Overall, I liked them both, but I liked Bloodlines a lot more. I appreciated Hush, but it's not high on my list of ones I want to see again. I guess I just have such fond memories of the source material, and the film version leaves too many things out. I agree with Paeter that it was pretty hampered by having to conform it to the DC Animated Movie Universe
I much preferred the Riddler reveal at the end of the comics, where the final confrontation is between Batman and Riddler in a cell, over the rote chemical plant climax in the film. And killing off the Riddler in the DCAMU really limits some of the Batman stories I'd like to see them adapt (particularly "The War of Jokes and Riddles").
I did really like Nightwing in the film, though. And I've always liked Jason O'Mara as Batman. Not high on the voice they chose for Catwoman; she needs a deeper, more sultry voice to really capture the character, I think.
As for Bloodlines, it really was a series of encounters that kind of tied into the plot, but it was entertaining, and I didn't have any source material to judge it against. The final encounter on Themyscira was pretty hardcore, though it would have been nice to see Wonder Woman reeling a bit more from all the damage she took.
The worst part of it was making Etta Candy not only gay, but a playgirl. She's standing there with an Amazon in each arm at the end.
Did anyone else notice that the last few installments of this universe have featured the heroes transitioning out of their New 52-style outfits into more traditional styles?
