HBO Max always sneaks something on at the last minute that wasn't on the schedule. This time it was the two animated movies released this year.

I personally loved it, watched both parts last night. I was engrossed. I liked the art style as well and the animation. All the VAs were great.
They're really good. Jensen is a great batman and baker's joker is probably better than ever
Very cool. Will check it out then. My wife , who typically doesn't watch these animated films, loved The Killing Joke so I think she'll like this story (and adaptation) more from what I hear
Enjoyed it well enough, but there's a distinct quality difference in animation between the two. Part One is more well rendered scene to scene, but there's a real stiffness to the animation. In Part Two (and this may be because there's more action), the animation is more fluid while it loses some detail/shading on the characters. I'm curious if anyone else noticed.
Honestly prefer Part Two though, but it's a great adaptation of the source material even with the slight alterations and edits from the original story.

Am I taking crazy pills here? These movies were awful. Part 1 was fine on its own, but Part 2 is whacked out enough to ruin both of them. The whole movie is a bloated mess that surrounds and overwhelms a good core story.
I'm in disbelief that the opinions in this thread are uniformly positive. Part 2 is an absolute disaster of plotting and pacing
Why the hell was there an entourage of rogues' gallery villains crammed in there?
Why in god's name did they start Part 2 with Bruce Wayne already being mind controlled by Poison Ivy, when this was neither foreshadowed by Part 1, nor really explained at all at any point? They didn't even show the circumstances that led to it happening! It was just already in progress!
Why did the final climactic battle feel like a fight scene from the 1960s Batman series? Cat Woman was like Robin, Two Face was the boss villain, and all the other major villains - even the Joker! - were written like random lackeys: mobs for Batman to get through in order to reach Two Face. It was absurd.

LTTP here but I just caught both parts and really loved them. Never read the source material so this particular story was new to me and I thought they did a fantastic job. Honestly one of the best DC animated movies WB has put out.
I watched these and liked them overall, but they make Batman — and everyone else searching for Holiday's true identity — look like an idiot. A full calendar year passes and not a single person actually connects the huge neon-glowing dots? Good grief.
