3 Star

Be the Protagonists.

Warner Brothers and DC Comics come together once again, and this time they bring us an interactive animation where you make all the key decisions, and determine the outcome and fate of our heroes. Directed by Brandon Vietti (Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League) a man well versed in the superhero genre. He brings us a novel and slightly irritating film experience (I never got a satisfactory beginning or ending). Also those that are stalwarts of the DC franchise will recognise this as a cut up version of the 2010 animation, Batman: Under the Red Hood, which may come as a disappointment if you already own a copy.

Batman (Bruce Greenwood, The Core, I, Robot, Star Trek) in Bosnia, the war torn capital Sarajevo to be precise, and he is on the trail of Ra’s al Ghul, because he believes al Ghul is going to sell dirty bombs to terrorists. But elsewhere in Sarajevo is Jason Todd a.k.a. Robin (Vincent Martella, Phineas and Ferb (TV Series short), Bob Freeman: Exterminator for Hire) who is hot on the heels of the Joker (John DiMaggio, Futurama (TV Series), Batman: The Killing Joke) who has stolen nuclear fuel to aid in the making of dirty bombs.

Batman warns Robin to lie low and this is where your adventure begins as we all know Robin is a headstrong young man and doesn’t always want to be under the wing of the Bat.

With other favourite characters showing up, with the likes of Two-Face (Gary Cole, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, American Gothic (TV Series)), Talia al Ghul (Zehra Fazal, Borderlands 3 (Video Game), Lucifer (TV Series)) and Clark Kent (Nolan North, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (Video Game)). You hold the reins on their lives, choose wisely.
