Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders Trailer Released
The iconic, beloved Batman 1960s TV series is making a comeback, well an animated comeback, of sorts. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing a new DC animated movie, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, which will feature the Batman and Robin actors from the seminal live-action series, Adam West and Burt Ward, returning in their respective roles of the Dynamic Duo. You can check out the new trailer for the movie, featuring some new footage, in the player below. The film arrives on Digital HD in October and Blu-ray in November.
Here’s an official synopsis for the project:
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.
Rick Morales (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash) directs from a script by Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go!) and James Tucker (Justice League vs. Teen Titans).. Tucker and Jelenic also serve as Supervising Producer and Producer, respectively, on the film. Sam Register is Executive Producer. Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are Executive Producers.
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders arrives on Digital HD on October 11. It will then hit Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on November 1. You can also check out the Blu-ray cover artwork below.
