Cartoonito debuts Batwheels animated DC pre-school series

Published on: 16th March 2023

Batwheels marks DC’s first ever Batman pre-school series, with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products working with top licensees and partners on a global merchandise programme.

Premiering on Cartoonito UK on 18th March, Batwheels is a high-speed, vibrant, CGI-animated, fun-filled action-adventure show featuring the Batwheels: a group of sentient super-powered crime-fighting vehicles defending Gotham City alongside a host of DC Superheroes.

Brought to life by the Batcomputer to help defend Gotham City, the heroic Batwheels are thrust into hilarious hijinks and jaw-dropping action while learning important life lessons. Led by Bam the Batmobile, the Batwheels must navigate the challenges of being a newly formed super team as well as the growing pains that come with just being a kid.

This relatable and aspirational Batwheels series will follow the journey of the dynamic team as they thrill and entertain with their heroic adventures, as well as demonstrate to pre-school kids the value of self-confidence, friendship and teamwork.

The all-star voice cast includes Ethan Hawke (Batman), Jacob Bertand (Bam the Batmobile), Gina Rodriguez (Catwoman) and Xolo Maridueña (Snowy the Snowcrawler) among others. Sam Register (Looney Tunes Cartoons) serves as Executive Producer, Michael G. Stern (Doc McStuffins) as Co-Executive Producer, Simon J. Smith (Penguins of Madagascar) as Supervising Producer and Steven Fink of Bang Zoom Ltd. as Producer. Based on characters from DC, Batwheels is produced by Warner Bros. Animation with animation services provided by Superprod Studio.

Batwheels will debut a half-hour prequel special, Secret Origin of the Batwheels, on Cartoonito UK on 18th March which will tell the backstory of how the Batwheels came to be.

Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products is working with top licensees and partners around the world for a global merchandise programme coming soon that will ensure kids, families and fans of Batwheels can get in on the action off screen as well as on.
