Batman, with the help of the Flash, Green Arrow, Nightwing, and Red Robin, has to try and get to the bottom of the mysterious robotic animals attacking Gotham.

Bad bad so very bad.
I am a huge batman fan and watched every piece that has come from the franchise so far. This lackluster monstrosity to the batman name should have never been made.
Watching the trailer it seemed like a great way of doing a new take on the batman. It failed. The plot was ridiculous in points (beyond normal superhero film levels), characters were boring and I am struggling to come up with one positive point except the animation was good about 30% of the time.
Do not watch this and making your children watch this is child abuse.

5 Stars for the sake of making a Batman Movie.
You will find the slowest flash here, he even forgot to leave a streak behind in his last scene. Some guerrilla is faster than him.
Arrow's arrows are made of rubber and wood. They bounce off the crock's skin but can penetrate concrete.
Gordon's here to say hi to Bruce and then witness the saving moment.
So is Alfred, I mean why put someone there if he's not adding anything to the story.
Penguin is stupid as ever, but in a stupid plot like this he makes a smart entry. But then invites everyone to a gala to introduce his tech. or alert and scare everyone?
There's no logic to the story, Perspective is off and what not.
I was so excited to see a new Batman title but man, am disappointed.
On the positive side, graphics are sleek, and the Batman looks good.

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.

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 freddie 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 just fighting a bunch of cheetah robots and those robots didn't put up much of a fight

This movie has a style that is different from most, if not all Batman movies so far. It is quite a bit lighter, brighter in the less serious sense. So if you're open to see something a bit different, you'll enjoy it. If you are hoping to see something that goes along with the previous Batman movies, you might feel that your expectations aren't met.
Had this movie tried to merge its colorful, somewhat more cartoony style with a serious, dark narrative that is usually a common thing to expect, given that it plays in Gotham, it would have failed to do so and felt really out of place. Instead it takes events a bit less serious, mixing well written, witty dialogue that has some quite entertaining moments with a story that is simple, but serves its purpose, resulting in a combination that works - if you're open to see these kind of things (and don't expect to be surprised by intricate plot-twists - other reviews pick up on this). That also makes this movie quite easy to stomach for the younger audiences. Style, story and dialogue have been chosen to work together, which is nice to see.
The animation quality is very much acceptable and up to the task, voice acting is very nice! No complaints there. The soundtrack is also good.
Enjoyed!

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 just a rotten cartoon. I honestly don't think it would entertain anyone over the age of six.
If you don't know what Batman Unlimited is, it's essentially a line Batman universe toys which, until now, didn't have any cartoon or comicbook to back them up. This movie attempts to do that for kids... but yeah, it's not even worth the $3.99 digital view price.
The first thing you'll notice on viewing it is that, unlike previous Direct-to-DVD DC Comics cartoons, this one doesn't fly under the "Warner Premier" banner. Meaning it has none the writing pedigree or production values of movies like "Under the Red Hood" or "Batman: Gotham Knight." And that shows in how full of plot holes and contrivances this toon is; such as the bat-dog-robot-motorcycle and the clumsy attempt to tie in the Batman Beyond suit, which is instantly forgotten to move on to the next in a line of "neon street luge batman" bat costumes you get throughout the viewing. Villains are given no more reason to work together and no more plot than the fact that they share an animal theme, and one of the heroes just happens to be hanging around Gotham City despite not even having a connection to Batman ever mentioned.
In other words, the movie is a 90 minute toy commercial, and it makes the original Thundercats and Silverhawks seem like Shakespeare by comparison.

"Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts" is pure fun and probably better than all of the gory cartoons, which were released recently /although I loved them as well!/. The movie is very nice, with great animation and charming cast of heroes, who fight beastly villains and try to uncover a nefarious plot of the Penguin! To be honest, I like this new Bat-team better than the Justice League or the Avengers - all of the selected heroes are my favorites! I am particularly happy that Nightwing is among them - he is a favorite of mine and I still hope that one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll see a movie, dedicated to him alone. But here he is still cool and so are the rest of heroes! Overall, the movie is great fun and non-stop action from the beginning to the end, which is always nice. Heartily recommended.
This animated movie marks the first appearance in animation for Red Robin.
------------------------
In a scene in the Batcave, the heroes are discussing the Animilitia and trading nicknames for them. Flash refers to the criminals as the "Animaniacs" which is a reference to the Warner Bros. cartoon of the same name.
------------------------
Has the heroes Batman, Red Robin, Nightwing, Flash and Green Arrow.
------------------------
Has the villains Silverback, Cheetah, Man-Bat, Killer Croc and Penguin.
------------------------
(at around 45 mins) Batman and Nightwing are seen on top of a building where they jump into a trap door. Nightwing goes down WAY before Batman but then it shows them at the bottom falling out and Batman comes out first.
