Ther eare lots ofBatmanfilms, and if you’rea
superherofan, you’ve probably already seen
some of them.This animatedmovie ,released in
the 1990s, is one of the verybest. Unlike most
Batmanfilms, the mainfoe hereismysterious
andlessknown,and the moody,wonderful
musicenhances the atmosphericartwork. In
fact, the filmwas originally only intended for a
homerelease, butstudio bossesrealiseditwas
so good thatthey had to put it into cinemas.Disney+,Google Play,iTunes, Prime Video,YouTube
