To start off with, the audio started lagging
about midway through the film. It wasn't such
a big deal (easily fixed by rewinding a bit
when the lagging starts making the action
confusing), but something that is to be taken
into account when considering quality. Aside
from this, I did actually really like the
soundtrack that was used - especially the
creepy piano, child-esque music that played
after Harley got into costume. The effects
were sometimes cheesy (Batman's cape
billowing out behind him across two rows of
pews), but interesting, and supported the
storyline well. While the story wasn't as
well thought-out as it could be, the idea of
Batman being willing to take lives after the
death of one so close to him was an
intriguing one, and I loved the crueller and
more ruthless side of Harley that we got to
see. Didn't care much for the Joker, though:
His makeup was disappointing and some of the
more sexual things he says struck me as very
out of character. Overall, definitely worth a watch if you're a
Batman fan, as it is well-shot. The story is
pretty twisted, though, so be warned.
