Batman: Hush (Blu-ray)

Great movie with almost all of Batmans rogues gallery.

I like who HUSH is in this one. The original story was ruined for me during the reveal or sooner as in when I figured it all out in the first issue (you know that feeling when you go--that would be stupid if it's....). Jim Lee's artwork was incredible but Jeph Loeb (who had written two of my favorite Batman tales) delivered something that was just too easy to predict. For those holding the HUSH comics as precious, I will shrug. I loved Jim Lee's art. That's the best thing I can say about Hush. It was so so very pretty. And I loved Loeb's Long Halloween and Dark Victory (but well, ya see, Tim Sale is my favorite artist). While Jim Lee's art doesn't make the transition, thankfully neither does Loeb's strained effort to give Lee a chance to draw every possible awesome Batman related scenario. Don't get me wrong, if someone wasn't well versed in batman or storytelling I'd have no problem giving them my copy of Hush (comic). The up the Bat/Cat angle which would irk me if it wasn't full of the best moments this flick has to offer The animation and voice acting is often embarrassingly stilted, but given the budget and comparison to most anime and Marvel's animated offerings it's all acceptable. But I do wish they'd step up their game at least in the editing department where a couple of cut frames would avoid the awkwardness of some of the voice direction. Other than that my only real complaint is replacing Croc with Bane. It works fine in the story and for newcomers who won't miss it, but I really, really wanted to see Lee's Croc animated. Oh well. I like oMara's Batman and this animated universe has really grown on me, they make a real effort to connect the films, and the recent Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen at least gets a reference. I look forward to more of the films connected to this universe as it makes it easier to accept the changes to these adaptation. So if you've enjoyed the run of Son of Batman on this is more than a worthy addition. as for the Blu, the SGT ROCK SHORT WAS AWESOME and is worth at least $10 of the purchase cost. They'd stopped doing animated shorts many years ago which was a shame, and this one reminds me how crappy of a decision it was to not continue giving the non-trinity characters a chance to be animated. It is better animated than the feature and cinematically superior as well. I never knew I wanted Karl Urban to be Sgt. Rock. Get on it live action gods!

Batman Hush is my favorite comic book of all time. I loved Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's work. I knew going into this that the animation was unlikely to be able to capture the story of the book, mostly because the most powerful moments work on a foundation of character history that doesn't exist in the DCAU. The dynamic between Batman - Gordon - Twoface, between Batman - Jason Todd and also the dynamic between Batman - Joker - Gordon just isn't there. And be realistic, people, an hour and a half movie won't be able to build up the emotional stakes and empathy Jeph Loeb and other Batman writers created over decades and several stories. With this in mind, I was actually pretty impressed with how the movie handled things. They didn't try to capture something that was way out of their reach and while they did completely changed the ending and the overall tone and genre, they still shaped it into a pretty good plot and story. It recreated a lot of the best scenes and character drama from the book and fit in quite a lot of characters and action in for its length. I think the Metropolis and Opera House sections were particularly stand out. The book was defiantly a mystery with lots of "who dun' its," red-herrings and multiple plot twists. The move is much more straight forward and focuses on the action and on the love story between Selina and Bruce, which I think they did very well. I actually liked how their relationship developed and played out in the movie better than the book and even the different ending for the villain Hush was pretty good, if you can accept that it's "not the same as the book." It was less contrived, neater and more simple, if less impactful and dramatic. I think it was the best they could realistically pull off. The most disappointing thing for me was the lackluster animation and voice acting. Jim Lee's art was dramatic and breathtaking and I don't get why the studio can't put in the money an effort to really make their visuals shine and come to life with dramatic angles, expressions and movement. The best shots were the ones taken right out of the book. You would think animation and voice acting should be what elevates a comic turned into a movie, not what drags it down. My imagination and Lee's art was more engaging than this. So boo to the animation artists. Overall, I say Batman Hush is worth watching, but if you're a big fan of the book, have your expectations set at a realistic level and be mindful of the hurtles adaptations face. Be prepared to appreciate what's there despite what isn't there and be open minded for the positive changes the made. If you haven't read the book, the movie is probably one of the best DC animations to come out in several years and the story between Batman and Catwoman is great. The good news is this won't spoil the ending of the book, so after watching this, you should totally read the book too and discover why those of us who read it are whining our asses off over a movie isn't that bad all.

First and foremost, it's only fair of me to say that if you're looking to see the Hush animated movie frame for frame from the original comic, this movie takes a slightly different spin on climax of the story, but I really loved it, and I usually get really annoyed when the movie is not exactly as the comic and/or book. Moving on, I'll start with how I absolutely adored Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne's relationship in this. The writers did a fantastic job scripting the entire film. Selina's personality was outstanding, Bruce's self sabotaging tendencies were on point, just all of the characters were in character and it made the movie very fun to watch. ...... SPOILERS ........ ......... ............ I love anything with The Riddler in it, and this was no exception. His design when he first appeared was Absolutely stellar, and though the twist at the end was not exactly like the comics, I still thought it was fitting and very Riddler-esque. His lines and motives in the plot were fire (pun intended), and the design and usage of his cane in the final act was really cool to watch. The last animated Batman movie I watched with the Riddler was Assault on Arkham, and while his character design and lines were really good, he wasn't in it for long, and I felt very cheated because he was set up to be such a big plot point and driving force of the story, but he was barely in it at all. Hush just makes up for it because Nygma gets the secret spotlight and involving him more was really fun to do in this rendition.

...das ich die Hush-Comics las, ist lange her. Das hier aber der Riddler sich als Hush raus stellt ließ mich dann doch massiv grübeln. Ja, ich weiß, nicht jeder Film muss sich direkt an die Comics halten. Dennoch mag ich es eigentlich gar nicht wenn Gegner komplett anders dargestellt werden, als sie in den Comics eingeführt + dargestellt werden. Nichtsdestotrotz, der Film ist gut, ist an die Hush-Comics zwar angelehnt, aber halt nicht direkt 1:1 übernommen. Viel zu sagen gibt es sonst nichts. Bild + Qualität gehen in Ordnung. Batman-Fans greifen auch hier ein weiteres Mal zu + sind für knappe 85 Minuten gut unterhalten.

Imagenes tipicas y logradas con ganas de verla. Lo que no me explico es que no este en español de españa. Fracaso en ese aspecto

Las películas animadas de DC, de la mano de Bruce Timm, se están enfocando en la adaptación fiel de los cómics más importantes de DC y lo han hecho magníficamente. No son adaptaciones libres como las películas en vivo, y por eso, están mucho mejor hechas. El tiempo de entrega de Amazon también es excelente, comprar en pre-venta es garantía de que lo tienes el día de su estreno.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der BlueRay CD.Und würde es auch weiterempfehlen.Ein weiteres richtig tolles Abenteuer mit meinem absoluten DC Favoriten.Dem Mitternachtsdetektiv,dem dunklen Ritter,BATMAN!

Movie is nothing like the comic book series. Definitely not up to standard. But the dvd itself is store-bought quality
