Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman is not as good as Return of the Joker, SubZero and especially Mask of the Phantasm. Some scenes do feel like filler and Robin for my tastes was rather bland. However, there is still much to like, first and foremost the animation, which is wonderful with everything very detailed and lavishly coloured. The music is full of haunting atmosphere too and never feels out of place, while the writing is sharp and provokes thought and the story even with the filler has great suspense, a sense of mystery and some exciting action. Batman is still the dark and brooding character we know and love, and Penguin, who's always been one of my favourite Batman villains, is a delight to see. The voice acting is terrific, Kevin Conroy can do no wrong, and Kelly Rippa is also surprisingly good. David Ogden Stiers may have inevitable comparisons to Paul Williams, but I think he does do a more than worthy job with Penguin's voice. All in all, a very good movie, while not the strongest Batman animated movie it is hardly bad either. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Not the best animated Batman movie, but still a very good movie
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Gotham has a new hero and according to Commissioner Gordon, she has nothing to do with Batman.
This new usurper, Batwoman seems to be targeting Penguin and a gangster Carlton Duquesne employed as protection for some weapon shipments.
It is for Bruce Wayne to investigate especially as Barbara Gordon is upset that she may have been replaced while she has been away at college.
Bruce has his suspicions, there are at least three young ladies who could be this Batwoman.
The animation here is pretty run of the mill but it has a good voice cast. It has an intriguing tale of someone felt wronged by the villains of Gotham and are hell bent on revenge. They also all have a thing for Batman.
Interesting storyline...
I sat down in 2020 to watch the 2003 DC animated movie "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman". Now, I wasn't really expecting much, since I am not particularly fond of superhero movies or animated movies, but still, if I haven't seen something, I will if given the chance.
And now that I have seen this 2003 animated movie, I must say that the storyline was actually good and entertaining. There was a good amount of plot, action and character interaction in it. And it also definitely helped that the story had some interesting characters in it as well.
As for the drawing style, then I am not really a fan of the particular style of art and drawing that they used for this era of "Batman". The very art itself is just too edged and cartoonish.
They had a good ensemble of voice actors and actresses to perform the various voices for the characters in this movie, with the likes of Kevin Conroy, Kelly Ripa, David Ogden Stiers and Hector Elizondo to name the most noticable.
I will say that "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" is definitely not aimed at the youngest of audiences, given the violence throughout the story.
My rating of the 2003 DC animated movie "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" is a six out of ten stars. It was enjoyable and good, but it wasn't the best of animated "Batman" movies available.
