I know it won't be release till May, but the preview is already out:
Looks interesting. Kind of a commercial with all those costume changes, but I think that's alright. Cool to see Tim in it as Red Robin, and Green Arrow and Flash give it a Brave and the Bold team up vibe.

Am I the only one who digs the character designs? It's obviously being made to sell toys but it looks fun, although I wish there were some female heroes in there. Also, Cheetah would NEVER work for Penguin.

A few of the designs are weird, but a few are great. The Batman design looks better animated than I expected, like that black and red costume he wore in some scenes, Red Robin looks cool I think, and Green Arrow is right.
And yeah, a female hero would have been nice (Batgirl or Batwoman too much to ask for?) but still an interesting group.
As for Cheetah, cartoons are different versions anyway (does she hate Penguin in comics, or just never works for anyone?).

She's just way too much of a big league to be working for guys like Penguin. Too powerful and too high-profile to be teaming up with Gotham's rogues. The same goes for Gorilla Grodd. But yeah, it's just a kids cartoon, not a huge deal.

I'm excited for this, and I'm glad to see a better response here than this one other place I went to. I think my son and I will love this!

I chalk that up to the same reason Lex is often the leader of the Legion of Doom despite not having powers. Sometimes supervillains just want to get paid. And fight heroes.

Where else did you go?
Comments here are usually fairly positive.

Well, being a father with a kid may color your response / desire. I'm an old guy with no kids, and while I often enjoy many of the more kid/all-ages oriented stuff (like the comic book versions of All-New Batman: The Brave & the Bold; Beware the Batman; Batman: Li'l Gotham; etc.), the toys I've seen for this Batman line look cheap and cheesy, and I doubt an "animated movie" will be much better.
Oh, and by the way, I do own a number of the Fisher-Price imaginext Batman villains . . . they just look fun hanging around my computer.

I thought the Fisher-Price Hero World Super-friends were better than the dinky Imaginext but I guess I was wrong.
I thought JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time looked better than this Batman Unlimited; I guess I could be wrong again.

I wasn't considering it--until I saw Nightwing.

I'm a not a big fan of the character designs or the animation. But the voice acting is superb and I'm really excited to see Red Robin in action! The plot seem very interesting too so I'll definitely be giving this a watch.

It is encouraging to see DC cartoons continue to embrace the idea of multiple Robins; with the exception of The Dark Knight Returns, I think every DC Original Movie starring Batman exists in a continuity with multiple Robins, with Nightwing being the consistent "graduate."
For cartoon universes with multiple Robins, we've got:
Under The Red Hood (Jason and Dick)
Son of Batman (Damian and Dick)
Assault on Arkham (technicality; the games confirm all three of the first Robins)
Batman VS Robin (Damian and Dick)
Young Justice (Tim and Dick are featured, Jason has a memorial)
Batman: Brave and the Bold (Nightwing, and Damian suits up in one episode, right?)
DCAU (Dick and Tim)
Animal Instincts (Dick and Tim)
Cartoons without multiple Robins:
The Batman (has Nightwing)
Beware the Batman
Teen Titans (has Nightwing)
And we've got that Titans TV show in development, with signs pointing towards Duck about to transition to Nightwing.

The Dark Knight Returns technically had the multiple people have been Robin idea. We learn Dick Grayson and Bruce have drifted apart (sadly) and Jason Todd was still dead. So two Robins before Carrie Kelly. Dick didn't seem to be Nightwing, but Superman seemed to be the only still active hero in America.
Teen Titans (has Nightwing)
Also, the theory is Jason Todd was Red X, but not official.
