Christmas is coming, and Amazon Prime has finally announced the airdate for their new movie for the festive season: Merry Little Batman.
The animated project was originally announced two years ago, before many works were scrapped when the old guard in charge of DC film and TV projects moved on, and were replaced by James Gunn and Peter Safran. It’s nice that this one has been successfully finished.
Coming to Prime Video on December 8th, in more than 240 countries, Merry Little Batman is an animated action-comedy for the whole family to enjoy.
Maybe this year, we won’t be singing about how Batman smells, and there will be many more treats for DC fans the closer we get to the holidays.
Here’s the premise:
Merry Little Batman is an animated family action comedy destined to join the rogue’s gallery of classic holiday movies. When young Damian Wayne finds himself alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve, he must transform into “Little Batman” in order to defend his home and Gotham City from the crooks and supervillains intent on destroying the holidays.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Yonas Kibreab, Luke Wilson, James Cromwell, and David Hornsby will lend their voices, in as yet unspecified roles.
Directed by Mike Roth (Regular Show, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), and screenplay by Morgan Evans (Teen Titans, Go!, Earth to Ned) and Jase Ricci (Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)). Roth is also an executive producer alongside Sam Register (Looney Tunes cartoons, Teen Titans).
All voice records and writing concluded prior to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
