BURBANK,
CA (AUGUST 2017) – Warner
Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment bring together two of pop
culture’s all-time heroes – TV’s original Batman and Captain
Kirk, Adam West and William Shatner, respectively – to voice the
title characters in the full-length, animated feature film, Batman
vs. Two-Face.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will make the all-new movie available
October 10, 2017 on Digital and October 17, 2017 on Blu-ray™ Combo
Pack ($24.98
SRP) and
DVD ($19.98
SRP).
As
the sequel to the 2016 hit animated film Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders,
the all-new Batman
vs. Two-Face
finds Batman and Robin back in classic 1960s action, protecting
Gotham City from some of the most nefarious villains in comics
history. But when the mutilated master of multiplicity, Two-Face,
begins staging a daring crime wave across Gotham, the Caped Crusaders
must work double-time to discover his mysterious secret identity
before they can halt his evil-doing – all the while combating the
likes of Catwoman, Joker, Riddler, Penguin, Bookworm, Hugo Strange
and King Tut!
The
late Adam West leads the star-studded cast in his final performance
as Batman. The beloved actor delivers an inspired turn opposite
fellow pop culture icon William Shatner (Star
Trek)
as the criminally conflicted Harvey Dent/Two-Face. This is only the
second production of any kind to feature the two titans of the fanboy
realm together. West and Shatner first teamed in the 1963 “Alexander
The Great” television series that never made it past the pilot.
The
cast also boasts two more pop culture icons of the 1960s. Burt Ward
is back for more “holy” fun as the Boy Wonder himself, Robin, and
Tony Award winner Julie Newmar reprises her role as the fiendish
feline, Catwoman.
The
voice cast includes Jeff Bergman (Joker, Bookworm, Desmond Dumas),
Sirena Irwin (Dr. Quinzel), Thomas Lennon (Chief O’Hara), Lee
Meriwether (Lucilee Diamond), William Salyers (Penguin), Lynne Marie
Stewart (Aunt Harriet), Jim Ward (Hugo Strange, Commissioner Gordon),
Steven Weber (Alfred, Two-Face henchmen) and Wally Wingert (Riddler,
King Tut).
The
core Batman:
Return of the Caped Crusaders
filmmaking team reprises their roles for Batman
vs. Two-Face.

DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash)

Titans Go!)
and James Tucker (Teen

“Batman
vs. Two-Face
is a must-have for all Batman fans featuring a cavalcade of his foes,
and an amazing cast including two giants of pop culture, Adam West
and William Shatner,”
said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice
President, Family & Animation Marketing. “Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment is excited to bring these beloved characters to
animated life, and proud to have been associated with an actor as
