Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts

This is one of several Batman Unlimited movies that also went hand in hand with a short lived television series of the same name.

What sets them apart from the rest is the setting, the franchise is set in the future and has minor tweaks on the usual DC characters.

In this one we see Batman, Green Arrow, Red Robin, Flash & Nightwing take on The Penguin, the super villians working for him and his army of mechanical animals.

I really didn't like the setting, I'm very much not into this whole alternate universe thing. Top that off with this being very kiddie friendly and despite it being an award winning effort I was hardly impressed.

I do like the concept of the Animalitia (Animal Militia) but some childish writing really ruined it for me.

The Good:

Cheetah was great

The Bad:

Nightwings hair, really?!

Not keen on the future setting

Dialogue is laughable in places

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I found myself wondering how the DC Universe would have looked if they chose Manbat over Batman

Batman doesn't look at explosions

The Penguin has a fear of penguins, who knew?
