Editor Bruce King shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Has its moments I guess and liked the 1970s-like styling though another animated movie where Batman is merely there to help sell rather than a major factor in the story. Gets a bit repetitive towards the end to the point I was kind of dosing off but didn't mind the animation and the voice acting was okay. 3.25/5

'Batman: Soul of the Dragon' was a chance to reinvent an old and potentially interesting character and launch him into its modern canon. However, Warner Bros. has to start taking chances on movies with other heroes in them besides Batman if it wants its lesser-known properties to get some time in the spotlight. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-batman-soul-of-the-dragon-pushing-the-boundaries-of-batman-fatigue
