Has problems beyond its inability to stick the ending but that’s the one that ultimately sinks it.

Strikes an effective balance between satire and homage and mines the most common ore of the old-time Westerns.

Untethered to Batman’s established continuity, this animated excursion allows the filmmakers to explore different facets of the familiar hero.

Despite featuring strong performances and containing some individually potent scenes, the film’s style keeps the viewer at arm’s length.

By adding cumbersome elements to the narrative, it ultimately detracts from the core human story.

An old-fashioned character piece, more dramatic than comedic in tone but leavened with occasional humor.
