Ive read alot of negative reviews about this movie, but I saw this movie at blockbuster and decided to give it a chance. glad i did. it was better than i thought it would be.
it was well written, entertaning, and fun.
the art is in the same stile as the 'new' batman adventures. but thats no big loss.
the story is still interesting and engaging.
the mystery is interesting.
allthough the answer to it is a bit like christie's murder on the orient express.
but still..good movie.
basicly there is a new crime fighter in town.
batwoman.
however she is a bit more ruff than batman.
batman trys to find out who she is. there are three possible suspects.
at the same time the criminals of Gotham are out to stop the batwoman at all costs.
batgirl makes a fleeting apperance in this movie.
and as a nodd to Batman Beyond she clearly has feelings for bruce.
bruce is doing his best to put her off though.
all in all this was a good movie.
so dont judge it to quickly your gonna turn down a good movie.

Mystery of the Batwoman is the third movie based on Batman: The Animated Series. To briefly surmise, there's a new Bat-person flying about Gotham & she's hitting the crime bosses where it hurts. Now, Batman has to figure out who she is & which side of the law she's on.
This film features the same quality animation as seen in The New Batman Adventures. The storyline is good & the voice acting, as always, is top notch. I will say that the mystery was not that difficult to unravel but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film. The new Batwoman character is loosely based on the DC Comics heroine. There are also some familiar faces, Robin (Tim Drake), Barbara Gordon (very briefly), the Penguin, & Bane.
The special features include some interesting commentaries & character bios. There's also a PC game, which I haven't tried, yet. Overall, I enjoyed this movie & recommend it for Batman fans. It's a nice addition to my collection. |

2003. You have one main story and three subplots and they are all going on at the same time. The movie starts with Batwoman blowing up a truck that is carrying firing arms and being smuggled in the process. Batman is curious about this new Batwoman and what her intentions are. We later find out that it is three women who are putting on the Batwomen costume and they are doing it for three different reasons. Dr. Roxanne "Rocky" Ballantine to free her boyfriend Kevin. Kevin was framed by Penguin; for reasons unknown. Detective Sonia Alcana wants revenge because Rupert Thorne's thugs burned down her parents store. Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne for the murder of her mom for which she blames her father: hit man Carlton Duquesne. The first real encounter between Batwoman, Batman, and Robin is at Penguin's factory where guns are being illegally made and shipped. Batwoman blows up the factory and escapes. This Batwoman has total disregard for human life. Bruce Wayne becomes romantically involves with Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne and believes she is Batwoman. However that theory is squashed when he and Kathy are at Penguin's club. Batwoman is there to find out who is the thug Penguin has hired. We find out that it is Bane. Bane is her to safeguard the shipping of the arms and capture Batwoman. The shipment of arms are being shipped out that evening and the three Batwomen decide to blow up the ship. Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne's Batwoman is capture by Bane. When she is unmasked her father is in a state of shock. Penguin threatens to poison Kathy if she does not tell who her partners are. When she refuses, Bane decides to kill her father. Just as when Kathy is about to talk, Batman comes to the rescue. Batman saves Kathy, but Kathy goes ahead a set the bomb to blow up the ship. The people have two minutes to get off the ship. In the end the women identities are revealed, Penguin and Rupert Thorne are capture, Bane is seen falling into a fire pit, Dr. Roxanne "Rocky" Ballantine frees her boyfriend, Detective Sonia Alcana is forced to quit the police force and Carlton Duquesne goes to jail. Bruce Wayne finally gets the girl, Kathy. This movie went to fast and was hard to keep up with and jumped around to much for me. Batman - Mystery of the Batwoman gets a B.

I have always liked Batman, and this story is a good one. The title threw me a bit - my mind read "Catwoman" for a long time until I really paid attention to the cover and read the summary on the back!
There is a Batwoman going around town , getting back at the bad guys who have done her wrong over the years, and Batman has to find out who she is. Not overly complicated but a good story. There is depth beyond my short description however, as there is more than one suspect, so adults won't pick it right away - it'll keep you going for a good while. Robin is of the Tim Drake era, but does not play a big role.
All the bat-gear is there, as you'd expect, and despite what some have said, I found the video clip enjoyable. It's animation to music , without voices, and just a little something extra, like a short story. The other extras are good also - some interviews with the voice-actors and the writers and producer. So what if it was developed quickly? Sometimes good ideas flow quite quickly, you shouldn't have to struggle and stress over something before it can be a good product.
Buy it, watch it, enjoy it. |

| Well, let's see. We have a compelling plot, witty dialogue, fantastic animation, gorgeous women, and plenty of action. Wow, pass the popcorn. Mystery of the Batwoman is just that, a mystery. Who is she, and why is she wreaking havoc on the Penguin, Rupert Thorne, and a new third player? Even Batman can't figure it out. There are certainly plenty of lovely ladies to choose from, and not in the usual way that his handsome alter ego may be accustomed to. Alan Burnett's intricate storyline is more of a whoisshe than a whodunit, with Penguin and Co. the ill fated individuals, more than Batman, who desperately want this perplexing problem quickly and permanently resolved. They even bring in Bane to help find a solution. This story has it all, with about the only area of criticism, and a fairly minor one at that, being with the voice acting. Paul Williams and Henry Silva are regrettably absent from their usual respective roles of Penguin and Bane, and their gifted and pleasurable presence is undoubtedly missed, but the rest of the movie is so remarkably strong that it clearly compensates for this one unfortunate misstep. When discussing any animated movie, even one such as this replete with interesting twists and turns at every juncture, in the final analysis it still primarily comes down to one thing. Was it fun? The answer to that is a resounding and thunderous yes, and praise all around to Alan Burnett, Michael Reaves, and the rest of the talented team of animators and creators for producing yet another stellar and supremely enjoyable Batman movie. P.S. The bonus Chase Me short, or for that matter all of the extras, are great also. |
