Good movie, just like what I've come to expect from DC animation. Google is a bunch of idiots for still not fixing the trailor. Dozens of websites have uploaded the right trailor on Youtube, yet idiots at google can't even link to the right.one. instead they troll with a fake trailor. Would rather just buy this on blue ray then support people who don't want to do their jobs.

Movie is pretty dark and bloody, almost has you wondering if batman is killing people. Not really my style of batman and story was kinda uninteresting. Wrong trailer also.

Great adaptation. The brutality and use of blood should be noted when renting for children. I enjoyed the voice of robocop as batman, along with a lot of poking fun at government, liberals and aged hippies.
