Hello Scooby fans and Batman fans these two franchises are no strangers to each other when it comes to crossovers with the Mystery Inc gang teaming up with Batman on several occasions in the past but this is the first time that a crossover has taken place in a feature film so let's find out if it's any good.
The plot of this movie is Batman enlists the help of Mystery Inc to help him solve one of his few unsolved cases when new information shows up. Meanwhile they also have to deal with a new mysterious villain who calls himself the 'Crimson Cloak' who is planning to take over Gotham City. I have to admit the story for the most part is really easy to follow and you don't know where the story is really going i say it's easy for the most part because in the final battle it does get a little hard to follow.
In this movie we have the Scooby regulars Frank Welker , Matthew Lillard , Grey Griffin who's also returning as Black Canary and Kate Micucci and representing the Brave and The Bold cast we have Diedrich Bader , Tara Strong , Nika Futterman and John Michael Higgins. I have to say that the acting in the movie was really good but that's not really a surprise considering who's in the cast Diedrich sounds good as Batman the only person who sounded strange to me was Nika Futterman as catwoman and that's just because i'm not used to hearing her as the character.
I thought that the mystery aspect of the film was quite lacking and by that i mean the movie gives you no hints at all as to who the culprit is it just comes from out of know where in the third act so i feel that the makers of the movie could have out a little more effort into making a good solid mystery.
After being scared by the terrible animation of the last Tom and Jerry movie i'm quite please to say that the animation in this crossover film isn't that bad there's alot of good facial expressions and that helps sell some of the comedy alot more. There's also some great movement from the characters which was something i never thought i'd get in a crossover movie.
This is more of a comedic Batman movie but with that being said the comedy isn't really that funny Plastic Man does get a few funny lines here and there but that's really it and there's a great reference to Scooby-Doo creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and there's a kinda funny moment where they make fun of the fact that Shaggy and Scooby are always the bate when it comes to the plans.
Since this is also a superhero movie there is a few action scenes but since this is a kids film they don't actually show that much of it instead they insert white flashes which get old quick and when they don't do that the action mostly consists to villains being thrown into things and that's really all you get into of fights.
The Scooby-Doo! films usually have some cool looking intro with some pretty decent music but for this film both the intro and the music were pretty dull looking and dull sounding honestly i could have fallen asleep during the intro it was that dull.
Overall this is an average Scooby-Doo! movie i admit it's not as bad as thought it would be but it's also not as good as i think it could've been if you have either little kids or a little niece or nephew who love either Scooby-Doo! or Batman then i see no harm in showing them this movie but for me it's a perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect 5 out of 10.
