Featured reviews
A nice adaptation of the comic and surprisingly R rated yet no too adults only either. A simple Victorian-era serial killer mystery featuring Jack the Ripper referencing Sherlock Holmes and Houdini. The problem for me with these films is that the immense possibilities that are not exploited. There can be simple editing techniques that can be easily used in here which would have been made this way better.
Great serious story, wow they didn't make animation this hardcore in the 90's
It gets gory and eerie at times which is really what a Batman movie should be.
It has a fantastic classic Batman story.
Great els-world favourite characters.
Batman's fighting choreography is fantastic and this is a cartoon lol!
Animation looks dull in places that don't matter and thats fine and is made up by focusing on the main features, and that looks great, well executed action.
Classic Gotham feel that is right at home! (got to have a blimp!)
Lots of nods and easter eggs to previous Batman animations, comics. (Mask of the Phantasm, Robins, Two Face, Sherlock Holmes's Dancing Men story (which I really appreciated, I f-ing love Jeremy Brett and Sherlock stories), Death in the family, the weird Scott Snyder comic about James Gordan's messed up son, Dark Knight Bat pod, Black Mask...these were the ones I noticed.
Overall really good ELS-WORLD Batman story!

As a stand alone movie, this is a fun ride. It is beautiful, chock full of Easter Eggs, actual historical references, and has a good pace.
Unfortunately, they chose to make some rather bizarre changes to the original story that I just can't quite stomach.
If they hadn't messed with such pertinent aspects of the story, this would have gotten close to a ten. It is metal, truly R and that makes it very awesome.
But, if you are a fan of the original source materials, be prepared to walk away a bit disappointed.
I enjoyed this animated movie it was a lot darker than usual batman stuff the fight choreography was pretty good and it had good cinematography an interesting story to boot i enjoyed the twist at the end.
Watch this if you like batman and have an hour to waste 7.5 / 10.0

How much you like this film will definitely depend on how much you are into the Victorian/Steampunk aesthetic, as well as the murder mystery genre in general. There is definitely nothing bad to report about this movie, it is a decent little crime noir set in the early 1900s.
If there is a problem it is that it has no connection to the greater Batman/DC animated universe and could easily not be a Batman film at all, since outside of the character names themselves there is little to link the two. Batman only vaguely 'Batmans' outside of some grappling-hook action and minor detecting. It is certainly not one for those who like outlandish superhero action.
Overall if you see this as a short murder mystery there is little to be disappointed by here, and if you crave a more down-to-earth Batman then this will be great for you. In my opinion you might as well just watch something like Zorro or Lone Ranger, or any other masked vigilante that Batman was based on as for me its 'back to basics' tone is just a little too basic, but it is certainly a matter of personal opinion in this regard.
