Batman Unlimited: Mechs vs. Mutants is a direct-to-video animated superhero film and the third entry in the Batman Unlimited series. It premiered on July 24, 2016, at San Diego Comic-Con International, to be followed by a digital release on August 30, 2016 and a DVD release on September 13, 2016.
Damian, the new Robin, is upset by his failure at trying to stop The Joker the previous evening, making his humiliation of falling off a building and having to be saved by Batman worse because it was caught by a video blogger and posted on the Net. Alfred Pennyworth tries to assure him that he's still learning, though Damian wishes he could talk to someone else who has been through the Robin training as Red Robin is away with his team. Batman arrives as Damian is studying Batman's enemies, and comes across Penguin, who he has never met. In the Arctic, Penguin, who has been in exile following the events of Batman Unlimited:Animal Instincts, is depressed at having lost everything. His only companion is Buzz, a penguin who seems to understand Oswald's predicament. His roommate, the isolationist-scientist Mr. Freeze, tries to repel a group of oil drillers near his ice cave, using one of his inventions to turn an isopod into a gigantic monster to attack them. The Drillers use a new laser-drilling sled to turn the monster back into an isopod, which causes Freeze to depart in anger. Oswald sees a way to capitalize on this, and encourages Freeze to take him back to Gotham where he assures Freeze the means to achieve his goals.
Back in Gotham, Bruce and Damian are attending the new Technology Showcase at Wayne Tower, where Dr. Kirk Langstrom is unveiling a new single-operator drilling mech, which can melt rock in order to mine more easily. Bruce receives a call from Alfred that someone is attempting to break into Arkham Asylum. Oliver Queen, who is present at the showcase, sees them leave and follows them.
