WEST HEADLINES POST-PREMIERE PANEL
BURBANK,
CA (August 25, 2016) – In
poetically appropriate fashion, Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders
will have its World Premiere in Gotham itself as Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment debuts the full-length animated Batman feature film on
Thursday, October 6 at New York Comic Con.
Available
November 1, 2016 on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD, fans will get
their first chance to see the film during a two-hour premiere and
Panel starting at 5:30 PM on New York Comic Con’s Main Stage at the
Javits Center.
Adam
West (Batman)
headlines the post-premiere Panel alongside director Rick Morales
(LEGO®
DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash)
and screenwriters 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. Warner Bros. Animation President and the
film’s Executive Producer Sam Register will moderate the
festivities.
Produced
by
Warner
Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the film takes fans 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!
Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders
will be available to own on Digital HD starting October 11, 2016.
