Brian Lowry CNN.com 10/13/2020
A more natural fit than most recent forays into interactivity. That's not to say Batman: Death in the Family isn't a gimmick too, but at least it's a fun, inventive one -- and a pretty clever way to kill time on a long, dark night. Go to Full Review Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast 01/23/2023
3/5
Allowing new fans to experience, in some way, the same decision [comic] fans in the 80s had about whether Jason lives or dies through this popular film was, I think, a genius move and a great, creative way to take advantage of current technology.

8/10
It does a great job of dragging you into the story, making you feel culpable for certain outcomes and experiencing "monkey's paw" regret. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 11/18/2020

Violence in interactive noir story and other animated shorts Go to Full Review Rafael Motamayor Polygon 11/11/2020
There are some visually stunning action scenes in the alternate scenes... The problem is the half-baked execution, where an interactive story amounts to little more than a half-hour short film comprised of mostly recycled footage. Go to Full Review Hasitha Fernando Flickering Myth 11/05/2020

diogo13 T @Tua_mera 1d O filme é igual ao "Batman Contra o Capuz Vermelho" de 2010, muitas animações iguais falas igual. O filme só muita algumas coisas mas de resto é o mesmo pelo menos mudavam o estilo de animação. See more Val H. @RT99243222 Jun 3 Just Batman: Under the Red Hood, but chopped up and retold in a flashback. Not sure why this was made if they couldn't even be bothered to add anything or retouch the animation, at the very least... See more Enrique R @NostalgicNerd Jan 28 Batman: Death In The Family, a great animated DC film. Especially for a DC animated film, it is so emotional. And you get really solid 5 animated short films, with a lot of entertainment. I love Jason Todd and Batman and this is kind of a revenge story. But, overall, I give this film a 7.5/10 or a 4/5 stars. See more Era B. @Erabat Jan 14 The animation and the story, it’s just too perfect. Thank you See more Guy C @RT84656352 Jul 31 Great film and finale to the Damien Wayne series See more TROYS S @RT46347260 06/03/2025 Warner's first interactive movie* is a retelling of the 2010 movie Batman: Under the Red Hood - but with the viewer making choices at key points, and deciding how the story plays out. For example, where Jason Todd dies in the explosion in the original, the viewer here gets three options; 'Robin cheats death', 'Batman saves Robin', and 'Robin dies'. If you choose 'Robin dies' you get an abbreviated version of the Under the Red Hood movie. If you choose 'Robin cheats death', he survives the explosion, and if you choose 'Batman saves Robin' Batman gets him out of the warehouse before the explosion. Those last two each lead to a completely new series of events, with the 'Batman saves Robin' option having the longest, most interesting story, with more 'branch points' as it develops (some going where you'd never expect, with real surprise twists and turns).
