Official Press Release

The Dark Knight isn’t seeking tricks or treats when Gotham City’s most lethal villains take to the streets on Halloween night in the newest DC Comics animated film - Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the original movie arrives from Warner Bros.

Batman is on the trail of the city’s spookiest villains while, further complicating matters, the clown prince of crime himself, The Joker, is ruling over this mysterious crew of misfit criminals. It’s up to the Dark Knight to stop this gruesome gang before they unleash “digital laughter,” a computer virus that’s part of a diabolical plan to jeopardize all of Gotham City’s vital technology. Batman, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Nightwing and Red Robin must combine forces to battle these baddies and save the city.

This should have been a TV show. At this point I'd just rent it and I enjoyed the first installment.
I bet that Bat-Dinosaur is a toy.

Looks good. The Monster Mayhem title, and even the font treatment they give to it really reminds me of Scooby Doo (due to the SB game Mystery Mayhem). I also think Batman Unlimited would work nicely as a television show. Kind of like a blend between Batman: TAS, and newer ones like Brave and the Bold.

Hmmm, the video didn't even mention blu ray, hopefully the worded press release is correct but Scooby-Doo had a title skipped on blu so I'm a bit worried.

There's an official template pic of the BD in the first post

Another Batman Unlimited movie already?

Animal Instincts JUST came out for christ sakes. Is this Unlimited franchise based off some sort of comic or something?

How is it we get all of these releases and still no Mask of the Phantasm?

This is based on a toyline.

Official Press Sheet. No sign of a Collector's edition with the wide release. Either none are planned, or they've gone back to being BB exclusives. lol @ the shamelessly big and bold headline "Monstrous Profits"

Looks so cheaply animated, which is a shame as it looks pretty cool otherwise.

The animation looks fine to me. It's not meant to be comparable to their DC feature films or anything, but more like the Batman television shows.

They lost me at Batman riding a robotic dinosaur.

The animation is actually pretty good. The backgrounds are a little bland.

Its more like a TV show than a real DCU film.

[MifuneFan]

This is a cool composition

Batman and Halloween? I'm in.

I want a film adaptation of The Long Halloween comic so bad

[Batmon77]

Villains don’t stand a chance. When you bring them down, lock them up in the CybeRex™ belly jail. The streets of Gotham City are safe again!

It's the faux-anime business, I just think it always looks really crappy unless it's an actual anime.

Did you see the trailer? They're not even using the anime style that they've used in some of their feature films.

How does one determine whats "real" vs faux? All DCU done overseas.

I dunno really, you can just tell. Or maybe not in this threads case, but I can. This looks like those really cheap, Korean outsourced animes.

Looks pretty anime like to me.
