Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

Lovecraft horror meets Batman . It's good not great. First 2/3 of film is great . 3rd act ruins the otherwise on track to be a great film.

Lovecraft comes to Gotham. Starting at The Mountains of Madness....don't read the book....to an on world in Gotham story, this delivers.

Well that was different. It's enjoyable as long as you are open to a different genre of the batman universe.

A high critics score and a low audience score, nine times out of ten, means it is a shocker. This is the case here and I wished I had followed my own rule.

This movie, or rather the reviews for this movie, provide a perfect example of why Rotten Tomatoes provides so much value in regards to fairly gauging the impressions of others. If you left it up to the Popcornmeter, one might infer that this movie was horrible. Thankfully, the critics' reviews are tallied separately... where you can read a far more unbiased and fair collection of impressions and opinions about this movie. This is a standalone story which very artfully uses characters from the Batman lore in much different ways... While still retaining the familiarities of each respective character enough for easy recognition. This is not your typical Batman fights the bad guys story... This is a completely separate universe and reimagining of the iconic characters we've already had in a different horror type story, based on HP Lovecraft material and specifically the Cthulhu mythos. If you are a fan of both HP Lovecraft work, not necessarily the man, and are a Batman fan or even just a comic book fan in general, and like to see different artists and writers reimagine original content, I believe you'll enjoy this. Ignore the reviews which cry about characters such as Harvey Dent being used oddly. Those same folks who took the time to rate this movie poorly can't STAND to see any form of artistic license taken with their beloved characters. Their prerogative of course, but keep that in mind. Very good film, very great story.

The worst Batman movie I have ever watched. The story is extremely lacking and everyone dies with a single side character surviving. It is a sort of origins film with Batman dying at the end. They manage to kill two robins for no reason by a character who also dies halfway in.

What was the point of turning Harvey Dent into Two-Face? I thought he was gonna have to fight Batman. He just sat there and did nothing.

This movie is a mess of characters that felt like buzz words. I didn't even care when batman died and litterly became a bat demon. This goes beyond not interesting. Don't watch it.

I personally enjoyed it. I loved the art style and the story was good enough. Only issues are many characters aren’t fleshed out well enough.

The idea sounds original: set Batman and Gotham at the turn of the 18th-19th century and he has to stop some kind of Lovecraftian threat. Problem is they do very little with this beyond the artwork which is pretty good, but not overly interesting. Classic Batman and DC characters show up, but again nothing interesting is done with any of them, in fact, beyond name recognition, most of them are just boring side characters. The plot is full of mysticism and generic monsters for Batman to figure out and fight. Pretty lazy endeavor from WB, definitely one of the more forgettable animated movies which is saying something given how bland and boring a lot of recent releases have been.
