Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)
Dir. Curt Geda
Batman (Kevin Conroy) rarely gets a break. In addition to risking his life fighting against ego-centric criminals, he risks his public reputation dodging gold-digging ladies at high class charity balls as Bruce Wayne. It's tough being a billionaire.
When a female figure hits the streets of Gotham in a stylised bat suit, being reckless and endangering human life, the caped crusader has to use his night time detective skills and his daytime playboy skills to figure out who's hiding under the mask.
The story offers up more than one possible candidate, which should keep interested viewers guessing for a while. It might be a short while, though, because the 'mystery' aspect isn't as adroitly developed as it could've been.
The art style is reminiscent of The New Batman Adventures, not the more pleasing Batman: The Animated Series. It's not as good as the previous direct to video films in that shared continuity, but it has some fun moments and isn't as bad as its reputation might imply. I like it, anyhow.
- A classic case of overcompensation? Or just a fan of really big guns? -
