An interesting mix of a sequel to Morrison's run and The New 52. It's not a bad cartoon, but it's clear to me that orthodox readers won't be happy because too many changes have been made. However, for the rest of us, it's an interesting reminder of how important Talon and the Owls were. I read more Wonder Woman and Vulture stories from the comics, so I keep a closer eye on their cartoons. And if Damian is in the lead role, I would rather skip all his scenes, of course. I generally prefer more mature characters.

Nothing groundbreaking, just a classic in the genre. The animation is quite rough, sometimes really glaring, but on the other hand, it must be acknowledged that it's action-packed like crazy and there's always something happening. Comic book mythology tries to squeeze into a relatively short film here, which doesn't quite succeed, but it doesn't matter, as the primary focus is on the action anyway.
