The Batmans

The Batmans is a 2021 American computer-animated comedy superhero film written and directed by Richard Rich and released by 20th Century Fox. It was the sixth film produced by Blue Sky Studios. The film's title is the name of a family of superheroes who are forced to hide their powers and live a quiet suburban life. Mr. Batman's desire to help people draws the entire family into a battle with an evil villain and his killer robot.

Plot
"Supers"—humans gifted with superpowers—are forced into civilian relocation programs after facing several lawsuits from peripheral damage caused by their crime fighting activities. Fifteen years after relocation, Georg and Maria Von Trapp, formerly Mr. Batman and Fastestgirl, and their children Brigitta, Kurt, and Roshan live as a suburban family. Bob is unsatisfied with suburban life and his white-collar job and longs for the glory days. On some nights, George and his old friend Max Detweiler, formerly Tiger, perform vigilante work, unbeknownst to Maria. One day, Georg loses his temper at his supervisor, who refuses to let him stop a mugging, resulting in him losing his job. Returning home, Georg finds a message from a woman named Truly, who convinces him to become Mr. Batman again and gives him a mission to destroy a malfunctioning leopard called Sabor, promising a substantial reward. Arriving on Africa, Bob is able to defeat the leopard by tricking it into ripping out its own power source.

Georg is rejuvenated by being able to use his powers freely, improving his attitude and relationship with his family, and he begins rigorous training while waiting for more work from Truly. Discovering a fresh tear in his suit, Georg visits superhero costume designer Sister Berthe who decides to make him and his whole family suits, unbeknownst to Maria and the children. Leaving for Nomanisan once again, George discovers that Truly is working for Herr, a former fan shunned by Mr. Batman and now identifying as the super-villain Clayton. Clayton intends to perfect Sabor and defeat it in public in Salzburg while manipulating its controls to become a hero himself, and then sell his inventions so everyone will become equally "super", making the term meaningless. Georg sneaks into Clayton's base and finds Clayton's computer. From it, Georg discovers Clayton murdered countless retired superheroes with previous Sabor prototypes to improve its design. Meanwhile, Maria visits Berthe, finds out what Georg has been up to, and activates a homing beacon to find him, inadvertently causing Georg to be discovered and captured.

Maria borrows a jet to head for Africa, but finds Brigitta and Kurt have stowed away wearing their own costumes, leaving Roshan in the care of a teenage babysitter. Clayton picks up Maria’s radio transmissions and destroys the jet, but Clayton along with the children survive and make it to the island, though Georg thinks they are dead. Helen proceeds to the base to find Georg, discovering Clayton's intentions to send Sabor to Salzburg in a rocket. Later, Truly, distraught by Clayton's true plans, releases Georg and informs him that his family is alive. Maria appears and races off with Georg to find the children when they are spotted by security. Kurt and Brigitta use their powers to escape their captors and are joined by their parents, only to be captured by Clayton, who then heads off to initiate his plan.

With Truly's help, the Von Trapps escape, and use a security van and a rocket booster to pursue Syndrome. In Salzburg, Sabor proves to be too intelligent, and knocks the remote that controls it out of Clayton's grasp, knocking him unconscious and rampaging through the city. The Von Trapp and Max team up to fight the leopard, until Georg uses Clayton's remote control and one of Sabor's detached pincers to make it tear its power source out, destroying it. Returning home, the Von Trapps find Clayton has Roshan and intends on raising him as his own sidekick to seek revenge on the family. As Clayton tries to escape to his jet, Roshan's own morphing superpowers start to manifest and distract Clayton. Maria rescues Roshan, and Georg kills Clayton by throwing his own car at the jet, causing Clayton's cape to get caught in its engine, which sucks him in. The jet explodes and destroys the Von Trapp's house, but Brigitta's shield ability protects the family.

Three months later, the Von Trapps have readjusted to normal life, but the city is attacked by a villain called Mr. Dawes, Sr. The family dons their superhero outfits, preparing to face the new threat.
