Batwheels! New Batman Animation Centred On Bat-Vehicles!
 

Coming to Cartoon Network and HBO Max....Batwheels, a show about a sentient Batmobile and other vehicles belonging to the bat family as they navigate the struggles between acting as a crime fighting superhero unit and being a kid.

Ok but why though?

Great. Wonderful. Why the fvck not. :trolleye:

Man, they are at the point where they just can't stop themselves from superhero animation reboots.

In my day cars were cars, we did not have to deal with these emotion issues with these vehicles.

Man Warners is really running out of ideas for shows **** this sounds stupid

It's a show aimed at literal preschoolers. It's like being mad that Peppa Pig exists. Jesus Christ, you people.

My literal preschooler watches The Walking Dead and American Horror Story.

You gotta expose them early, break down their sensitivity and natural childish innocence. Otherwise they'll just be meat out in the real world.

You think they'll be ready to survive 2021 by watching Barney and Big Bird and Peppa Pig? For fvck's sake.

I was thinking the same thing. Sentient cars is like its own genre now and toddlers love that sh*t. This isn't detracting from a better Batman show or anything and it's way below our interest range for this to be newsworthy. But honestly, if I had a kid, I'd prefer him watching something like this than any of the other sentient car show variants or even Peppa Pig, because that b*tch is annoying. I actually hope my nephew could get into this show since he hasn't fully embraced superheroes yet.

Peppa Pig actually has a lot of humour for adults. This might too, you never know.

Well...

So Alfred got a show with Pennyworth now the damn Bat vehicles are getting one. What's next the Bat Signal gets a show or batman's utility belt or grapple gun and batarang becomes sentient :lol:

I should probably point out here that this is an idea the Teen Titans Go movie made fun of like two years ago.

Which, along with the actually being an Alfred TV show, makes me wonder if they're gonna waste money on making a utility belt project as well.

Will it be like this:

It's like Disney's Cars but with vehicles owned by Batman.

It had to happen sometime!

When I was a "literal preschooler", we had Super-Friends, along with the implicit PROMISE that "Things Simply Cannot Be Any Dumber Than This, We Swear." Although in fairness the last couple "Super Powers: Galactic Guardians" seasons were not bad at all.

The reason so many people are growing up to be morons nowadays, is because we treat them like morons from the day they're born and fill their heads with literal trash because "They're little morons, who cares?" The idea that you can just shovel junk into kids' heads and it's perfectly harmless is wildly dangerous thinking.

"Garbage In, Garbage Out." This sh*t needs to stop.

So it's like Thomas the Tank Engine, but with the Batmobile.....

After Ringo left, it wasn't the same. George Carlin was an interesting choice for a replacement, but still.

... Is Wonder Woman's invisible plane going to be like a shy girl or something?

Well.....it's a new Batman cartoon. It's about time....so I guess it's something.

Hey, I'll have you know the utility belt, grapple gun, and batarang saves his batbutt more than the Batmobile ever does. After all the spoiled s*** put me through in Arkham Knight, this show is obedience school for that thing. Or hell if it was Frieza.:lol: The Bat Signal is a very underrated tool. It lets Batman know **** needs to get done.

So its basically Cars but with the Batmobile.

I'm more excited for this than the new Batman movie honestly.

This was also a little kids show and it was more fun than many DC outings at the time.

When you think about it...why isn’t the Batmobile a self aware AI car to begin with? I know it’d be compared to KITT but Batman is rich and uses a bunch of other high tech gear. Seems like it would have been done before.

The cartoon seems cute. I’ll check it out.

Yeah, I'm curious to see how this show will turn out. I'm assuming it's gonna be CG based on the one image that's on each headline covering this news but I could be wrong.

They need to bring back that pitch of Bruce Wayne in High School with all the villains as his classmates, it was rejected in the early 2000's but I'm surprised it never happened.

Is this the line to drop an angry comment about a cartoon being produced for toddlers?

Because *aheh*, let me tell you, I am furious about something I have the choice not to participate in. And I'm going to let all of you know about it every chance I get.

That's what the internet is for. That, porn, and guacamole recipes.

Imagine how awesome it'd be to have a show of AI/magic sentient super vehicles hanging around going on missions without their owners, similar to Krypto and how we got all the super powered pets of the DC U.

The invisible jet teaming up with the batmobile, superman's mech, aquaman ship's and other silly vehicles DC heroes have had. It'd be glorious, i'm hyped to see what they can do with this. I'm ready for #thenewnew

I pity the kids today who love Thomas & Friends but never knew Shining Time Station.

This is now my personal head-canon.

I liked the Super Pets. I think it was a pet project of Paul Dini as a love letter throwback to the comics he loved.

RIGHT?! Nobody ever knows what the hell I'm talking about!

As I said earlier:

We are not in a position to pretend "It doesn't matter." It absolutely matters. We're growing idiots by spoon-feeding them trash. Standards have to be raised.

Can people with children who may "force" them to watch this openly complain about how dumb a premise this is?

This. I was actually interested in that pitch. Though I'd imagine they'd retool it bit to make it feel more modern.

They adapted it into a graphic novel this year and it was awful

I didn't read it, but it sure SOUNDS awful!

I mean, maybe as a cheesy one-off Elseworlds-type project, it could be tolerable. But as an idea, I can see it turning really sh*tty really fast.

That was a thing.:lol: I forgot that it exists.

New details.

Ethan Hawke has been cast as the voice of Batman, also Duke Thomas (Signal) is Robin and Batgirl is Cassandra Cain

The vehicles look just as I expected. I'm expecting hot meal toys of these at some point. If even Beware the Batman can get them, no reason why this show can't.

A little strange that they're going for Cassandra Cain as Batgirl in this show. If it ends up becoming successful, the youngins growing up with this series will associate her as the definitive Batgirl rather than Barbara Gordon. This might be her first Batman animated tv series appearance, as far as I know. Anything looks better than the Birds of Prey film interpretation.

As for Robin, I'll be honest, I never even heard of Duke Thomas until I saw this. Turned out he was in the some of the more recent comics.

So the cars are intelligent or is it just the heroes talking through their computers? Is this going to be like Wacky Races?
