A ‘Batman’ Animated Movie and Series Are Headed to Amazon

Lower than two months after a serious Batman animated sequence that was initially deliberate for HBO Max shifted over to Amazon, the web retail big (and streaming service) introduced it has acquired two extra DC-related initiatives from Warner Bros.

The most recent are a pair of interconnected tales, each animated, for movie and TV. The primary known as Merry Little Batman and it sounds kind of like a cross between the Darkish Knight and House Alone, with Batman’s son Damian Wayne changing into “Little Batman” with the intention to defend Wayne Manor from villains on Christmas Eve. Then the identical variations of these DC characters will proceed on within the spinoff present Bat-Household, which follows Batman, Alfred and Damien (now the everlasting “Little Batman”) as they reside as a household of superheroes.

Morgan Evans wrote Merry Little Batman whereas Mike Roth directed it.

The Merry Little Batman and Bat-Household announcement comes on the heels of Amazon choosing up Batman: Caped Crusader, a much-anticipated animated sequence that was first introduced within the spring of 2021 and billed as a type of non secular continuation of the basic Nineties Batman: The Animated Collection. Initially supposed for HBO Max, Caped Crusader was left in limbo by the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and the company’s subsequent cost-cutting measures. Not like different canceled initiatives just like the doomed Batgirl movie, Caped Crusader in the end discovered a brand new house at Amazon — the place it is going to now be joined by Merry Little Batman and Bat-Household.

That’s excellent news for Batman followers, and for Prime Video subscribers. Why HBO doesn‘t need these initiatives, I can’t fairly fathom. However I’ll guess we’ll see what occurs to them after they debut on Amazon.
