TOGETHER
AGAIN AFTER 45 YEARS IN AN ALL-NEW ANIMATED FILM
BURBANK,
CA
(November 1, 2017) – The ultimate crime-solving combination
reunites when Batman joins the Mystery Inc. gang to catch a gaggle of
villains wreaking havoc in Scooby-Doo!
& Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the all-new
original film will be distributed January 9, 2018 by Warner Bros.
Home Entertainment on DVD ($19.98 SRP) and Digital.
Super
sleuths Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma join forces with
the world’s greatest detective, Batman, when they discover that
villains from both of their respective rogues’ galleries have also
combined efforts to terrorize the city. With Scooby snacks in tow,
the crime-fighting teams encounter classic Batman foes (Joker,
Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn) and
allies (The Question, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter) along
with a bevy of fiends from Scooby-Doo lore (Spooky Space Kook,
Gentleman Ghost, Miner 49er, Ghost Clown). As always, you won’t
know who the ultimate villain is until those “meddling kids” pull
off the mask!
Avid
Scooby-Doo fans know this isn’t the first time the Caped Crusader
has partnered with Mystery Incorporated. Forty-five years ago, Batman
(and Robin) were the featured guest stars in a pair of The
New Scooby-Doo Movies.
Premiering in 1972, the renowned detectives worked to solve crimes
together in the hour-long television movies entitled The
Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair
and The
Caped Crusader Caper.
Diedrich
Bader, who voiced the Dark Knight in the fan-favorite Batman:
The Brave and the Bold
animated television series, reprises his role for this all-new film
alongside the longtime Scooby-Doo voice cast of Frank Welker
(Scooby-Doo & Fred), Grey Griffin (Daphne and Black Canary),
Matthew Lillard (Shaggy) and Kate Micucci (Velma). The guest cast
includes Jeff Bennett (Joker), Jeffrey Combs (The Question), John
DiMaggio (Aquaman), Nika Futterman (Catwoman), Nicholas Guest
(Martian Manhunter), John Michael Higgins (The Riddler), Tom Kenny
(Penguin, Plastic Man), Kevin Michael Richardson (Detective Chimp),
Tara Strong (Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy) and Fred Tatasciore (Harvey
Bullock).
Jake
Castorena directs the teleplay by Paul Giacoppo, based on a story by
supervising producer James Tucker. Michael Jelenic is the producer.
Executive Producer is Sam Register. Benjamin Melniker and Michael
Uslan are Executive Producers.
“Scooby-Doo
continues to be one of the most popular kids’ brands in the Warner
Bros. canon, and we are thrilled to reunite the gang with Batman, the
ultimate crime-stopper,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment Vice President, Family and Animation Marketing. “Fans
and families of all ages are in for a treat – and hopefully some
Scooby snacks, too – when watching this all-new original movie on
DVD and Digital.”
