BURBANK,
CA (August 23, 2016) – Warner
Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment take Batman fans on a journey
into the iconic past with the full-length animated Batman feature
film – Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders.
The film features the vocal performances of Adam West (Batman), Burt
Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman). Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders
will be available November 1, 2016 on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack ($24.98

SRP). Order

Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders

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.
