	Media	Author	Review
		Joshua Yehl IGN	"[It] defies expectations with a great heist film featuring obscure DC villains."
		Kofi Outlaw Screen Rant	"The opportunity to truly explore the DCU from the underbelly of supervillain perspective is a welcome and refreshing one - while thin threads of connection with the Arkham Asylum game series provide a nice structure and familiarity to the world of the film and the characters therein.(…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Dave Trumbore Collider	"The design of this version of Arkham is as poorly thought out as the rest of the plot, and it seems as if the creative team chose instead to just cram some villains together"
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"[It] is exactly what Warner Bros. (Time Warner, Inc.) and DC Comics should be doing with their animated properties. It is a terrifically entertaining and exciting comic thriller"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"One of the best films in DC’s entire animated line, 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' is the 'Suicide Squad' story we deserve." (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
