3''Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem'' is a direct-to-DVD animated film from Creator/DCComics and sequel to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedAnimalInstincts'' following Batman and a team of other DC heroes working to stop ComicBook/TheJoker as he teams-up with [[Characters/GreenLantern1941 Solomon Grundy]], Silver Banshee, Clayface, and ComicBook/{{the Scarecrow}} as they kidnap a video game developer and use him to take over the world. This was followed by ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedMechsVsMutants''.
4----
5!!This work provides examples of:
6* AIIsACrapshoot: Well, it is when Joker is the one giving it personality.
7* AttentionWhore: Clayface
8* BadBadActing: Clayface has his moments. He eventually just gives up trying during a confrontation with the heroes when trying to impersonate Batman.
9* BigBad: The Joker. He assembles a team of villains to assist him in shutting down all the power in Gotham and rebranding the town as Jokertown.
10* BigEater: Grundy
11-->'''Grundy:''' Grundy's got fast metabolism!
12* BloodlessCarnage: Grundy manages to beat up the security guards without a single death.
13* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: With Joker's virus disabling everything connected to the Internet, the heroes literally go to a history museum to fight Joker's {{Mecha}} with a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII WWII era]] [[CoolPlane fighter plane]], [[CoolBike motorcycles]] and a [[TankGoodness tank]].
14* BrickJoke: "Quick selfie?"
15* TheBrute: Grundy and Clayface.
16* ChewingTheScenery: Scarecrow nearly says the trope name outright when arguing with Clayface.
17* ContinuityNod: Batman still has Ace, the robotic wolf with the motorcycle form that he acquired from Penguin in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedAnimalInstincts.'' Red Robin's glider is a robotic bat from the film as well.
18* TheDragon: Scarecrow seems to fit this position best.
19* ElectrifiedBathtub: Batman lures Grundy into a tunnel of love ride and electrifies the water with a power cable.
20* EverythingIsOnline: Joker's virus shuts down everything electronic, including televisions, cars, and even police weapons (biometric scanners). Curiously, Nightwing manages to procure an outdated but still functioning cell phone.
21* FeedItABomb: Robin takes out Clayface by throwing one of his smoke grenades into his mouth, leading to an inflated head and a puff of smoke from his mouth. The next time they meet, he just throws explosives into Clayface's body; but this time, the bombs contain [[TakenforGranite quick drying cement]].
22* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: "Grundy loves Halloween!"
23* HalloweenEpisode: Takes place on Halloween.
24* KnockoutGas: On their second encounter, Green Arrow uses a knockout gas arrow to sedate Silver Banshee.
25* LighterAndSofter: As with the first movie, it provides a counterbalance to the grittier and more adult material of WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies.[[note]]And to the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', considering [[Creator/RogerCraigSmith three]] [[Creator/TroyBaker voice]] [[Creator/FredTatasciore actors]] reprise roles from that series in this movie.[[/note]]
26* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Joker forgets the Silver Banshee's name.
27* MythologyGag:
28** Scarecrow causes Nightwing to see visions of himself as Robin and in his first Nightwing costume.
29** [[Film/BatmanTheMovie Joker leads a group of villains in a plan to take over the world.]]
30** Even though the Joker calls himself "King of Gotham", he resembles ComicBook/EmperorJoker.
31** The futuristic buildings resemble the setting of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. WordOfGod says it was intentional.
32** Gladys Windsmere[[note]]Clayface in disguise[[/note]] mistaken ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} for [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Robotman]].
33** Gogo being blindfolded, similarly done in the [[Series/Batman1966 1966 series]].
34** The crowd at the parade [[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE1HolidayKnights wearing Joker masks]] (albeit forcibly).
35** Batman facing a digital Joker virus is similar to ''[[ComicBook/BatmanDigitalJustice Batman: Digital Justice]]'', only with the original Batman.
36* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailer made it seem like it was Joker kidnapping Cyborg was what caused the problems in the movie. While the virus does take control of Cyborg, it was actually them kidnapping Gogo that led to the virus's existence.
37* NotSoDifferentRemark: "Oh Bats, sometimes I think you're as crazy as I am."
38* PetTheDog: The Joker gives Grundy an ice cream...and actually an ice cream cone, not an explosive or anything. Sadly Grundy loses it after he is attacked by Nightwing.
39* PaperThinDisguise: Solomon Grundy breaks into a lab dressed as a pizza delivery boy, complete with scooter. He gets a little upset no one fell for it.
40* ShutUpHannibal: Nightwing overcomes Scarecrow's combination of fear gas and a breaking lecture.
41* SkySurfing: Red Robin has one in the form of a bird.
42* SpotTheImposter: Red Robin figures out which is Gogo Shoto and Clayface by asking them [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay something from Gogo's video game]].
43* StaticStunGun: At the parade, Nightwing uses his electrified batons to defeat Scarecrow.
44* StealthHiBye: Green Arrow manages this on Nightwing, although the later was probably expecting Batman to show up and didn't bother checking who was behind him.
45* TakeOverTheWorld: The Joker states this is his plan.
46* TakeTheWheel: During their joy ride, Silver Banshee tells Solomon Grundy to take the wheel so she can take out the cops that are following them. After ditching the cops, Grundy throws his arms in the air to celebrate, requiring Banshee to grab the wheel.
47* TapOnTheHead: Green Arrow beans Silver Banshee in the back of the head with a softball, and Nightwing takes out Scarecrow with a "knockout punch".
48* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
49** Joker's mech vs. Green Arrow in a tank.
50** Joker's PoweredArmor vs. Cyborg's fist.
51---> '''Joker''' (both times): Uh oh.
52* ThoseTwoGuys: Solomon Grundy and Silver Banshee are almost always seen together.
53* TrapDoor: Commissioner Gordon uses one to trap Solomon Grundy in the parade float.
54* TookALevelInBadass: Clayface can ''fly'' in this film. Not bad for a guy made out of mud.
