Fans of the stylized Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and their subsequent feature-length releases (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm) will be pleased to note that the same creative team responsible for those efforts have reunited for this action-filled adventure, which pits the Dark Knight against a fetching vigilante in Bat-gear. Kyra Sedgwick voices Batwoman, whose struggle to bring down the Penguin's illegal arms trade gets her in hot water with his hired muscle, Bane (Hector Elizondo), and prompts Batman (Kevin Conroy) to swing into action. Curt Geda's fast-paced, noir-influenced direction, a solid script by Michael Reaves that stays true to the comic book mythos, and a talented voice cast (which includes Kelly Ripa and David Ogden Stiers) help make Batwoman a welcome addition to the Batman DVD library. The Warner DVD's 45 minutes of extras include an original short ("Chase Me"), nine character bios, behind-the-scenes footage, an interview with Geda, and other audience-pleasing supplements. --Paul Gaita

The end of Batman the Animated Series....
The end of the line. This movie marked the end of Batman: the Animated Series. A mysterious new figure, Batwoman, is in Gotham targeting the criminal underworld. Batman tries to find out who the Batwoman is, coming close, but then finding that it can't be who he thinks it is. It also marks a welcome return of the villain Bane, always a personal favorite.

This movie also serves as a sort of backdoor for Batman Beyond. Take a look at the Batwoman's costume and you kind of get the idea where the suit in Batman Beyond comes from.

batwoman rocks
here is another great batman animated film which features a new heroe batwoman. who gives batman a ran for his money. this movie was awesome.

Not overly serious, but quite good
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.
