Featured reviews
Merry Little Batman is a perfect blend between kid and adult animated film. When it starts to pick up the pace, the movie becomes almost non-stop and a terrifically action-paced Christmas adventure. The animation style grows on you, and by the end of the movie, it is hard not to adore it because of its reminiscent older cartoons and influence from other Batman adaptations in the past. The last twenty minutes lose the energy a bit, but it's indeed a warm and cozy animation. For Batman fans like myself who understand the world and its characters, this was a joy to watch. Merry Little Christmas 🎄
Merry Little Batman puts our hero in the backseat as Damian Wayne gets his chance to shine in this colorful holiday hero flick. Looking as if it were ripped from a Sunday morning newspaper comic, the animation throughout the film gives a childish whimsy and added it's own charm to Gotham. While it looks quite cute, the story feels repetitive and annoying as Damian embarks on his own Home Alone-esque adventure. The beginning of Damians solo adventure has the most fun, but once they leave the manor, it starts to drag in parts and become a bit boring. Most of the voice work is entertaining, but some of them did not fit the designs of the character, leaving some of them feeling a bit disconnected at times. Unfortunately, Merry Little Batman may fall into obscurity in the coming years, as a rewatch is not in my cards.
This is exactly what would happen if Batman were a Cartoon Network production rather than a DC production.
The fact that the project was handed over to Mike Roth really added a different style to the animation.
Mike Roth is a name who has previously written and drawn works such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Regular Show.
It was a logical decision to include experienced names such as James Cromwell and Luke Wilson in the dubbing cast.
They entrusted the character of Damien Wayne to Yonas Kibreab, who has experience beyond his years.
As a Batman collector myself, I am very satisfied. Of course, when it comes to Batman, everyone has very high expectations.

It's actually good. I mean way better then I thought it was going to be
If you're expecting the typical bat story you'll be disappointed
It's not Adam West zap pow
It's not Tim Burton, Frank Miller, or something a true fan would pick up off the rack on Monday
It is the Kodachrome day dream you had after reading the latest issue when you were 8... with the Vandal and Kinks soundtrack you discovered later in life
Worth a watch for life long fans.and those that like comics because no matter how old you are you're still a kid that believes that when you grow up you could be the greatest superhero.
Watch it for Batman & Luke Wilson with some great actors from other well known shows and movies. If you are a Batman fan like myself you will love this quirky yet enjoyable and never before presentation of The Dark Knight.
Mike Roth's Merry Little Batman is a great cartoon for families. The art style is funny and reminds us of cartoons from Cartoon Network in the 2010s, like Regular Show. Damian Wayne, Batman's son, is usually shown in one way, but this movie changes that. It's really funny, and the voices, especially Luke Wilson as Batman, are excellent. It's a perfect cartoon for the holidays, with a good mix of heart and humor thanks to the writers Morgan Evans and Jase Ricci from Teen Titans Go!.
