Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.
The opinions I share are my own.
Note: The screen captures were taken from the included Blu-ray disc.
THE MOVIE — 3/5 |
|
Plot Synopsis: Catwoman (ELIZABETH GILLIES), a.k.a. Selina Kyle, has no qualms about risking her nine lives when a prize like the world’s most valuable emerald is the reward. But with Batwoman (STEPHANIE BEATRIZ) and Interpol maneuvering to spoil her fun, she must tread lightly. Complicating this game of cat and mouse are the global crime juggernaut Leviathan, deadly assassins, and a trail of twists and turns that may just trip up this nefarious feline. Quick Hit Review: Lower-tier amongst the DC Animated movies but still mildly entertaining albeit features a fractured story and odd pacing. Still, Elizabeth Gillies as the voice of Catwoman was well done and the animation itself looked pretty good and the film does have a nice supporting cast that included Jonathan Banks, Lauren Cohan, Keith David, Jonathan Frakes and Kelly Hu. On the downside, I didn’t buy Stephanie Beatriz’s version of Batwoman, don’t know why but found her to sound strange, but maybe it was on par with what Ruby Rose did in the first season of her series. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2¼/5 |
|
This release comes with a semi-glossy slip cover and inside a redemption code for the Digital HD copy. Features are on the light side with only two featurettes: When the Hunter Becomes the Hunted (18:57) and Catwoman: The Feline Femme Fatale (39:52), both only available on the Blu-ray disc. |
4K VIDEO – 4½/5, BLU-RAY VIDEO – 4½/5 |
|
Catwoman: Hunted whips onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, shown with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and 2160p and 1080p high-definition transfers, respectively. For the most part this looks on par with other recent DC animated movies with bright colors with maybe some minor aid with the HDR, and decently sharp detail on both formats. |
AUDIO – 4/5 |
|
The 4K and Blu-ray discs come with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Nothing outstanding with this lossless track but still provided for clear dialogue and some okay depth which I tend to find lacking with these animated movies. |
OVERALL — 3½/5 |
|
Overall, Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead. |
