The film, Merry Little Batman, was ordered along with a spinoff series, Bat-Family, and a two-season order for Batman: Caped Crusader from executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves. All three new Batman animated properties will premiere exclusively on Prime Video.

In a statement, President of Warner Bros Animation and Cartoon Network Studios Sam Register said:

From the cinematic noir storytelling of Batman: Caped Crusader to the comedic adventures of Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, these new projects ensure that there will be an animated Batman story ready to excite fans of all ages.”

Some details about each new animated title:

Batman: Caped Crusader 

This all-new animated series reimagines the Batman mythology, reinventing the Caped Crusader and his world using state-of-the-art animated techniques for visually striking animation. It features nuanced characters and sophisticated storylines. Batman: Caped Crusader is created by Timm, Abrams, and Reeves, who also serve as executive producers alongside Ed Brubaker and Register. It is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho. Two seasons of the series has been ordered.

Merry Little Batman 

This animated family action comedy is a holiday movie. Young Damian Wayne finds himself alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve and has to pull a Kevin McCallister to defend his home and Gotham City from the Grinch supervillains trying to destroy the holiday for everyone. He transforms into “Little Batman” to do so. Merry Little Batman is directed by Mike Roth (Regular Show) and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Morgan Evans (Teen Titans Go!) wrote the screenplay.

Bat-Family

Bat-Family takes place after Merry Little Batman. It follows Batman, Alfred, and young Damian Wayne – now officially Little Batman – as they navigate the fun and frustrations of life as a super family. This all-new animated series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and executive produced by Register, Jase Ricci, and Mike Roth.
