Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Mixes Lovecraft and Bill Finger’s characters in to such a memorable bit of animated horror. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) The alternate universe for Batman is never explained and that leaves the story too muddled and confusing to be entertaining. The saving grace is the animation is very strong. Rated: C- Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media The central story is muddied by the gimmickry of origin stories for this or that character. It's yet another superhero animated movie that's best enjoyed by the fans, who will probably have a lot to argue about with this one. Rated: 2/5 Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson SuperHeroHype A similar story that wasn’t full of spot-the-reference could be even better, but since this is DC, and they know their characters are the selling point, at least they’re going to crazy places. Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast A mysterious and well-paced Lovecraftian tragedy, showcasing pulp horror twists on familiar characters that will thrill fans of the Batman mythos. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 4, 2023 Full Review Sergio Pereira CBR Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham features the darkest knight so far. Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicholas W 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Chris E 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Lancelot O 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Jay R Great movie , it's always good to see animated movies steer away from the normal story lines , Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Michael P Throw away type of title. Was bored through most of it, some interesting ideas but ultimately everything felt flat. Definitely one of the worse DC animated movies I've seen to date. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Aaron K I recently have been binge watching all the DC animated movies and I came across this one today and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed how batman was portrayed in this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
