Bat-Fam Season 1 Key Art and New York Comic Con Panel Teases from Prime Video

New York Comic Con, News

Prime Video’s mini-Batman world is continuing to expand through a fun little show that’s coming very soon: Bat-Fam!

Prime Video and Warner Bros. Animation released the key art for Bat-Fam Season 1. The ten-episode season, coming in November, has not set a specific release date as of yet, but the series will make an appearance at New York Comic Con.

A continuation of the previous Batman spinoff special, Merry Little Batman, Bat-Fam Season 1 features a variety of original characters not already present within DC Comics.

Bat-Fam Season 1 will feature the likes of Batman (Luke Wilson), Alfred (James Cromwell), and a young Damian Wayne (Yonas Kibreab). Albeit, this Damian Wayne doesn’t decide to take the mantle of Robin, but rather “Little Batman.”

They’ll be joined by new and familiar characters like Alicia Pennyworth (London Hughes), Claire (Haley Tju) aka Volcana, Man-Bat (Bobby Moynihan), and the ghost of Ra’s al Ghul (Michael Benyaer). In addition, fans can expect Catwoman to be Selina, the family’s sweet pet.

Previously, Merry Little Batman saw Batman leaving Damian Wayne at home to go fight crime on Christmas Eve. However, not wanting to be left alone, Damian decided to become Batman’s sidekick and “mini protégé” to protect Wayne Manor from Gotham’s supervillains.

Given Bat-Fam‘s concept, fans might expect some familiar villains from Merry Little Batman to show up, like David Hornsby’s Joker, Brian George’s Penguin, Therese McLaughlin’s Poison Ivy, and much more.

For those heading to New York Comic Con this year, Bat-Fam will be there with a special sneak peek panel.
