Well, here’s something that I never realised anyone wanted but HBO Max and Cartoon Network are going to give us anyway.
A Batmobile animated series is coming… no, really.
Warner Bros. Animation has started production on an animated preschool series called “Batwheels,” which will star some of the most iconic vehicles from across the DC universe, fighting crime in Gotham City alongside the usual squad of Batman, Robin, Batgirl and more.
The show’s main crime-fighting crew is led by Bam (The Batmobile), and also includes Bibi (The Batgirl Cycle), Red (The Redbird), Jett (The Batwing) and Buff (The Bat Truck). Together, the sentient super-powered vehicles must navigate the growing pains of being a newly-formed super team, as well as the growing pains that come with just being a kid.
So, it’s kind of like Cars, only set in the DC Universe? Well, the toys should be cool…
Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, said of the series: “From ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ to ‘Teen Titans Go!,’ superhero storytelling has definitely been one of our superpowers here at Warner Bros. Animation,” added Register. “We are so excited to bring that expertise over to the preschool space and take something that all kids love, cool vehicles, and give it a turbo boost with Batman!”
Hey, look, if anything brings Batman into the home of younger viewers, making new fans, then I’m all for it.
And yes, I’ll definitely look myself.
What say you all?
