Batman: Assault on Arkham

You can read my review here.







Pros

- Hearing Kevin Conroy and CCH Pounder reprise their roles as Batman and Amanda Waller, respectively

- Has nice balance of action and humor

- Engaging plot with enough twists to keep it from becoming formulaic and predictable.

- Showcases lesser known characters

- Joker makes for a great villain and is well portrayed here.



Cons


- This isn't a Batman movie. He's in it, but he's a supporting character. Knowing this ahead of time, you'll likely enjoy the movie; just know what you're getting.

- Some of the developments don't make a lot of sense if you think about it

- Pushes the PG-13 rating to its limits.  It's fine for older viewers, but this isn't one for the kids



Overall

This was a fun movie.  If you're not a fan of heist movies or not a fan of the Suicide Squad, than this won't be the movie for you.  If you're interested in them, or at least interested in learning about the characters and the general premise, this gives you a good introduction to the major players.
