Alike Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts we see Batman and various other DC heroes facing off against another random villian team up in very kiddie friendly action set in a futuristic alternate universe.
This time The Joker leads Scarecrow, Silver Banshee, Solomon Grundy & Clayface in a plot to take over the world using a virus that renders electronic devices useless.
Much alike the first this is not a diehard Batman outing and more like a feature length Saturday morning cartoon. It however does have it's moments and is take your brain out entertainment at it's core.
One thing that does always bother me is Solomon Grundy, I adore the character he's freakin awesome so why is it that everytime he's in one of these things he's the comedic relief?
Batman Unlimited is one for the kids and one for huge Batman fans, but nobody in between.
The Good:
Batman rides a mechnical dinosaur, enough said
The Bad:
Why do they always make Solomon Grundy a comedy character?
Very "Kiddie"
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I don't remember Clayface being able to do half of that
Solomon Grundy should be ripping heads off not eating ice cream and playing hide and seek *Sadface*

Those who have watched animation series or played video games recently would be familiar to the voices in Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem. These are veteran actors who do the characters justice and the movie has the advantage of bringing them together for one spectacle. However, the plot is bland and lacking intensity of other DC animations.
Joker assembles his group of misfits to take over Gotham, while Batman is being helped by other vigilantes to stop the villainous act. It doesn't attempt to deliver thrill or alternate personalities like the previous animations and it definitely opts for a lighter tone. The mild vibe is clearly geared for younger audience with bits of humor as well as less visceral action.
The dubbing is definitely in high quality. Batman and Joker resemble their counterpart on the games, it might be slightly jarring to hear them in more vanilla fashion. Each of the superheroes, and also villains, is presented with their typical gimmicks, it's a nice showing for the troupe but it doesn't develop their characters much.
Animation is passable, it doesn't have the pace or well-choreographed fighting like Assault on Arkham. It does get the job done and some of the more futuristic details are appreciated. The action scenes consist of mostly one on one fight between the opposing forces, it's done pretty well albeit might be repetitive later on.
Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem is an average animation boosted by its great production on voice acting. It does entertain, but for fans wanting heavier intrinsic or presentation it may be a bit underwhelming.

'Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem' is a yet another impressive addition to Batman's legendary collection. This one's an entertaining & well-paced action extravaganza!
'Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem' Synopsis: The Joker is aided in his Halloween quest to render modern technology useless and take over Gotham City by Solomon Grundy, Silver Banshee, Clayface and Scarecrow.
Batman & The Joker's rivalry continues with 'Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem'. Although, there is nothing new in this tale, its a regular good versus bad story. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but there is no newness as for as the narrative goes.
Heath Corson's Screenplay offers much scope for some kicks action & also some twisted subplots. Butch Lukic's Direction is good. Graphics are awesome. Kevin Riepl's Score is super.
Vocal-Performances are note-worthy! Roger Craig Smith as Batman, is husky & tough enough. Troy Baker does justice in his portrayal of The Joker. Khary Payton as Cyborg, gets some terrific moments to perform & he does well. Chris Diamantopoulos as Green Arrow, Will Friedle as Nightwing & Yuri Lowenthal as Red Robin, are excellent. Fred Tatasciore as Solomon Grundy, is first-rate.
On the whole, 'Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem' works!

Riding on the success of Batman Unlimited Animal Insticts, this is a worthy sequel and will appeal to comic book lovers of the original Batman created by Bob Kane.
The plot of the animated film follows The Jokers devious plan to unleash a deadly computer virus and thereby bringing Gotham to its knees. Scarecrow, Clayface, Silver Banshee and Solomon Grundy have been recruited for by the Joker to aid him in his mission.
All the characters have been beautifully voice-acted, the Joker in particular by Troy Baker. Veteran actress Kari Wuhrer voice-acts Silver Banshee and Alastair Duncan who has starred in such cult films like Split Second (1992) and Tower of Terror (1997), voice-acts Alfred Pennyworth.
More Batman animated movies to see: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 1993, The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest 1997, Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero 1998, Batman Beyond: The Movie 1999, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker 2000, Batman Mystery Of The Batwoman 2003, The Batman vs. Dracula 2005, Batman: Gotham Knight 2008, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies 2009, Batman: Under the Red Hood 2010, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths 2010, Batman: Year One 2011, Justice League: Doom 2012, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1&2 2012/2013, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox 2013, Son of Batman 2014, Batman: Assault on Arkham 2014, Batman vs. Robin 2015.
By no means this is a complete list. Batman TV series both live-action and animated and also live-action movies are there.
Thank you for reading my review. May you live long and prosper.

It's Halloween in Gotham and the monsters are out to play. Recent escapees Solomon Grundy and Silver Banshee are blending in with the other costumed party goers and causing mayhem. They escape from Nightwing and Green Arrow with help from Scarecrow. They are on a mission. Commissioner Gordon seeks help from Cyborg after Scarecrow and Banshee steal an A. I. Grundy is stealing a giant battery for Joker. Batman spots a signal from computer game designer Gogo Shoto who is being kidnapped by Clayface.
This is slightly better than Animal Instincts, but not by much. It's usually better with the Joker anyways. This grouping is less gimmicky. The story does feel like written by an A. I. as much as being about an A. I. That may be a fill-in-the-blank situation. The virtual world is rather silly. They actually brought out Fatman. It's alright.

This flick ruins the DC animated movies. The story makes no sense, the title has zero connection to the actual story. It is like the Monster Mayhem, a marketing trick in order to get money by kids! At the time of the recording I am close to lose faith to the Cape Crusader for those movies are a shame to Bats' films.
As for the villains,totally underused and their plan is stupid to put it softly. The designs of the City and the characters are bad and only a kid under ten would like them. For the rest of the people who love the comics mythology this a must not see for it is an insult to us as fans, as devout audience and as humans in general!
To be honest, watching this film ache more than a kick to the head when I was in karate lessons. That is who much I despise it. Not watch it for any reason in God's Earth!
Man that was a piece of junk. It is along the Mayhem one of the worst animated films Ihave seeing and I have a pretty big record to show to prove it!
