A fully detailed synopsis and Blu-ray featurette descriptions for Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders are now available.  The film is a full-length feature from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment that showcases voice-acting from members of the old-school 1960s Batman, including Adam West as Batman, Burt Ward as Robin, and Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

We may not expect to see such actors reprise their roles as said characters in live-action Batman films, but now we can certainly look forward to a continuation or extension of the beloved Batman universe we left behind in the 1960s.  Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, and Joker have joined forces in order to hatch a troublesome scheme against Batman and Robin…and the Dynamic Duo may have to pay a visit to…outer space.

BURBANK, CA (August 23, 2016) – Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment take Batman fans on a journey into the iconic past with the full-length animated Batman feature film – Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. The film features the vocal performances of Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman).

It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!

Adam West steps behind the microphone to bring Batman to fully animated fruition. Burt Ward joins the fun as Batman’s sidekick, Robin, giving The Boy Wonder his voice in animated form. And Julie Newmar, star of stage (Tony Award winner for The Marriage-Go-Round) and screen (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), dons her feline ears to bring Catwoman to life.
