Son of Batman : The Debut of Gotham's Dark Heir

Son of Batman is a DC Universe Animated Original Movie released in 2014, directed by Ethan Spaulding and adapted from the classic comic book story arc by Grant Morrison & Andy Kubert, "Batman and Son" (2006). This film serves as the official entry point for Damian Wayne—Bruce Wayne/Batman’s biological son from his relationship with Talia al Ghul—into the DC animated universe.

Brief Synopsis

After his grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul, is murdered by his own treacherous henchman, Deathstroke, Damian Wayne (who is young but already trained as a professional assassin for the League of Assassins) flees to Gotham to find his father, Batman. The arrogant, brutal Damian, accustomed to killing, wants immediate revenge. Meanwhile, Batman attempts to teach him his "one rule": no killing. This father-son conflict is at the core of the story, coupled with massive action sequences against Deathstroke and the remnants of the League of Shadows.

What Makes This Film Interesting

Damian Wayne instantly steals the spotlight. A 10-year-old who can already defeat adults, is arrogant, sarcastic, and refers to Batman as "Father" in a cold tone—his character is both highly entertaining and tragic.

The chemistry between the rigid but caring Batman (voiced by Jason O’Mara) and the rebellious Damian (Stuart Allan) feels fresh and funny.

The animated action is brutal and fast-paced, typical of early 2010s DC animated films (PG-13), complete with swords, explosions, and satisfying hand-to-hand combat.

The appearance of the villain Deathstroke (voiced by Thomas Gibson), who is cold and calculating, plus cameos from Talia al Ghul (Morena Baccarin) and Nightwing (Sean Maher), adds depth.

Strengths

- Short runtime (74 minutes) that is dense with content and gets straight to the point.

- Presents a new side of Batman as a confused but trying "father."

- Animation and fight choreography are above average for DC animated films of that era.

Conclusion

Son of Batman is one of the most exciting and memorable Batman animated films of the 2010s, especially for fans wanting to see the Dark Knight's dark family side. If you like a more "human" Batman alongside brutal action, this film is a must-watch. General rating: 8/10 for fans, 7/10 for casual viewers.

Bonus: This film serves as the opener for the "Damian Trilogy" in the DC Animated Movie Universe, followed by Batman vs. Robin (2015) and Batman: Bad Blood (2016). They are highly recommended to watch in sequence!
