Rating: ★★★½

One of the best of the animated Batman films, telling the story of the overlooked Robin Jason Todd and his resurrection as the villain Red Hood, a film that has an adult tone and comes with immensely exciting action scenes

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Rating: ★★
Jun 28, 2014Live-Action Transformer Robots
Are there any new creative directions that Michael Bay feels he he has to explore for a fourth Transformers film? All the Transformers beating the crap out of each other and copious mass destruction has become hard to tell one of the films from each other

Batman: Assault on Arkham (2014)
Rating: ★★★
Jun 15, 2015Comic-Book Super-Villain Team-Up/Animation
This is more of a Suicide Squad than a Batman film. Based on the popular Arkham videogames, this a Justice League-type adventure but with super-villains where the emphasis is on dark humor and gleeful mayhem

Rating: ★★★★
Mar 12, 2016Disney Animation/World of Talking Animals
A really good Disney animated film set in a world that imagines what might happen if animals lived in cities, this is an ingenious reworking of the talking animals premise that overflows with visual ingenuity and warm humour

Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)
Rating: ★★★★
Aug 6, 2016Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
Adaptation of the Alan Moore graphic novel, one of the most famous comic-book titles of all time. The notoriously cranky Moore need have no reason to shun this film version, which recreates his work right down to preserving his dialogue and replicating the set-up of individual panels

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
Rating: ★½
Sep 23, 2017Live-Action Transformer Robots
The fifth of Michael Bay's Transformers films. This comes with more of an outright comedy focus than any of the other films where Bay seems to be second-guessing his critics and spoofing his own peccadilloes in quote marks, only to produce the silliest entry in the series yet

Rating: ★★★
Feb 11, 2018Animation/Victorian Era Batman
Adaptation of a classic graphic novel that imagines Batman back in the late 19th Century as he fights Jack the Ripper. This works rather well – in fact, better than the graphic novel it is based on

May 31, 2019Animation/Comic-Book Superhero Crossover
An animated crossover where you cannot help but think that the two styles of either - a grim loner who lives in a dark milieu vs a team of manic teenagers spouting surfer speak - are only going to end up clashing
