Warner Bros. and DC Bringing BATMAN Animated Movie MERRY LITTLE BATMAN and Spinoff Series BAT-FAMILY to Amazon
Amazon has announced that they have acquired a couple of cool new animated Batman projects from Warner Bros. and DC. The studio has confirmed its previously reported two-season order for Matt Reeves, J.J. Abrams, and Bruce Timm’s animated Batman: Caped Crusader series. And now, Amazon has picked up an original animated film titled Merry Little Batman, and an animated spinoff series titled Bat-Family.
Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, said in a statement:
“Batman: The Animated Series helped pioneer in the evolution of superhero storytelling and defined the Dark Knight for a generation. Batman: Caped Crusader will no doubt continue that tradition and, alongside Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation to offer a variety of takes of the Batman mythos to our global Prime Video customers.”
Merry Little Batman is described as a family action-comedy that sees young Damian Wayne transforming into “Little Batman” in order to defend his home and Gotham from the villains who want to destroy the holidays. Mike Roth (Regular Show) directs the animated feature that features a screenplay by Morgan Evans (Teen Titans Go!). Roth also executive produces alongside Warner Bros. Animation chief Sam Register.
Spinoff series Bat-Family follows Batman, Alfred and young Damian Wayne — who has now taken on the mantle of “Little Batman” — alongside a few newcomers to Wayne Manor as they navigate the fun and frustrations of life as a super family. Jase Ricci, Mike Roth and Register executive produce the series.
