Holidays are all about gathering with family, but if you need a break from yours this Thanksgiving you can always pull up a bat-chair at the Wayne Manor’s bat-table and catch up with Bat-Fam, the new family animated series starring DC’s caped crusader and his clan. The series debuted earlier this month on Prime Video, and now we get a fun behind-the-scenes look with a fresh featurette!
In the video, showrunner and executive producer Mike Roth delves into the design process behind Bruce Wayne’s fatherly new look in “Designing Batman’s Beard.”
Synopsis: Bat-Fam follows Batman, Alfred and young Damian Wayne — now having taken on the mantle of “Little Batman” — as they welcome a few new residents to Wayne Manor. Joining the family dinner table is Alicia Pennyworth, Alfred’s free-spirited grandniece; Claire, a recently reformed Super-Villain; Ra’s al Ghul, Damian’s adoring “Pap Pap” who also happens to be Batman’s longtime nemesis; and Man-Bat, who takes up residence in the Wayne Manor belfry. Oh! And let’s not forget Selina, the beloved family cat.
This close-knit family of misfits navigate the fun and frustrations of ordinary life while protecting the streets of Gotham City. Prepare for nonstop action, big heart and hilarious chaos!
The series stars Luke Wilson as the voice of Bruce Wayne, Yonas Kibreab as the voice of Damian Wayne, James Cromwell as the voice Alfred Pennyworth, Haley Tju as the voice of Claire, London Hughes as the voice of Alicia Pennyworth, Michael Benyaeras the voice of Ra’s Al Ghul and Bobby Moynihan as the voice of Man-Bat. The guest voice cast includes Reid Scott, Kevin Michael Richardson, Diedrich Bader and Natasha Leggero, among others.
Bat-Fam is a series follow up building on the heartfelt and funny version of Gotham and its colorful characters introduced in the 2023 hit holiday film, Merry Little Batman (also on Prime Video). The series is developed by Mike Roth & Jase Ricci and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Roth serves as executive producer and showrunner. Ricci and Sam Register executive produce.
