Product Description

This chilling and bizarre DC Elseworlds story is a mash-up of the world of Batman and the cosmic-horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, creator of the Cthulhu mythos. Returning from a decade-long voyage of discovery, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City, where his parents fell victim to the knife of a madman 20 years earlier. On his journey, Bruce has taken on an international trio of orphaned street kids – whom Batman fans will recognize as various iterations of Robin. During a deadly Arctic encounter, the Penguin informs Bruce that a doomsday cult is planning Gotham’s destruction. Bruce must now return home and take on the mantle of Batman. But when this man of science discovers he faces not criminals and crazies but actual ancient magic, fiery demons and interdimensional Old Gods, can he retain his sanity?

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gothic Batman Story!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Christopher Berkeley and Sam Liu’s 2023 animated film, “Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham,” adapts the 2000-2001 DC Comics Elseworlds miniseries by Mike Mignola. Like the comic books, the film is a standalone among DC’s Animated Original Movies, neither connecting to the DCAMU nor the Tomorrowverse. It stars David Giuntoli as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Tati Gabrielle as Kai Li Cain, Karan Brar as Sanjay “Jay” Tawde (inspired by Jason Todd), Christopher Gorham as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, John DiMaggio as James Gordon, Patrick Fabian as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Brian George as Alfred, Jason Marsden as Dick Grayson, Navid Negahban as Ra’s al Ghul, Emily O’Brien as Talia al Ghul, Tim Russ as Lucius Fox, Matthew Waterson as Jason Blood/Etrigan, Jeffrey Combs as Kirk Langstrom, William Salyers as Oswald Cobblepot/the Penguin, David Dastmalchian as Grendon, and Gideo Adlon as Barbara Gordon/Oracle & Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy.

    The story blends the Batman mythology with that of H.P. Lovecraft. Stylistically, it takes place in the early twentieth century during Prohibition, beginning with Bruce Wayne, Alfred, Kai Li, Jay Tawde, and Dick Grayson investigating the loss of Professor Cobblepot’s expedition to the Antarctic. They find a cave in which Grendon is chipping away at an ice wall to release an ancient evil. He succeeds and attacks Bruce, but Bruce defends himself and orders the cave demolished in the hopes of containing the evil. After looking through Cobblepot’s journals, Bruce determines that he should return to Gotham after a hiatus of twenty years. His investigations in Gotham lead him to Kurt Langstrom, a connection with Cobblepot, and the Testament of Ghul. In his efforts to retrieve the document, Batman runs against Talia al Ghul, who seeks to resurrect her father. Meanwhile, Grendon brings about Jai Tawde’s fate in an icy ship. Revelations abound with Ra’s al Ghul as he creates Poison Ivy who in turn creates Two Face. Meanwhile, Oliver Queen worries about the sins of the father and his need to save the city. Unbeknownst to him, the newly-returned Bruce Wayne strives for the same goal, though he pays a similarly high price as he stands at the gate of the abyss.

    The story itself is a solid gothic Batman story, hewing as close as possible to Mignola’s original story. Batman has long connections to Lovecraft, with Arkham receiving its name directly from the master of horror. Fans will find this a fun Batman tale that honors the character as well as his gothic influences. Bonus features on this Blu-ray include a featurette entitled “Batman: Shadows of Gotham,” audio commentary, and two bonus cartoons from the DC Vault: the “Batman: The Animated Series” two-parter “The Demon’s Quest,” which introduced Ra’s al Ghul to the DC Animated Universe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Adaptation of a Very Good Comic
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Let's get one thing out of the way - this is an adaptation of an Elseworlds comic, like Gotham by Gaslight before it. It's not canon and does not follow any continuity outside of itself.

    The comic is a combination of Batman and Lovecraft, two of my favorite IPs, so of course I had to get it on discovery. I didn't like it much at first - it throws a lot at you very fast - but it has certainly grown on me, to the extent that my desktop background is the cover.

    So of course I had to get this in 4K as soon as it came out. I have not watched the 4K (lack of technology on my part), so this review concerns the Blu-Ray. Colors were vibrant - animation looks very good on Blu-Ray in general, and this was no exception. The adaptation stays very close to the comic, with some changes for the sake of inclusivity, which actually made more sense in the context of the story. So no complaints there.

    If you're a fan of Elseworlds and/or the source material, there's nothing to dislike in this movie. If you're not a fan of Elseworlds or the source material, then steer clear. If you haven't ventured into Elseworlds at all, I would recommend reading the comic first since, like the comic, the movie throws a lot of Lovecraftian lore at you all at once, and the Batman characters are near unrecognizable. In that way, I think the audience for this work is fairly small, since it is aimed at people like me who are both Batman and Lovecraft fans (not that we're rare, but it's a smaller group than either Batman fans or Lovecraft fans).

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5-stars for hardcore Batman/DC and Lovecraft Fans, 3-Stars for GA
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Another Elseworlds' mashup. I prefer typical Batman stories, but the fun with Elseworlds is iteration, recognizing how they re-mask and re-incorporate the different characters/elements. You have to be a pretty hardcore DC fan to get the most out of this title. Like Gotham by Gaslight, re-imagined Gotham as foggy 19th century London, by setting Batman's story in Lovecraft's time The Doom transforms Gotham from the art deco of the 1930s to--1920s art deco! So it's Gotham, but more Lovecrafty and folk-horror tinged really than roaring 20s top hats and monocles. I got a slight steam-punk vibe.

    Spoiler alert (if you can call something this predictable a spoiler): Batman final bosses against Cthulu. I'm a big fan of both the Cthulu mythos and Batman properties so I enjoyed it for what it is. The story isn't really one of the more satisfying or easy to follow stories, its more Lovecraftian in pace and tone--and as anything can happen, against Batman comic expectations, it also feels like it matters less, especially helper deaths. Still, I am glad I bought it for basically a movie ticket price of $10 and will rewatch it. Batman vs old one monsters is enough to recommend it for me.

    The highlight is Oracle, who as a disabled person confined to a wheel chair, is put in Arkham in keeping with the malpractice of those times. It's a really memorable sequence. The biggest downside: Some animation is done on the cheap with moving still frames. The budget wasn't no-object so I won't even dock a star.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Ok. Not great. Batman has done magic before and better
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023

    This was okay. It's a decent Lovecraftian story with good voice acting and good animation. Where it falls down, in my opinion, is making Batman part of the supernatural - he should solve the supernatural problem as Batman, not as some magical Chosen One. I've nothing against Batman + magic (he's a man of logic, and faced with evidence of real magic, it would be logical to use magic to oppose magic), but Batman's only superpower is being rich and dedicated and smart - it always has been. This movie forgets that

    Another Elseworlds Batman tale, this time set in the 1930s with a heavy dose of HP Lovecraft.

    I liked it, it mashed the two styles together well. More Batman villain cameos than you can shake a stick at, and a great version of Jason Blood too.

    The DC animated movies are often hit and miss, but this one is definitely a hit.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Testament
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    A new DC comics animated movie. This one adapts 1990's comics mini-series 'Batman: the Doom that came to Gotham'. The credits say based on characters from it. I read the original when it came out and can't remember it all now as it's been so long, so I shall review it as something standing on it's own.

    This is an 'Elseworlds' story. If you don't know what that means by now, then it's a DC story not tied into main continuity, so it can do whatever it wants with the characters in order to tell a stand alone story.

    This one is Batman set in the 1920's. Bruce [David Guintoli, who starred in the show Grimm and also voiced Batman in 'Batman Soul of the Dragon] and a trio of orphans who are under his wing are on an expedition to the Antarctic. Where they find another group has run afoul of something terrible. It's time for Bruce to return to Gotham and take up a certain mantle. But very dark forces are lurking, and doom is coming to the city.

    It's Batman meets HP Lovecraft style horror.

    Many pluses to this one. Eighty six mins means it's once again little longer than these used to be, which gives the story more time to breathe and a little more depth. The animation is really good. Some of these recently have a style where the backgrounds can be a bit static. But it's not the case here. Things happening in the foreground also are detailed and it blends together very well. It gets the twenties setting right also.

    David Guintoli is a very good Bruce/Batman. Getting the right level of obsessiveness in his voice. He sounds distracted and weighed down by things. It works. The supporting cast are very good. Actor Brian George [Raj's dad in the Big Bang Theory] makes a really good Alfred. And as with the best Elseworlds it is able to reinvent some characters. A few familiar dc faces you do see in here don't come out at all as you would expect. But the difference of the characterisations makes them appealingly different. And successful.

    It's good as horror as well. It's a twelve certificate so you might think it won't be able to go that far into such areas, yet it does manage to be more unsettling than you would expect. A lot of which is nicely psychological.

    And the main plot is pretty intriguing. There's a great character arc for Bruce as a whole.

    It just didn't feel quite five stars to me, because it seems to drift a bit in the second half. The story felt over before I knew it. There is a bit of a jump at one point that was slightly jarring. It does also underuse some characters, who get a bit forgotten about as it goes on. And I couldn't suspend my disbelief for one key thing, so that didn't really work for me as well as it could have.

    I think though this is one of those ones you could come back to and notice things that you didn't before, so the level of detail is therefore pretty good. Ultimately not quite five star material, but a very nice effort. Worth a try.

    It is a twelve cert though so really not for anyone under that age.

    There's no extra scenes during or after the credits.

    The dvd has no extras.
