This film unlike the other DCEU films had good effects (animation I guess) and great voice acting with the story actually taking front step and not being a back burner. The characters actually had clear motivation that was able to be found just by looking quickly at the film and the contents of the film. I also liked how there was no real moments of shove down your throat fan service and the only thing that mattered was actually just telling the story and developing things. Plus the final ten minutes were stellar.

Love animation and have really enjoyed to loved many superhero films, animated and live-action. Part of me was a little nervous though, despite my love for Batman and all these villains 'Suicide Squad' did not work for me at all.Thankfully, count me in as another person who found 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' a vastly superior film, am aware it came out earlier than 'Suicide Squad' but saw this much later. Will also go as far to say that it is closer to being one of the best of the DC animated films (some good to great ones but also some average or less ones) than in the weaker end. Despite how my review title sounds, seeing as one does not usually associate the word assault as a good word, it is an assault on the senses in a good way. Would have liked to seen more of Batman, though understand why he was not the main focus as it was always clear to me that 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' was more about the villains. Also would have preferred a longer length of about 10-15 minutes more.An hour and a quarter with a lot of characters and a lot going on is too short a length, though actually the film overcomes the potential issues of hastiness and bloating and tells the story extremely well and excels in making the villains interesting to true to their iconic personalities. With the film being longer, it would have made the big reveal a little more believable and cooked all the way through.Other than these, 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' can't be faulted everywhere else. The animation is great, it's highly atmospheric, very colourful, meticulous and remarkably rich in its background detail and beautifully drawn with smoothness and like a lot of care went into the character designs. The music had both intensity and energy, done in a way that was haunting and rousing.'Batman: Assault on Arkham' is very well written. The more humorous moments and one-liners are smarter than those of most DC animated films, and then there is an intelligent maturity and dark grit in other places without it feeling muddled or disjointed tonally. Was also surprised at how racy some of it was for a DC animated film, bold move. The storytelling is hugely compelling, emotionally involving and paced beautifully complete, with action full of adrenaline rush thrills.Characters are also very strongly characterised. While Batman is true to character, 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' manages the not always easy task of allowing the viewer to root for the villains or find them more interesting. Joker and Harley Quinn are especially impressively written and steal the show.Voice acting is spot on, particularly Kevin Conroy's definitive Batman and Troy Baker's Joker (evoking fond memories of Mark Hamill's peerless interpretation, reminding one of him actually, without being an imitation).All in all, very good indeed. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I'm not very familiarized with the Batman Arkham video game series, but I certainly liked this movie very much!Something that highlights this this movie from the other animated Batman films is that the story is told from the point of view of the villains in contrary to the others. This made the film more interesting because we get to know them better.The animation was excellent (especially Batman and Harley Quinn) as well as the brilliant score from Robert J Kral. Although this movie was somewhat an animated version of Suicide Squad, Assault on Arkham is a lot more violent and has more sexual content than Suicide Squad, even tough it is animated. Definitely not for very young children, unless they're mature enough to handle it.Overall, definitely worth to watch if you wish to know more about the members of the suicide squad and even if you don't like animated superhero movies, believe me...this one will really surprised you.Thank you for reading! I hope it helped you.

I really didn't think that there ever was a Suicide Squad based film before until I've just seen this moments ago. I cannot wait for the real life movie coming out in Summer this year. It's gonna be so exciting to see Will Smith and Margot Robbie acting together again! Anyways let's talk about this film at this moment! I really liked the story in this, it was easy to understand what's happening among themselves and Batman. There has been lots of changes between the superheroes and super villains. Even though I thought Harley Quin acted like herself but with her outfit being skimpy and her personality really changing a lot. She was like being crazy to sexy, she probably stole Catwoman ' s attitude and probably made her costume into Halle Berry's Catwoman costume. Even though it's a bit gory in this film, it's still good! Well done DC!
