Scooby-Doo Meets Batman (2002)

Scooby-Doo Meets Batman (2002)

Dir. William Hanna + Joseph Barbera

Oh, dear. The Bat-barrel has a bottom and it's been thoroughly Scooby-scraped. It's a pair of Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo movies released on one disc, namely 1972's The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair and The Caped Crusader Caper. Admittedly, the two franchises have something in common, with both parties concerned with solving crimes in their own respective titles, but it's still an odd pairing.

Batman enlists the help of the Scooby gang in apprehending The Joker and Penguin because he's too incompetent to do it himself. While the talking dog and his human get up to their usual antics on the ground, Batman's bum-crack chin and disappearing pants flaff around in the Batplane with Boy Wonder.

It's one for Scooby fans more than Batman fans. I don't belong to that club, so can't comment further.
