That felt like a bit of a bait-and-switch.

I mean, it's not Batman. It does the tropes, but it's not Batman. Batman Ninja was Batman sent to feudal Japan. But it was still Batman. Batman: Gotham By Gaslight and Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham were both set in different time periods. But they're still Batman. This is not Batman.

Is it any good anyways?

I didn't much like it. It dealt with too many superstitious characters and their stupid reactions to things. That might even be okay if the message is that shit is actually nonsense, but the film does its fair share of feeding into that nonsense itself. The moral isn't "Superstitions are for fools." It's "They were obviously worshiping the wrong Gods." Don't dig the latter message.

I will say this. I like the animation style. It felt clean. Not enough DC cartoons look and feel as clean as this did.

But all in all, I was disappointed. And considering how long the movie took to make I don't think I should have been. 2 1/2 stars.
