Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, a review by Rogmeister

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)
Voices: Kevin Conroy, Kimberly Brooks, Hector Elizondo, Kevin Michael Richardson, Kelly Ripa, Kyra Sedgwick, David Ogden Stiers, Bob Hastings, Efram Zimbalist Jr.

In this animated direct-to-DVD movie, a new costumed vigilante is in town...Batwoman.  She is particularly bent on destroying the crime alliance of Rupert Thorne and The Penguin...who are soon joined by the behemoth known as Bane.  Batman tries to keep the peace and also tries to solve the mystery of just who is this Batwoman anyway?  There are several women on the scene, any of which could be the mysterious crimefighter.  This animated feature was made by some of the same people who worked on the Batman animated series, though not all of them (no Bruce Timm on this project, for instance).  The movie is 75 minutes long so there's no time for slow boring passages.  It's a fast-moving, slightly less dark adventure than many of the episodes of the series it is based on.  And, surprise surprise, Bruce Wayne even winds up with a girl at the end!  Woo-hoo!  I would definitely recommend this for any wanting a good animated Batman adventure.  

The DVD release has several extras.  There is a short original Batman adventure (about 5 or 6 minutes long) titled "Chase Me" where Batman is chasing Catwoman...there's no dialogue or sound effects in this adventure...the soundtrack is comprised solely of a musical score.  There is a couple behind-the-scenes featurettes, one where several involved with the main film talk about the film and their thoughts on how they approached it and Andrea Romano discusses how a specific scene is approched, from script to finished product.  And there are character bios...but if you get this, don't check those out until after watching the main film unless you want the mystery of who Batwoman is to be ruined for you!  I enjoyed these extras, too...it makes me want to place an order right away for some other Batman animated adventures I don't have yet!

I just finished watching this set. Not to bad considering I just got it this past Monday. While I still consider Grey's Anatomy to be one of my all-time favorite medical dramas... I must admit that this isn't their strongest season. While I definitely enjoyed most all the episodes... they weren't quite the caliber of episodes that I am used to from this series. Especially coming after such an excellent season that we got in season six. And why is it that all my favorite shows just must have a musical episode? While the main storyline for this episode was good... it really didn't need the musical aspect that they gave it. And at the very least... for me personally... it took away from the episode. Making me want to fast forward through half the episode. Still a really good season... but I definitely seen better.
