best stuff to come out of it was the stuff from the Batman & Robin title with Dick as Batman and Damian as Robin in my opinion.

taffer

I do agree with that. The Dick/Damian dynamic duo was awesome. I wish it had lasted longer.

I know he's a kid, but Damian's voice grated on me that entire preview. a whole movie of that? ugh.

OldBoy

thought it looked pretty decent.

Maxflier

Is it just me or does the dude voicing Deathstroke sound a lot like Kevin Conroy?

RocShemp

It's Thomas Gibson.

Can't wait. I've always been a big fan of Damien.

taffer

If you're such a big fan, you would know his name is Damian, not Damien.

Sorry for the nitpick, but it just bothers me when people spell it wrong, kind of like when people write rouge instead of rogue.

Solid Snake

Minor error to bitch for. Meh.

I am interested for this though. I'm game to see Deathstroke kicking ass.

fumanstan

I have the comic and enjoyed it more then I expected, since the idea of a kid showing up sounded terrible to me. I like Damien too.

taffer

I read several comic message boards, and its common to see Damian misspelled as Damien. It just really bothers me for whatever reason. You would think people reading the comics would actually notice how its spelled.

I hope Deathstroke gets his ass kicked by Damian.

Giantrobo

Fair enough. In my defense...between Damien, Tolia, Raz Ahl Gool, and Brooss Wain the Bat-Man universe has lotsa interesting names that are easily misspelled.

taffer

Technically, Bat-Man isn't a misspelling since that's how Finger and Kane originally wrote it.

Giantrobo

OCD must suck....

I don't know if I really dug the art style or the voices in this one. I'm a horror for these movies though. Even though I haven't watched one in years I still buy the BB exclusives with the figure.

I'm down for this one

Why So Blu?

Saw this tonight and it was LEGIT!!!!!!!!

They pushed the violence to the extreme sort of like Flashpoint Paradox did. I think this one still retained the PG-13 rating like the other one did. Barely.
