PLOT SYNOPSIS


Returning from a decades-long voyage of discovery, Bruce Wayne (DAVID GUNTOLI) returns to Gotham City, where his parents fell victim to the knife of a madman 20 years earlier. On his journey, Bruce has taken on an international trio of orphaned street kids – whom Batman fans will recognize as various iterations of Robin. During a deadly Arctic encounter, Bruce learns that a doomsday cult is planning Gotham’s destruction. Bruce must now return home and take on the mantle of Batman. But when this man of science discovers he faces not criminals and crazies but actual ancient magic, fiery demons and interdimensional Old Gods, can he retain his sanity?

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2½/5


This release comes with a matted slip cover. Inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD copy. Not a whole lot of features, but there is an Audio Commentary with Co-Director Sam Liu, Writer Jase Ricci, DC Creative Director Mike Carlin and Producer Jim Krieg; and Batman: Shadows of Gotham (13:12) featurette, along with 2 Bonus Cartoons.

 


4K UHD VIDEO – 4½/5, BLU-RAY VIDEO – 4½/5, AUDIO — 4½/5


Warner Bros. releases Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham arrives on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray where it’s shown with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 2160p and 1080p high-definition transfer, respectively. The picture pretty much is in line with most of these direct-to-video animated features from DC; detail is well defined while colors are balanced. Both formats are fairly comparable with a slight edge to the 4K however nothing significant.

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track offers up clear dialogue and the depth is adequate enough especially with some of the more action-centric scenes, along with the quieter ones where ambient noises can be heard coming from the rear channels.
