DC makes some of the greatest animated movies; Under the Red Hood to name for one.
Their top titles all had something in common - good story arc, characters with depths, and good action.
This movie however lacked quite a number of those elements. The characters were very two-dimensional, and I'm surprised DC managed to paint Batman in such a dull light, considering DC's previous successful Batman animated titles (I mean, did he even do anything at the parking lot?).
The animation was also very poor, and will soon be DC's animated features demise if they don't up their stakes. One of their recent ones - Batman and Harley Quinn, was animated with the Batman animated series/childish look, however it was fluid, had a great theme, great action and the characters had plenty to offer - so it's not that I don't like childish style, it's the execution.
Another point I'd like to make is how they portray their heroes in combat. This animation is really slow, so a lot of the times they have static characters looking at an incoming blaster/object, and just take the hit. There's no new intuitive combat being choreographed, and quite frankly, in real life these heroes will be fighting much better than shown.
