Assault On Arkham Killer Frost - What's the problem, haven't you heard of this? Well, that's probably because this original DC Universe movie doesn't match the story of the pre-existing comic books. That's right folks, it's a 100% true story and not seen, and best of all it's based in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham Asylum series of games. Score!
The story of Batman: Assault on Arkham reveals a little something like this: after trying to capture (or kill) the Riddler due to Batman's interference, government agent Amanda Waller forcibly assembles a group of protesters consisting of several Gotham villains: Deadshot, Harley Quinn , Killer Frost, Black Spider, King Shark and Captain Boomerang. Because Waller is responsible for many "off-the-books" government actions due to his lack of morals and unusual behavior, Waller has no problem throwing a bomb down the throat of every member of the "Suicide Squad." Failure to follow instructions results in immediate beheading. Therefore, criminals-affiliated with the problem-criminals launched a secret attack on Arkham Asylum. At the same time, the Dark Knight is also on a mission: to find and distribute a dirty bomb hidden somewhere in Gotham and the Joker, if it explodes it can have a devastating effect on the whole city.
Assault On Arkham Killer Frost
The thing that I found so great about the movie was that it mostly followed the activities of the gang, with only glimpses of the Bat here and there until the last part of the movie, when he finally got into the Dramatic entrance that only Batman can. Following the events of the story according to the villain was a great mechanic, and I was left wanting the villains to win, or at least not take their heads off. When Batman finally fell to the mob, I was immediately reminded that he was actually the hero of the episode, and that celebrating the villains is evil. Bad Jayden. Bad!

Let it be clear now that Batman: Assault on Arkham is by no means a children's movie, as it is quite possibly the most serious and mature DC animated film. When we first meet King Shark, he is swimming in a bloody bathtub, while the naked bodies of his victims hang from the ceiling of his hotel room. Harley Quinn's vision is equally brutal, as we see the psychotic jester deal with unwanted female interference by biting off a woman's ear. Hell, even the Dark Knight himself is brutal, delivering a blood splatter to the cheek of one soldier before severing the arm of another. Wild stuff indeed. And if you thought "adults only" was enough, I should also take the opportunity to introduce you to the incredibly sexual tone of many of the film's dialogues. In fact, two of the band members even do hippy-dippyty (and no, I'm not going to spoil it by telling you who. You'll just have to wait and see...)
Violent violence is all well and good, but only when it's backed up by action sequences, and thankfully Batman: Assault on Arkham delivers that in spades. The opening sequence shows exactly what to expect: an action-packed sequence where Batman uses his arsenal of weapons and advanced fighting skills with a small group of soldiers, and the fight choreography complements the fluid animation perfectly. Batarangs appear in the air, enemy attacks are well controlled and countered, and even Batman's pellet gun is incorporated into this action sequence. Words can't describe how bat-tastic the fights in this film are, not to mention the simple art style. The Dark Knight beats everyone in the movie.
Of course, when it comes to the world of animation, great visuals can become meaningless if the sound works. Unsurprisingly, that's not the case for Batman: Assault on Arkham, thanks to a rock solid cast of top-notch voice actors. Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) reprises his role in the game as Batman, while Nolan North (Uncharted) also returns briefly for a cameo with the Penguin. Although not previously seen in the game, other performances of the actors worth noting are Neil McDonough (Small Report), whose quiet but calculated performance as Deadshot was a very interesting portrayal of the character, Hynden Walch (Adventure Time), who brought only the Right. Mad at the table as the ever-lovable Harley Quinn, and Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds), who appeared as the hard-drinking and arrogant Riddler. Other actors include John DiMaggio (Adventure Time), Greg Ellis (Pirates of the Caribbean), Giancarlo Esposito (The Usual Suspects) and Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect 3), all of whom are excellent as King Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Black Spider. and Killer Frost. Alas, the great Mark Hamill was unable to voice the Joker this time, but thankfully the role was still incredibly well played by Troy Baker (The Last of Us), who voiced the Clown Prince of Crime in Batman: Arkham Origins.
In short, I loved Batman: Assault on Arkham: the fact that it mainly followed the journey of the bad guys, the amazing action, the sudden and unexpected death of many of the members of the gang, the conflict between Arkham Asylum and the police, this animated flick has everything I could ask for. My only thing? Running time is just over an hour! To be honest, the story is in good shape, so if the short running time was a result of the filmmakers making sure the audience didn't get bored during the run, I can handle it.

At the end of the day, if you're a Bat fan, you should buy this movie. Similarly, if you like movies that involve detectives, prison break, fast-paced action, or goofy, Batman: Assault on Arkham will be perfect. Bring on DC animation with original lines, I say!

Audio visual multimedia extraordinaire (at least in his opinion), Aussie Dave has lured Jayden into the glory cave of geek pop culture, and it's going to take more than you can give to lure him back. Unless you bribed him with Ninja Turtles related merchandise...then all friends are there.
