Product Description: THE DARK KNIGHT MUST CONTEND WITH A MYSTERIOUS FEMALE VIGILANTE WHO EMULATES HIM, BUT TO A MORE RUTHLESS DEGREE.
Amazon.com: Fans of the stylized Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and their subsequent feature-length releases (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm) will be pleased to note that the same creative team responsible for those efforts have reunited for this action-filled adventure, which pits the Dark Knight against a fetching vigilante in Bat-gear. Kyra Sedgwick voices Batwoman, whose struggle to bring down the Penguin's illegal arms trade gets her in hot water with his hired muscle, Bane (Hector Elizondo), and prompts Batman (Kevin Conroy) to swing into action. Curt Geda's fast-paced, noir-influenced direction, a solid script by Michael Reaves that stays true to the comic book mythos, and a talented voice cast (which includes Kelly Ripa and David Ogden Stiers) help make Batwoman a welcome addition to the Batman DVD library. The Warner DVD's 45 minutes of extras include an original short ("Chase Me"), nine character bios, behind-the-scenes footage, an interview with Geda, and other audience-pleasing supplements. --Paul Gaita
Another great Batman option! ^ With a stack of DVDs two feet high you would not think our home needed another one - but obviously we did! My son requested this DVD for his birthday and was engrossed in it for hours! If you are a Batman fan - you will enjoy this well produced DVD.
Better than I thought it would be ^ Ive read alot of negative reviews about this movie, but I saw this movie at blockbuster and decided to give it a chance. glad i did. it was better than i thought it would be.
it was well written, entertaning, and fun.
the art is in the same stile as the 'new' batman adventures. but thats no big loss.
the story is still interesting and engaging. the mystery is interesting. allthough the answer to it is a bit like christie's murder on the orient express.
but still..good movie.
basicly there is a new crime fighter in town. batwoman. however she is a bit more ruff than batman. batman trys to find out who she is. there are three possible suspects. at the same time the criminals of Gotham are out to stop the batwoman at all costs.
batgirl makes a fleeting apperance in this movie. and as a nodd to Batman Beyond she clearly has feelings for bruce. bruce is doing his best to put her off though.
all in all this was a good movie.
so dont judge it to quickly your gonna turn down a good movie.
There's a new Bat in town ^ Mystery of the Batwoman is the third movie based on Batman: The Animated Series. To briefly surmise, there's a new Bat-person flying about Gotham & she's hitting the crime bosses where it hurts. Now, Batman has to figure out who she is & which side of the law she's on.
This film features the same quality animation as seen in The New Batman Adventures. The storyline is good & the voice acting, as always, is top notch. I will say that the mystery was not that difficult to unravel but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film. The new Batwoman character is loosely based on the DC Comics heroine. There are also some familiar faces, Robin (Tim Drake), Barbara Gordon (very briefly), the Penguin, & Bane.
The special features include some interesting commentaries & character bios. There's also a PC game, which I haven't tried, yet. Overall, I enjoyed this movie & recommend it for Batman fans. I feel that it's a nice addition to my collection.
Three Batwomen ^ Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman is one hour and fifteen minutes long and was released in October 21, 2003. You have one main story and three subplots and they are all going on at the same time. The movie starts with Batwoman blowing up a truck that is carrying firing arms and being smuggled in the process. Batman is curious about this new Batwoman and what her intentions are. We later find out that it is three women who are putting on the Batwomen costume and they are doing it for three different reasons. Dr. Roxanne "Rocky" Ballantine to free her boyfriend Kevin. Kevin was framed by Penguin; for reasons unknown. Detective Sonia Alcana wants revenge because Rupert Thorne's thugs burned down her parents store. Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne for the murder of her mom for which she blames her father: hit man Carlton Duquesne. The first real encounter between Batwoman, Batman, and Robin is at Penguin's factory where guns are being illegally made and shipped. Batwoman blows up the factory and escapes. This Batwoman has total disregard for human life. Bruce Wayne becomes romantically involves with Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne and believes she is Batwoman. However that theory is squashed when he and Kathy are at Penguin's club. Batwoman is there to find out who is the thug Penguin has hired. We find out that it is Bane. Bane is her to safeguard the shipping of the arms and capture Batwoman. The shipment of arms are being shipped out that evening and the three Batwomen decide to blow up the ship. Kathleen "Kathy" Duquesne's Batwoman is capture by Bane. When she is unmasked her father is in a state of shock. Penguin threatens to poison Kathy if she does not tell who her partners are. When she refuses, Bane decides to kill her father. Just as when Kathy is about to talk, Batman comes to the rescue. Batman saves Kathy, but Kathy goes ahead a set the bomb to blow up the ship. The people have two minutes to get off the ship. In the end the women identities are revealed, Penguin and Rupert Thorne are capture, Bane is seen falling into a fire pit, Dr. Roxanne "Rocky" Ballantine frees her boyfriend, Detective Sonia Alcana is forced to quit the police force and Carlton Duquesne goes to jail. Bruce Wayne finally gets the girl, Kathy. This movie went to fast and was hard to keep up with and jumped around to much for me. Batman - Mystery of the Batwoman gets a B.

Three Bats with Nine Lives ^ Batman has a big problem.
Apparently a new superhero has mysteriously arrived in Gotham City and is pounding home the point to criminals that a new sheriff is in town. And though there are dangling clues, it appears as if the vigilante is a Batwoman.
Writers Alan Burnett and Michael Reeves deliver a solid tale of mystery and intrigue with a dream team of bad guys - Penguin, Rupert Thorne, mob boss Carlton Duquesne and the indestructible Bane - who have a fool-proof plan to illegally sell weapons to the nation of Kazina and a trio of women - Kathy Duquesne, the daughter of the mob boss; Dr. Roxanne Ballantine, an employee at Wayne Tech and Detective Sonya Alcana - who each have reasons to see good triumph over evil. And there is Batman/Bruce Wayne and Robin to try and make sense of it all.
From the streets of Gotham City and the scenic countryside, to the Iceberg Lounge and a ship loaded with contraband, the story clips along at a solid pace to a climax where Bane's incredible strength may destroy Batman and Batwoman.....or the Batwomen.
Kevin Conroy again turns in solid work as the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne, though Kimberly Brooks - the voice of Kathy Duquesne - is outstanding in depicting the gamut of emotions as her character tries to find a balance between family and what she truly believes in her heart to be the right way to live her life.
This is a fantastic addition to the catalog of the iconic superhero and aptly shows the grand potential of animation to tell a story.
