    8/10
    Excellent animation
    Part 1 was good but part 2 was great. I haven't seen many Batman animations and this just makes you want to watch more.

    The plot is great and dark, the way it should be. There is plenty of action (shooting, fighting, chases). Two epic battles, just non stop action, bloody action as well.

    The animation looks great and it sounds great too. This was really enjoyable and extremely well made, one of the best animations I have ever seen. Batman, Superman, Joker - What more do you need?

    Well worth watching, this is one not to be missed.

    8/10.
