A ‘Batman’ Animated Film and Collection Are Headed to Amazon

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

The newest are a pair of interconnected tales, each animated, for movie and TV. The primary is known as Merry Little Batman and it sounds form of like a cross between the Darkish Knight and Residence Alone, with Batman’s son Damian Wayne changing into “Little Batman” so as 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 stay 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 selecting up Batman: Caped Crusader, a much-anticipated animated sequence that was first introduced within the spring of 2021 and billed as a form of religious continuation of the traditional Nineteen Nineties Batman: The Animated Collection. Initially meant 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 residence at Amazon — the place it should 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.
