If you have preschool age kids, or just love superhero rides, Warner Bros. Animation announced a new animated series today that you and your kids might enjoy. Batwheels is set to be an action adventure series featuring the rides of the Bat Family brought to life. The series is set to air on both HBO Max and Cartoon Network, intended for preschool age kids. Nothing wrong with getting the fandom going early!
As far as characters go, you’ll see: Bam (The Batmobile), the Batwheels – Bibi (The Batgirl Cycle), Red (The Redbird), Jett (The Batwing) and Buff (The Bat Truck). They are described as “kids with little to no life experience.” That is sure to lead to some growing pains. They were created by the Batcomputer though, so you know they’re awesome.
The synopsis is pretty simple: “They are a team of incredible crimefighters who have banded together to oppose evil, combat crime and clean up the streets of Gotham City. They are…okay, they’re NOT Batman and Robin. They’re the Batwheels – an awesome group of sentient super-powered crime-fighting vehicles defending Gotham City alongside Batman, Robin, Batgirl and a host of DC Super Heroes.”
The great Sam Register will serve as executive producer. He will be joined by Michael G. Stern (Doc McStuffins) serves as co-executive producer, Simon J. Smith (Baymax Dreams) is supervising producer and Steven Fink of Bang Zoom Ltd. is producer.
Speaking on the series, Register says, “From Batman: The Animated Series to Teen Titans Go!, superhero storytelling has definitely been one of our superpowers here at Warner Bros. Animation. We are so excited to bring that expertise over to the preschool space and take something that all kids love, cool vehicles, and give it a turbo boost with Batman!”
No release date has been given. Keep checking back for updates.
