Animation: the film <em>Merry Little Batman<\/em> and its spin-off series <em>Bat-Family<\/em>, and a two-season order of <em>Batman: Caped Crusader<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Merry Little Batman<\/em> will see a young Damian Wayne transform into \u201cLittle Batman\u201d to defend his home and Gotham City from the supervillains intent on destroying Christmas. Bat-Family will follow the events of the film and see Batman, Alfred and young Damian Wayne navigate life as a super family.<\/p>\n<p><em>Merry Little Batman<\/em> is being directed by Mike Roth (<em>Regular Show<\/em>) from a screenplay by Morgan Evans (<em>Teen Titans Go!<\/em>). Roth also serves as executive producer, alongside Sam Register. <em>Bat-Family<\/em> will be executive produced by Jase Ricci, Roth and Register.<\/p>\n<p><em>Batman: Caped Crusader<\/em>, meanwhile, is a co-production between Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions and 6th &amp; Idaho that is being executive produced by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves. The series will provide a reimagining of the <em>Batman<\/em> mythology.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Video will premiere all three titles exclusively in more than 240 countries and territories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> helped pioneer the evolution of superhero storytelling and defined the Dark Knight for a generation,\u201d said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios. \u201c<em>Batman: Caped Crusader<\/em> will no doubt continue that tradition, and, alongside<em> Merry Little Batman<\/em> and <em>Bat-Family<\/em>, we\u2019re thrilled to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation to offer a variety of takes of the <em>Batman<\/em> mythos to our global Prime Video customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to partner with Amazon to begin an all-new animated chapter of <em>Batman<\/em>,\u201d added Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. \u201cFrom the cinematic noir storytelling of <em>Batman: Caped Crusader<\/em> to the comedic adventures of <em>Merry Little Batman<\/em> and <em>Bat-Family<\/em>, these new projects ensure that there will be an animated <em>Batman<\/em> story ready to excite fans of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Video has picked up three new animated Batman projects from Warner Bros.
