The 1080p/AVC-encoded Blu-ray presentation of "Batman: Assault on Arkham" captures excellent detail, contrast, and deep black levels, but is consistently marred by banding and occasional macroblocking, detracting slightly from the overall solid transfer that effectively conveys Gotham’s dark, gritty atmosphere.

Audio: 70

Presented with a robust DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, the Blu-ray's sound design excels in delivering immersive, directional effects and deep LFE support for action sequences, while maintaining clear, well-prioritized dialogue. An engaging and powerful track that enhances the high-stakes atmosphere of the film.

Extra: 46

Warner Bros. delivers a feature-rich Blu-ray for 'Batman: Assault on Arkham', with in-depth commentary and insightful featurettes exploring the film’s development, Harley Quinn’s evolution, and Arkham Asylum’s lore, all presented in 1080p HD, along with a sneak peek at 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis.'

Movie: 61

Batman: Assault on Arkham offers a fresh, violent plunge into Gotham’s underworld, focusing on the Suicide Squad with limited Batman presence, blending twisted, nearly R-rated entertainment with compelling antiheroes and a standout voice cast, despite occasional script flaws and minor underdevelopments.
