DC Comics is attempting to attract a younger audience with these animated features. Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem is the sequel to Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts that I reviewed here. In this episode, the Joker with the help of Scarecrow, Clayface, Silver Banshee and Solomon Grundy terrorize Gotham City. I’m convinced that these animated films “orientate” new audience to the DC Universe and introduce characters (mostly villains) to the new viewers. If you’re a fan of Batman, you’ll enjoy this. GRADE: B
I’ll have to find out if my nieces are into these – oddly enough, they have so far (11 next month) showed little interest in comicbook characters …
Sergio, I think the production values on these BATMAN UNLIMITED Blu-rays are very good. I think they would hold the interest of your nieces (and you!).
I suppose it’s too much to ask that the animations once again reach the level of THE MASK OF THE PHANTASM…considering the live-action features only occasionally do. Very occasionally. Maybe not since BATMAN RETURNS.
Todd, there seems to be a DC animation style in these BATMAN UNLIMITED films. Everything is stylized.
