I didn't know about it. Thanks.
But I think it won't be released for a few more days.
The storyline and setting sound awesome!

A lot of negative user reviews with an understandable complaint. It's set in the future at a "Superhero Academy" so in that respect it fits in with some TV series and episodes. But apparently the history, personality, and appearance of many characters have been altered.
I'll probably watch it eventually, but it isn't nearly as appealing as the new Batman in a Lovecraftian setting promises to be.

I have it now. Will probably begin watching later today.

I'm 2/3 of the way through it. It's quite entertaining. To me, Batman fans who don't like it are being overly perfectionist. Versions of Oliver Queen, Kurt Langstrom, Oswald Cobblepot, Harvey Dent, Poison Ivy and the demon Etrigan all have minor roles. Some people are irritated that that they are not developed. But to me, I just like seeing them in a film that's less than 90 minutes long.
An underlying theme is that Bruce Wayne/Batman has to overcome his dependence on what is "rational". I like that.
This is one of those times I side with the pros rather than the "masses". - Rotten Tomatoes: 83% pros, 54% general audience

I Watched Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham And, Wow, That’s How You Make A Superhero Horror Movie!
SPOILER WARNING: The following article gives away almost the entire story of Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham, so if you have not seen the new animated DC movie, proceed with caution before you go batty over the plot details.
I will admit that I have a bit of a personal bias, but I really do believe that, out of all the most iconic superheroes from DC Comics (or superheroes in general, I might say), Batman is the most dynamic and versatile. Being an ordinary man of extraordinary skill, the costumed crimefighter can be thrown into just about any situation a writer might think of and it could make sense — whether it would be a straightforward crime thriller or some Lovecraftian fantasy tale, which is exactly what Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and co-writer Richard Pace did with their Elseworlds story, The Doom That Came to Gotham.
The three-issue miniseries, published from 2000 to 2001, would inspired the latest Batman movie (co-directed by Christopher Berkely and Sam Liu) and it's one that I think proves my point about Batman’s versatility very effectively. In fact, I don’t mind that it cost me $19.99 to purchase on digital — it is also available now on Blu-ray — because it was worth every penny, immediately earning a spot among my favorite animated Batman movies yet for various reasons. The following is an exploration of why I think Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is one of the best new superhero movies (and best new horror movies, too) that you should check out.

About to begin, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. It's based on the campy series from the 60s, and stars Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar from back then.

So far, not as much fun as I had hoped. Even though it's animated, you can hear the tiredness in Adam's and Julie's voices.
Still glad they were commemorated though.
