New DC Animated Kid Series BATWHEELS Will Focus on DC's Heroic Vehicles
Warner Bros. Animation is developing a new series for preschool-aged kids titled Batwheels. The show will revolve around the most heroic and iconic vehicles from the DC Comics universe. The vehicles make up a team of crimefighters who band together to fight against evil, combat crime and clean up the streets of Gotham City.
Here’s the information on the series that was shared:
The Batwheels are sentient superpowered crime-fighting vehicles defending Gotham City alongside Batman, Robin, Batgirl and a host of DC superheroes. Having just been created by the Batcomputer, our heroes are essentially kids with little to no life experience. Led by Bam (The Batmobile), the Batwheels – Bibi (The Batgirl Cycle), Red (The Redbird), Jett (The Batwing) and Buff (The Bat Truck) – 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. This relatable and aspirational series will follow the journey of this dynamic team as they thrill and entertain with their heroic adventures as well as demonstrate to kids the value of self-confidence, friendship and teamwork.
Sam Register (Looney Tunes Cartoons) serves as executive producer on the series, and he said in a statement:
“From Batman: The Animated Series to Teen Titans Go!, superhero storytelling has definitely been one of our superpowers here at Warner Bros. Animation. 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.”
Tom Ascheim, President of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics, added:
“Batwheels is the perfect show to headline our new foray into preschool. I can’t wait for all the aspiring superheroes out there to meet this whole new batch of crime-fighters.”
Batwheels will premiere on Cartoon Network and HBO Max and across Cartoon Net’s global platforms. Sounds like the kind of show that kids will enjoy!
