Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

Mixes Lovecraft and Bill Finger’s characters in to such a memorable bit of animated horror.

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.

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.

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.

A mysterious and well-paced Lovecraftian tragedy, showcasing pulp horror twists on familiar characters that will thrill fans of the Batman mythos.

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham features the darkest knight so far.

With strong animation, a great cast, and excellent source material, it’s one Batman tale you’ll won’t want to miss, especially if you’re a Lovecraft fan.

Horrific scares, suspenseful thrills and Lovecraftian goodies are all-a-plenty in this latest DC animated Batman flick which brings Mike Mignola’s Hellboy-esque vision to life.

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham adapts DC's Elseworlds comic book series into a twisted animated tale. The dots aren't smoothly connected but lead to a shocking climax with an unexpected twist.

Unlike its source material, there is no doom in the film Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham. Instead, the film settles for a paint-by-the-numbers experience with nothing memorable to offer.
