Summary:
- Prime Video is releasing an animated Batman TV show.
- The series will focus on the Bat Family and will have a lighter tone.
- Here’s everything you need to know about the new Batman TV show.
Batman has had countless animated adaptations over the decades. From the campy 1960s The Adventures of Batman to 2024’s darker Batman: Caped Crusader. The latter was saved by Prime Video after being cancelled by HBO Max.
Prime Video is now releasing yet another animated Batman show with a lighter tone called Bat-Fam. If you’re a fan of Lego Batman Movie, which is often hailed by many to be the definitive Batman movie, this show should be right up your alley.
When Will Bat-Fam Release on Streaming Platforms
Bat-Fam will release on Prime Video in November 2025. The creators have yet to reveal the release date. The show spins off from the 2023 movie Merry Little Batman, which earned a 97% Tomatometer score and was well-received by fans. Mike Roth is developing the series.
Roth has written and worked as a storyboard artist for various renowned animated shows like Phineas and Ferb, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Regular Show. Over the course of his career, he has earned seven Primetime Emmy nominations and taken home one win. Needless to say, the Bat-Fam showrunner has some interesting work to show.
