If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The Batman vs. Dracula came out just four months after Batman Begins and it received immediately mixed reviews by critics. I thing that they were comparing it with the feature film and that is wrong ,of course the feature film is going to be better (not always ,but usually) ,so it like putting a young boxer against John Sena, yea no ,he don't even stand a chance. But to the point is it good?At first this is a direct to video film of the Batman series of 2004, which follows Bruce Wayne in his first days as The Bat as his rogue gallery comes in to view and he must faces them. This was my third series with Batman (or fourth) after the Justice League and Batman Beyond. When I was young, I though that it was awesome and flawless, but nowadays I think that, though not perfect it still holds up and it is a good series. So the title said all Batman vs. Dracula, which starts when the Prince of Darkness is awaken and now the Dark Knight has to find out who to stop him. A simple ,but awesome premise.The animation is good, not to the level of Justice League ,but still good. As for the voice cast they do their best and I give them that. In short not to bad and it has some awesome fight scenes!As a animated film of the DC, it isn't from the best but is enjoyable and if you are a big fan of the Caped Crusader give it a watch, it will be fun, if you disliked it, no hard feelings.
Let me start off by saying that I've always been a huge fan of both batman and Dracula. I've seen pretty much all of the batman movies, TV shows, and played all the video games. I have read the Dracula novel, and have enjoyed watching many of the film adaption's. Since I've enjoyed batman through my entire life and have also been a horror movie fan, I was delighted to hear of this original idea of putting the two legendary bats in one movie. I must say although not the best batman nor the best Dracula movie it definitely did not disappoint.Gotham is as usual, full of villains and Bruce Wayne continues to struggle balancing his personal life with his duty as the batman. It's an ordinary night until suddenly Batman gets the call that the Joker and the Penguin have escaped from Arkham Asylum and the chase is on. Following the events of the night the trail of the Peguin has gone cold and he has strangely disappeared. As the nights continue to come and go, people mysteriously disappear without a trace, and all of a sudden a dark and grim man arrives and everything is not well as the man turns out to be the Batman's greatest challenge of them all, the one and only...the legendary...Dracula.The first thing I noticed about this was the originality and cleverness of placing these two famous bats in one movie in a really interesting storyline. we see how Bruce is having difficulty in finding time for his personal life as he never gets to spend anytime with his love interest Vickie Vale as every time he does get time he gets time with her duty calls. The best part of this story is how we see Batman be met with such a challenge, that even he thinks he can't over come, but he never gives up and continues to drive for the answer to the question on how to defeat the indestructible Dracula. One thing I found disappointing in the story was the lack of twists and turns, of course there was a few but not near as many as I had hoped for. The biggest let down I felt was the number of stand offs between Batman and Dracula, I was hoping for more but in the end the climax of the film really made up for it.The voice over cast did a wonderful job in this cartoon such as: Rino Romano as Bruce Wayne/The Batman, Peter Stormare as Dracula, Tara Strong as Vickie Vale, Tom Kenny as Peguin, Kevin Michael Richardson as the Joker, and Alastair Duncan as Alfred. Each actor does a great job as there character especially Kevin Michael Richardson as the Joker, I've always found he does and excellent job although not as good as Mark Hamill but he is not far off. I found myself mildly disappointed with Peter Stormare as Drcula it seems as though his accent keeps changing in different parts of the movie, given this he still does a good job but it could have been better. All other voice actors do and excellent job.I love the character designs in this cartoon, I'll always prefer the Batman: the animated series design but this one never disappoints me. I like the Dracula in this, although it mainly follows the original movie design it adds a new original spin on Draula as when he attacks his prey he seems to turn into a gargoyle looking creature which really looked cool in my opinion. My all time favourite design in this cartoon was the vampire Joker, the fangs, the more sinister looking eyes, the way he goes crazy over blood, everything about the vampire Joker really put the biggest smile on my face.When the movie came to an end I was not disappointed, although I seen many places for improvement, I seen many more things that made a good enjoyable movie. From the great storyline, originality, great voice over cast, and pretty good action sequences, this movie is fun and great for anyone who is a fan of Batman and Dracual. So make sure you rent or buy the Batman vs. Dracula.Overall rating: ******* out of ********** ***1/2 out of *****
I was pretty wary of this film due to the title alone. However, I read enough positive reviews by fans that I thought I'd check it out.I was right to be wary. This film, while as effective at some horror elements as it'll ever be in a kid-friendly animated movie, had a hokey concept. Dracula is actually buried in Gotham City. The Batman is likened to Dracula. The Penguin is Dracula's new Renfield.It's like fanfic; it may sound kinda cool at first, but when you see it played out, you discover it really isn't. Crossing Batman with a literary character is a ridiculous idea to begin with - not to mention a supernatural character like Dracula. Those characters in Batman's rogues gallery who are fantastical have some science behind how they are what they are. They try that approach here, but are inconsistent and the execution fails.Serious Batman fans should probably stay away. But if you don't really care about how good a movie is and just want some light entertainment, you might enjoy this. Either way, it certainly isn't among the best Batman animated films.
Non-fans despise this particular Batman show for being entirely in correct, but I like watching it....Its Batman...The prince of darkness has made his way to Gotham City and now the Batman must stop the legendary Vampire from turning the entire city into his minions. The film itself is corny writing but the show overall has a comic book type of look and the action sequences are done; the new Joker look is a little radical but it suits him.The introduction of Vicki Vale was brilliantly placed and reminded me of the Burton Batman. Overall the voice actors provide a satisfactory job, a good TV cartoon movie to watch when your bored...
