Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC Entertainment (via Comic Book Resources) have debuted the trailer for their upcoming animated film "Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts," which ties into an upcoming line of action figures based around the Dark Knight and some costumed friends (Flash, Green Arrow, Red Robin and Nightwing).
According to the official film synposis:
"When Gotham City is plagued by a slew of bizarre crimes committed by the animal-inspired villain squad, known as the Animilitia, made up of Silverback, Cheetah, Killer Croc and Man-Bat, Batman must swing into action to investigate. These animalistic villains bring new and exciting challenges for Batman, who must find a way to bring these criminal creatures to justice! But could the Animilitia be working for powerful businessman Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. The Penguin? In the end, it'll take the combined forces of Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, Nightwing and Red Robin to fight off these Animal Instincts."
The trailer looks pretty cool at first blush, but upon watching it a second time I noticed how many costume changes Batman has in about a minute and half. There were at least five by my count. Now, I know this is all about showing off these new outfits and selling the related toys, but c'mon, try to be a little less obvious, WB/DC.
"Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts" will hit Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on May 12.
