I saved this to watch on New Years eve 2023 and boy was I rewarded. What an excellent watch I had. I had my doubts about this when I watched the trailer to this animated feature. But this animated movie blows away the inferior trailer.
I should point out that this is a hand drawn animated Batman cartoon with a particular style of animation. It reminded me more of the Dexter's Lab cartoons I used to watch on cable TV those days...
The film shows a 8 year old Damian who wants so badly to impress his superhero father Batman. However his father is so overprotective of him that Damian despises him initially. Later on some thieves break into Wayne Manor, when Batman is on a mission, leaving Damian who is the only occupant at the time to fend for himself the best he can(shades of Home Alone 1990 also a Christmas movie).
There are plenty of nostalgic references to Batman(1989) throughout. All the iconic supervillains of yesteryear are all here. The cast though meager delivers tremendously. Excellent script, animation and voice-acting to boot. Thank you Bob Kane(1915-1998) and Bill Finger(1914-1974) for the character of Batman.
