SALYERS (PENGUIN) COMPLEMENT JULIE NEWMAR’S CATWOMAN TO FORM
VILLAINOUS QUARTET IN ANIMATED FILM
The
spotlight shines on far more than the core trio of iconic stars of
Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders.
With the likes of primetime television veterans Steven
Weber
and Thomas
Lennon
leading the way, the full-length animated feature film boasts a
supporting cast of notable voices from across all entertainment
mediums and some of the best-loved animated properties.
Adam
West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) own top
billing, but Weber (Wings,
iZombie, NCIS: New Orleans)
and Lennon (The
Odd Couple, Reno 911!)
– as trustworthy butler Alfred Pennyworth and Chief O’Hara,
respectively – headline an impressive array of actors who were
excited to give voice to a role in a Batman film.
In
addition to Weber and Lennon, the cast includes:
- Jeff Bergman as the Joker and the revered Announcer. Bergman is well known as a voice of Bugs Bunny for more than a quarter of a century on series like Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production, The Looney Tunes Show and Tiny Toon Adventures, and has provided a wide variety of impressions of live and animated celebrities (from Fred Flintstone and Homer Simpson to John Goodman and Paul Sorvino) for Family Guy.
- William Salyers as The Penguin. Salyers is the actor behind the beloved Rigby in the longtime animated hit The Regular Show, and has voiced characters in wildly popular video games like Mass Effect 2 & 3, and Fallout 4.
- Wally Wingert as The Riddler. Wingert, an avid Batman ’66 fan, has been featured as Cubot for Sonic Boom, a regular in popular anime series like Bleach and Naruto: Shippuden, and has voiced a plethora of characters (from Austin Powers to The Grinch) for the Family Guy animated series. He maintains a strong connection to the Dark Knight as the voice of Edward Nigma/The Riddler for the Batman: Arkham series of video games.
- Lynne Marie Stewart as Aunt Harriett. Stewart burst on the entertainment scene in the 1970s with roles in American Graffiti, M*A*S*H and Laverne & Shirley. Most recently seen in hit films (Bridesmaids) and TV series (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Stewart holds a particular affection in the hearts of Pee-wee Herman fans for her recurring role in the Paul Reubens character’s films and TV series as Miss Yvonne.
- Jim Ward as Commissioner Gordon. Ward has provided voices for hundreds of animated films, TV series and video games, including multiple roles for Ben 10, and as Captain Qwark for Ratchet & Clank. He is well known for voicing Chet Ubetcha on The Fairly Oddparents, and Professor Charles Xavier in Wolverine and the X-Men.
- Sirena Irwin as TV show host Miranda Moore. Irwin is a regular contributor on the ever-popular SpongeBob SquarePants animated series, and has made a pair of notable voice “appearances” in the DC Universe Original Movies Justice League: Throne of Atlantis and Superman: Unbound.

Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders
Synopsis:
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!
