For example, the movie explores the end of Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon's relationship. Also, Dick Grayson is not featured and while not explicitly stated in the movie, this decision to not include him was to say that he had already moved on to Blüdhaven which was established in "Return of the Joker".
The new movie shows that there is a new vigilante in town named Batwoman. She is not as concerned with the whole "no kill" thing like Batman is and this is what makes Batman want to track her down. Meanwhile, Bruce finds himself entangled with a woman named Kathy Duquesne, a daughter of a notorious crime boss.
The movie's art style takes after the animation found when "Batman: The Animated Series" became "The New Batman Adventures". I was, admittedly, never a fan of this animation style when it changed and so the animation here doesn't really do anything new or innovative.
In fact, the story feels a bit generic. It feels like this is one of the show's lesser episodes except given a longer runtime. I found that I really didn't care about this film's version of Batwoman or the story that revolved around her. By the end of it, I must admit that I was ultimately bored with the movie.
A second problem with the movie was with the film score. Lolita Ritmanis did the score here and before this, she was known for her work on "Batman Beyond". While her scores on that show was good, the score here was repetitive and generic, with one theme playing on repeat throughout the whole damn thing. The score helped define just how generic this movie really is.
At the end of the day, this is one of the more forgettable stories in the Dark Knight's animated adventures. The movie doesn't add anything new what had already been done before it and while it may not be the worst Batman story ever told, it may be something just as worse. It is completely and totally forgettable.
