"Lesson #1 – Stay Out of TroubleYou could probably learn this lesson from any super hero movie, but Batman’s a particularly effective teacher, and Batman: Assault on Arkham may be his most effective course on the subject yet. We know that committing crimes will land us in jail, or possibly in a scary mental institution such as Arkham, but Assault introduces the Suicide Squad to the world of DC cinematic animation. We’re definitely law abiding citizens over here, but we have to admit, the thought of taking up a life of crime seems FAR less appealing when it could result in having bombs implanted in our necks and being forced on extremely dangerous missions for a shadowy government agency. Especially when those missions could put us at odds with Batman."
The other four lessons, which you can read in their entirety in the full article, are as follows:
Lesson #2 – Quality is Far More Important than Quantity
Lesson #3 – Learn to Roll With the Punches
Lesson #4 – Continuity Isn’t Always King
Lesson #5 – Avoid Rebound Relationships
Check out the other four lessons and the full article, written by Tim Beedle, here. While I agree that you can learn these lessons from watching Batman: Assault on Arkham, I can tell you that no school in America is going to be allowing teachers to show it to students this is not a film for young children, and I know high schools aren’t going to be showing a film where Harley quite clearly has a one night stand with Deadshot, and both she and Killer Frost use nudity to distract Arkham guards so their teammates can attack.
Please don’t get me wrong, I love this film and am not trying to bash it in anyway. I am simply pointing out that many parents and teachers will not approve of their children seeing this film. I gave Batman: Assault on Arkham a fairly glowing review, with my main critique being that it is not very child friendly, you can read my review here.
