Drezzy | 70 | - Damn, damn good animated feature. I'm not as familiar with this storyline as I should be, but I knew the basics heading in, and this delivered. It's not on the same tier as Mask of the Phantasm or Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, but it's hard for any DCAU feature to touch those levels regardless (though all are worth watching), but it's still a solid way to introduce "A Death in the Family" and "Under the Hood" to newer fans. Bruce Greenwood makes an excellent Bruce Wayne/Batman, and it's obvious he studied Kevin Conroy's perfect depiction of him to get prepared, but the big surprise to me was how well John Dimaggio (the voice of Bender from Futurama and Jake from Adventure Time) did as the Joker. He took cues from Mark Hamill, and it's obvious he did, but he did enough of his own take to make it all work. Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing was basically stunt casting, though, as he barely factors into the overall story, and Jensen Ackles as the Red Hood himself was solid enough.
