Unreleased? I always thought it had been released.

I saw a couple of times and

How can you have voice talent like Mark Hamill and John de Lance, and it ends up...........like this?

You have Mark Hammil voice-acting, you have the same style of Batman The Animated Series, possibly one of the greatest cartoons ever made, you have a director that worked in this same cartoon and in its full-length Mask of the Phantasm... and you still fail.

But although a great fan of Jim Lee, J. Scott Campbell and Brandon Choi, I guess the group Gen¹³ doesn't help much, so you couldn't expect something really good.

The reasons why in my honest opinion Gen 13: the Animated movie sucks:

1) The animation feels like below average 90s cartoon show is often is below that.

2) The story is boring and dull.

3) The voice acting is awful. Hamil is just seems to be dialing in a less maniacal version of the Joker. Both De Lancie and Leachman are horribly miscast and feel like their characters are in the wrong movie.

4) The film wants to be both a family film and a more "mature" anime style action movie like Ninja Scroll in the worst ways possible, more graphic violence and titillation, but fails to either of those things right and instead chickens out of the violence being less shocking and less visceral more badly handled and comes off as either comical or out of place. The titillation is not sexy or even creepy, it's out of place and bland.

5) The character designs don't work.

6) The heroes are all uninteresting, dull, and stupid that I don't care about them.

The only thing interesting about this film is it's convoluted post-production history and why it not had an official mass release in the US, which when your read about isn't all that interesting as it just petty and stupid studio reasons but then again it being a legally lost film might be the best thing about and for it especially since the damn thing can easily found and watched on YouTube and both WB and Disney don't want to deal with it.
