Batman learns that he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son with Talia al Ghul named Damian Wayne who is secretly being raised by Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins. When Ra's al Ghul apparently dies after a battle with Deathstroke, Batman must work to stop his long-lost son from taking revenge and guiding him to a righteous path, in addition to the chance for the pair to truly acknowledging each other as family.
Whoa, I loved this one! It's hard to put into words, but I'll try. Spoilers below.
First, that battle at the end! I love that climatic duel between Damian and Deathstroke. It might be one of the best fights in animation that I have seen. It was very visceral and intense. I love the other fight scenes too. I somehow loved Damian, even though I thought I wouldn't, but I did. Batman was badass as usual. I liked Talia for the most part. Deathstroke was not what I was expecting, but he was still cool and had a believable motivation, so I thought he was a fantastic villain. Also, holy shit, Giancarlo Esposito voices Ra's al Ghul! That's amazing! He only had a few scenes but still. I love this and I believe it is one of DC's best animated movies. I may change my mind later, but right now I will stand by what I said.
