Our take

Batman is hunting a bomb while a team of criminals is sent into Arkham. People get shot, some have bombs in their necks, and the Joker is in play. You will hear the s-word, hell, damn, and the b-word. Fine with a parent from 13. This is meaner than a regular Batman cartoon

Uplifting themes

Stopping the bomb still matters, even when the team is awful Batman tries to save the city while the squad looks out for themselves

Story (may spoil tone)

Batman works desperately to find a bomb planted by the Joker while Amanda Waller sends her newly-formed Suicide Squad to break into Arkham Asylum and recover vital information stolen by the Riddler.

Talk after watching

  • If a boss can blow up your neck, are you really choosing to help?
  • What is the difference between a hero and a criminal who is useful?
