Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts (2015)

Just what I expected

A lot of fun.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I think the concept arises from Beast Wars: Transformers at TV series that debuted in 1996, serving as the flagship of the Transformers: Beast Wars franchise. Simply put we have vehicles transforming into animals. Example a motorcycle transforming into a panther and vice versa.Plot: Oswald Cobblepot(The Penguin) enters into elite society, but however is shunned as a freak. In order to gain respect by terror, he funds the creation of robotic animals which are more than capable of defeating superheroes like Batman, Green Arrow and The Flash. So now Batman and his allies must find a way to stop The Penguin, his robots and his hired goons: Cheetah, Killer Croc, Man-Bat and Silverback. Directed by the seasoned Butch Lukic who has worked on animated series like Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League. Dana Snyder beautifully portrays the eccentric, maniacal and sinister Penguin. John DiMaggio plays Killer Croc and notable actor Charlie Schlatter plays The Flash. Not to forget to mention Laura Bailey as Cheetah. Roger Craig Smith has been chosen to voice-act Batman. Seasoned voice-actor Richard Epcar plays the part of commissioner Gordon. Veteran actor Alastair Neil Duncan(Split Second 1992) plays the role of Alfred Pennyworth.Verdict: good enough to buy if you get the opportunity. Your attention will be held from start to finish.Thanks for reading this review, may you live long and prosper.

In the last 25 year, we've seen I believe four Batman animated series, ranging in quality from the Great ("Batman the Animated Series" from 1991) to the truly awful ("Beware the Batman"- a series so dreadful that the Cartoon Network buried it like radioactive waste. Twice.) This look like it is in the same vein, with Batman's team of Nighwing and Red Robin teaming up with the "Two Guys Who Have Popular Live Action Series Right Now But I'm Sure That's A Co-incidence". (That would be the Green Arrow and Flash, BTW, for the Sarcasm Imparied.) So there is a series of crimes being carried out by out of town villains and robotic animals, all being co-ordinated by The Penguin who really doesn't even bother to hide his complicity. His grand scheme makes even less sense than Batman Returns.Worth a watch? Sure. The animation looks nice. The voice work is good.

I don't typically publish reviews, but after seeing so many negative reviews on this release I wanted to set the record straight. I grew up on Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and the like, and have delved deeply into every DC Animated feature released since. True enough, this is not the dark, grim, graphic and violent Batman that our generation is accustomed to; but, in fairness, it's not meant to be. This film is meant for kids and their parents to enjoy together, and in that sense, I think it's awesome. I'll even go a step further, and say that this the first animated Batman film in quite awhile that I would say is kid-friendly for all age groups.There's action, there's comedy, there's loud noises and character development and robots and superheroes and just about everything a young batman enthusiast could ever want. If you're expecting Christopher Nolan's introspective take on the Batman or Scott Snyder's detail-oriented writing skill, you're looking in utterly the wrong place. But if you're looking for a fun, family adventure with the Bat Family, Green Arrow, and The Flash, look no further than this installment. Glad to hear that there's a sequel on the way!

This is by far the worst batman movie I've ever watched , it has an awful plot and don't even get me started on the ugly animated design for batman , the only thing enjoyable from this movie is green arrow , batman , red robin , flash and nightwing working side by side and also will freidle doing the voice for nightwing but besides that there is not much of an actual plot , the villains were terrible as well like penguin he wasn't even a worthy adversary in this movie , he didn't even put up much of a fight , the only villains that were decent was killer croc & man bat the rest are just garbage , wtf they are just fighting a bunch of cheetah robots and those robots didn't put up much of a fight
