Lots of haters but me and my family rather enjoyed this show. Its cute and engaging. Also kind of clever and funny. I don't really see what's wrong with it. Plus the animation is great.

Im giving it 5 stars ironically. The one thing no one seems to be mentioning that made this movie even worse than all the other things they've already mentioned, is the Kurt Cobain thing. I am a huge Nirvana fan and was curious to see what Matt Reeves meant by this was going to be a 'Kurt Cobain Batman'. If you read up on Kurt's story and apply that to this film (like imaging catwoman as his Courtney Love) then dear god this movie becomes downright cringe. On a 10/10 scale id give it a 5 or 6 based on some the scenes, some of the action (not much) and the music. However, when looking at it through the Cobain-as-Batman lens you realize the father scene with Alfred is about Cobain and his dad, his 'vengeance' thing was said by the Riddler as some sort of misguided Cobain fan who joined Antifa or like the movie showed, live as a world hating loner/loser for all the wrong reasons. Its preachy, idk if im supposed to hate Bruce Wayne after Catwoman mentions white privilege or what but i came to see Batman be badass not be lectured to. I really enjoyed Black Panther and i feel it stated its criticisms of white America much better than this. There's also some opinions about Kurt's life subliminally applied that seem to be more opinion than fact. First off, im not exactly sure that Kurt rode off into eternal night after everyone including him knew Nirvana was over after 'In Utero' (he mentions several times in interviews that the three chord guitar rock formula had ran its course and they'd have to reinvent themselves entirely if they were ever gonna follow up In Utero). Connection? Batman realizes he has to become more than just vengeance and leaves Courtney Love, i mean Catwoman, after earlier saying 'this might be the end of Batman'. I think Kurt knew Nirvana was more or less over and the drugs had essentially swallowed him up. Maybe he even did it as part drug guilt and park punk statement which i pray is not it. More than likely it wasnt though and his drug use just completely took over and he did what a lot of junkies do and killed himself over the guilt. But anyways id rather not hear Matt Reeves rounded view on Kurt's legacy in a Batman movie, especially when the movie is this awful. Kurt is a dude who will forever be remembered as a guy who had the misfits/weirdos backs (unless his killed himself and left his poor daughter as punk statement which i pray wasnt the case and will never truly know) as Batman says towards the end but in the context of 'people want to know someome has their back'. But all of this is just a cringe fest i cant believe people defend. Oh well just a movie.
