Return of the Caped Crusader could well be the wackiest Batman animated movie we’ll ever see. Taking its influence from the Batman ’66 run, we now have a preview clip, sequel casting news and more to share.
DC have shared a video over on their Youtube Channel, previewing a scene involving the animated feature’s main villains. Check it out below:
Seeing an animated version of Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler and The Joker recreated in that classic style is a real treat. We can’t wait to see the full feature.
Even though Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders isn’t hitting shelves until the 1st November, the news that a sequel is in the works have already hit the Internet and, rather wonderfully, we have the first addition to the cast: William Shatner will be voicing Two-Face.
William. Friggin’. Shatner.
Shut the Internet down for the night, this is the best news you’ll hear tonight.
The sequel is penciled for a 2017 release.
Finally, sticking with the news surrounding the return to retro, the team up old school fans never got is coming to comics: Batman ’66 is teaming up with Wonder Woman ’77.
Coming from co-writers Marc Andreyko and Jeff Parker, and art by David Hahn and Karl Kesel, with it running for six issues.
Andreyko teased what we’ll be seeing, saying “The first two issues take place in 1944 with a 12-year-old Bruce Wayne. The second two take place in ’66. The final two in ’77. We’re introducing a villain who’s never been used on either of the shows but is super-famous in the comic books.”
DC also shared the following images:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
