Variety is reporting that a Clayface movie is officially moving forward at DC Studios, with Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep; The Fall of the House of Usher; Midnight Mass) attached to write the screenplay. 

Flanagan and Trevor Macy, his partner at Intrepid Pictures, pitched the potential film to James Gunn and Peter Safran over a year ago, and it looks like the idea won over the new DC bosses as they've issued a formal greenlight.

Plot details remain under wraps, but what we do know is that Clayface won't be a villain in the feature, which makes sense considering that back in 2021, Flanagan, when asked which DC movie he'd like to make, said, "Well I've wanted to do a Superman movie since I was a kid, but I would also be really keen to do a standalone Clayface movie as a horror/thriller/tragedy."

Filming is tentatively scheduled to begin early next year,...

"The Ballad of Gilligan's Island," in case it needs repeating, is the single best TV theme song of all time. In addition to explicitly explaining the premise of the classic show, "Ballad" introduces every single one of its seven main characters by name. It also helps that it's one of the most insidious earworms this side of "Yellow Submarine"; once you get "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" stuck in your head, it will never leave. Your mind will be as lost as the Minnow.

In the original pilot episode for "Gilligan's Island," back before the final cast had been selected, the theme song was a calypso number composed by John Williams. That song, however, wasn't exactly what show creator Sherwood Schwartz wanted, so he and songwriter George Wyle wrote a second, better theme.. His and Schwartz's "Ballad" was written as a sea shanty, and no one can hear its...

Adam West has had countless adventures as Batman in live action. He portrayed the Caped Crusader in the legendary ABC TV series, which ran for three seasons from 1966 to 1968, and its live-action spinoff movie. In addition to this spectacular run as one of the most fun portrayals of Batman, he had a wonderful voice acting career. Many may remember him for his voice roles on The Fairly Odd Parents or Family Guy, but his career with DC was a huge part of his animated exploits.

West directly continued his time as Batman in The New Adventures of Batman (1977) all the way through to 1985's Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. He also played Batman on Robot Chicken's third DC special, with an appearance from Burt Ward as well.

His other TV appearances are nothing short of fantastic. Critically-acclaimed '90s show Batman: The Animated Series featured him in the fan favorite episode,...

Few companies know how to make animated movies quite like DC. The truth is that the DC Comics brand has entertained us all for generations across various mediums, be that live-action movies, TV shows, video games, or the classic comic books. But one area it always succeeds in is animated movies, and it has given us some of the greatest animated movies of all time just to prove that.

One place that you can find plenty of these classics is WarnerMedia streaming service Max. If you're interested in finding out just how good they are, here are five of the absolute best animated DC movies you should watch on the streamer.

1. Batman vs. Two-Face

Released in 2017, Batman Vs. Two Face is the sequel to Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar are back to play their roles from the iconic Batman TV show. William Shatner...

This article contains major spoilers for The Flash.

Holy revolving door, Batman! The Caped Crusader has been portrayed by more actors on the big screen than any other superhero in history. Most of them have lasted for just one film. After The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale became the first man to have played Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego more than twice on the silver screen. He didn’t have much competition – Michael Keaton was the only other actor to reprise the role at the time.

But Ben Affleck has now beat Bale for appearances as Batman on the big screen due to his return in The Flash movie, making that fourth time Affleck has donned the cape and cowl. Sure, these aren’t movies starring the Caped Crusader but they still count! Meanwhile, Keaton ties Bale for three appearances, with a much heftier role in The Flash than Affleck.

There are a few phrases that no actor wants to hear.

For instance, if a director says "I have a lot of notes," it suddenly means the work day will potentially get a lot longer. "Thank you, we'll let you know" is not something a hopeful performer wants to hear from a casting agent immediately following an audition. Likewise, "We're looking for someone younger." Any one of these can cause great cracks in an actor's ego, which may be an actor's most prominent feature.

Most terrifying of all, however, might be "We can't see you as anyone other than Batman." This was something actor Adam West, according to a 2017 interview with Moviefone (the actor's last before his death) had said to himself a few times after "Batman" was canceled in 1969.

Typecasting, of course, isn't always a curse. Being typecast as a heavy or a villain, for instance, can sometimes assure...

New Gotham Knights Trailer Focuses On Harvey Dent

The CW isn't quite done with its small screen DC universe just yet, as "Gotham Knights" is set to premiere on the network next month. The show centers on the Bat-family in the aftermath of Bruce Wayne's death. The above trailer focuses heavily on Harvey Dent, played by "Supernatural" alum Misha Collins in the show.

Burbank, CA – Legacies must rise to unearthly challenges as the children of Batman and Superman are charged with saving their famous fathers – and the world – in Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons. Warner Bros. Animation’s first-ever all-cg animated, feature-length film will be available from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack (USA 29.99 Srp; Canada 34.99 Srp), Blu-ray (USA 24.99 Srp; Canada 29.99 Srp) and Digital on October 18, 2022.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the PG-13 rated Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons begins as 11-year-old Jonathan Kent discovers he has superpowers, thrusting the half-Kryptonian into the complicated world of Super Heroes and Super-Villains – who are now under attack by a malevolent alien force known as Starro! It’s a race against time as Jonathan must join forces with assassin-turned-Boy-Wonder Damian Wayne to rescue their fathers (Superman & Batman) and save...

Few modern characters have captivated audiences and storytellers alike quite like Batman. Ever since writer Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane debuted the character in a 1939 issue of Detective Comics, the Dark Knight has demanded interest, first in comics, but soon also in TV, games and of course, movies. Because, goodness, there sure are a lot of Batman movies.

It didn’t take long for The Caped Crusader to arrive on film, making his theatrical debut all the way back in 1943 with a pair of Columbia Pictures serial films, and since then, the character’s cultural imprint has grown exponentially, with more than nine actors taking on the role in film – in fact, we’re about to have three live-action Batmen at the same time with the arrival of “The Flash.”

If that sounds like the Batman timeline is a confusing one, it can be, especially once the DC Multiverse opens up.

On the March 8, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editors Jacob Hall, Hoai-Tran Bui, and Chris Evangelista to have a spoiler-filled discussion about Matt Reeves' new movie, "The Batman."

A new year has finally arrived and HBO Max is set to open it with a bang. With its list of new releases for January 2022, HBO Max is rolling out some intriguing original series and an absolutely packed slate of library titles.

The real highlight this month comes on Jan. 13 with the release of Peacemaker. Developed by James Gunn, this series spins off John Cena’s titular character from last years’ The Suicide Squad. The show will delve into the pathology of a superhero who will achieve peace regardless of how many people need to be killed to attain it.

Also of note this month are second seasons for two major HBO series. Euphoria season 2 and The Righteous Gemstones season 2 both premiere on Jan. 9, making for quite the odd double feature. Meanwhile, the fifth and final season of superb comedy Search Party arrives on Jan. 7.

Inspired by the iconic mid-1990s DC story from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two completes the two-film journey as theHoliday Killer is still at large and, with Bruce Wayne under the spell of the venomous Poison Ivy, Batman is nowhere to be found.

Burbank, CA – The fate of the universe once again hangs in the balance as warriors come together for one final clash in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, an all-new, feature-length film produced by Warner Bros.

There’s a Ton of DC movies coming to HBO Max in July, but they aren’t necessarily the ones you expect. While the service is still dealing with a number of its most high profile titles still cycling through previously agreed on streaming deals at competitors, they’re bringing in a lot of their lesser known titles to fill in the blanks. One thing they’re doing for the moment is extending the runs of Dceu “favorites” like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Suicide Squad through December.

But don’t sleep on the dozens of others on the way.

For one thing, there’s the complete set of Christopher Reeve Superman movies. While really, only two of those are any good, the first one is the greatest Superman movie of all time, and arguably the best superhero movie ever made. And while Superman III is generally quite bad,...

HBO Max is out with its list of everything coming and going from the new streaming service, and the list includes the 2019 film “Harriet” starring Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman.

Leaving at the end of the month are “Aquamarine,” “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Long Shot,” “Crimson Peak,” “The Sun Is Also a Star” and “X-Men.”

HBO Max is set to enter into its second month of existence. And you know what that means: it’s Christmas in July!

HBO Max’s list of new releases for July 2020 is highlighted by one prominent Christmas movie: last year’s Emilia Clarke-starring Last Christmas. But the real cause for Christmas in July is all the exciting animated DC content coming our way on the first of the month. July 1 sees the arrival of just about every animated Batman project ever created. July 1 also features the arrival of just about every Justice League animated series ever created as well.

If that weren’t enough, July 1 is also when every live-action Superman movie (save for Man of Steel) makes it streaming debut. July is starting to look like a month where HBO Max establishes its real potential and geek culture bonafides…despite an at-times difficult rollout.

The HBO original...

When HBO Max launched last month, DC fans hoped it would be the premiere place to go to watch all their favorite DC content. While the streaming service did have an impressive array of films and TV shows available on launch, there were a lot of notable missing titles, too, due to pre-existing licenses getting in the way. As time goes on, though, more DC properties will end up on the site. Case in point: this July will see a whole heap of superhero content go up on HBO Max.

Below you can find the full list of every movie and TV series coming to HBO Now, Go and Max next month, broken down by day of release. It includes an enormous amount of DC animated movies, mostly featuring Batman, the Justice League and Green Lantern. All of the Christopher Reeve Superman films will be up on HBO Max as of July,...

“He saves with a mighty hand. Every man, every child, every woman. He’s a mighty Flash.”

So declares Queen’s theme song to the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, but does Alex Raymond’s famed comic strip adventurer have the heroics necessary to keep the ever-bumbling Archie Andrews safe? Comic readers will find out this summer when the Archie Meets Flash Gordon one-shot hits stores.

This is the latest crossover for Archie Comics, following on the heels of the excellent Archie Meets the B-52’s. This time around though, the Riverdale gang will be trading in Planet Claire for Mongo. The 48-page comic will retail for $3.99, and is scheduled to hit stores on June 3rd. Here’s the official synopsis:

“A strange phenomenon occurs, leading to an alien crash-landing in Riverdale. Fortunately, someone arrives on the scene to save the day: Flash Gordon! A conqueror from another world wants to colonize...

The CW billed their “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover as their biggest yet, pulling in actors and characters from across DC’s live-action adaptations. This encompassed everything from Batman ’66, Batman ’89 and Smallville to more recent shows like Titans and Lucifer. But Part 4 of the event saw the most surprising crossover yet, as it was one with the Dceu in the form of Ezra Miller’s first appearance as the Flash since Justice League in 2017.

The lead-up to his appearance focused on the crossover’s seven Paragons, who are trying to connect the universe through the Speed Force. Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen obviously has a very close connection with it, using his memories and feelings to guide his way through the multiverse. This led him to the Dceu S.T.A.R. Labs, where he met Ezra Miller’s Flash, who was understandably a little confused as he hasn...

DC has offered a first look at their new animated adaptation of Superman: Red Son and the full voice cast has also been announced along with the characters they are playing.

The film is an adaptation of Mark Millar's 2003 famed Elseworlds tale, which posed the question, "What if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?"

The cast of the film includes Jason Isaacs (Batman: Under the Red Hood) as Superman; Diedrich Bader (American Housewife) as Lex Luthor; Amy Acker (The Gifted) as Lois Lane; Vanessa Marshall (Star Wars Rebels) as Wonder Woman; Phil Morris (Doom Patrol) as James Olsen; Paul Williams (Goliath) as Brainiac; Sash Roiz (Grimm); Phil Lamarr (Supergirl) as Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart; Roger Graig Smith (Arkham Origins) as Batman; Travis Willingham (Batman: Bad Blood) will voice John F. Kennedy and Russia's Superior Man, while William Sayers (Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders) will voice Joseph Stalin,...

The more we learn about the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event, the cooler it looks to be. In case you hadn’t heard, this past weekend brought news confirming that not only is Lamonica Garrett playing the villainous Anti-Monitor, but also that Brandon Routh will suit up as Kingdom Come Superman.

If that weren’t enough, Deadline reports that the iconic Burt Ward will also be stopping by during the prime time extravaganza. This is especially exciting because Mr. Ward continues to define Robin, the Boy Wonder for fans of all ages, as the Batman TV series from the 1960’s still serves as a gateway to the superhero genre for people all over the globe.

Now, we advise that you take the next bit with a grain of salt because it hasn’t been confirmed by the network as of yet, but Cosmic Book News said they learned from...

There's a Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated crossover movie in the works, and it looks amazing.

After three comic book crossovers, Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will take their team up to the screen with a Dtv animated movie called Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie is expected to hit home video formats late in the spring.

And holy casting news Batman, we know who’s going to be in it. Batman will be played by Troy Baker, who’ll also be The Joker. The Turtles will be played by Eric Bauza (Leonardo), Baron Vaughn (Donatello), Darren Criss (Raphael), and Kyle Mooney (Michelangelo). The film will also feature a who’s who of Batman villains, with Tara Strong as both Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, Tom Kenny as Penguin, John Dimaggio as Mr. Freeze, Carlos Alazragui as Bane, and Cas Anvar as Ra’s al Ghul.

Since his introduction in 1939, Batman has appeared in countless movies, animations, TV and

radio shows, books, comic books and newspapers. The franchise, complete with numerous

merchandising items, is believed to have made almost $24 billion. Let’s talk about a few

things that all Batman enthusiasts should have in their collections.

The blockbuster movies are probably the main source of information about Bruce Wayne and

his dark alter ego for most people because it is something that has the best chance to reach

wider audiences. Plus, everybody likes to see an action-packed movie from time to time.

Since the first attempts to introduce the superhero to a big (or silver) screen in the 1940s,

about two dozen films, series and TV shows have featured his likeness. Naturally, some better

than the others. Adam West was the first memorable Batman. Starring in the 1966 series and

film, West was also making a living...

DC’s Elseworlds series were some of my favorite comics as a kid. Why would I want to get wrapped up in the stodgy, never-ending plots of Death and Return of Superman or Knightfall when I could enjoy Batman becoming a vampire in Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, a Communist Superman in Red Son or the weird alt-dc Universe of Jla: The Nail?

The originator of this label was Brian Augustin and Mike Mignola’s excellent Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, which transposes Bruce Wayne/Batman to the late 19th century and has him tangle with Jack the Ripper (and was subsequently ranked as the 11th greatest Batman graphic novel of all-time by IGN). Clearly, someone at DC agrees with me, because 2018 will see the arrival of an animated adaptation of the story and, from the looks of the trailer above, it’s going to be awesome.

Apparently hewing pretty close to the original,...

Last year, Warner Bros. treated us with the awesome Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, which saw the likes of Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprise their roles of Batman, Robin and Catwoman, respectively. Being essentially the beginning to a fourth season we never received, it surpassed expectations by retaining the feel of the classic 1960’s television series, while also featuring grandiose action scenes that could’ve never been accomplished on the budget of the show.

Not being content to rest on their laurels, the fine folks who put together DC’s wonderful animated movies continued the legacy with Batman vs. Two Face, a followup that may have very well been the brand’s best offering this year (you can check out our review here). But with West’s recent passing being an unfortunate reality, one would only assume that the book has been closed on the Bright Knight.

When it comes to characters that we love, you’ll probably agree with me in saying that we all possess some vague memory of how we were exposed to them. As a lifelong fan of Batman, I can at least remember that Adam West was my introduction to the Dark Knight (or Bright Knight, in this case). Honestly, I can’t properly recall if it was via the TV show from the ’60s or the Super Friends animated series, but either way, he was my first Batman.

Having confessed that, you can imagine that I was quite thrilled when West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprised their roles of Batman, Robin and Catwoman, respectively, in last year’s Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Not only did returning in animated form allow them to defy Father Time, but it also showed us what that world looks like when freed of...

The Batman vs. Two-Face animated movie nearly invited Poison Ivy to the special guest batvillain party.

Warner Bros. has been fulfilling longtime Batman fan dreams for the last year. After first reuniting Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar for Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders, they immediately revealed the news that they'd be bringing one of the greatest Batman villains to never appear on the original TV series to the screen, with this year's Batman vs. Two-Face. Not only that, they got the legendary William Shatner to voice the dual role of Harvey Dent and Two-Face.

There are a handful of iconic Batman villains of the era who never joined the ranks of Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, or Mr. Freeze on TV. Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Poison Ivy were all around during the era of the Batman TV series, but never made the jump to live action as "special guest batvillains.

Not being content to rest on their laurels, the fine folks who put together DC’s wonderful animated movies are back at it with Batman vs. Two Face, a followup that may very well surpass its predecessor. Or at least, that’s the impression we’ve been given. Sure, there’s the undeniable appeal that comes with casting William Shatner as Two-Face himself, but seeing is certainly believing.

Water Tower Music announced today the October 6 release of two titles: Batman and Harley Quinn: Music From The DC Universe Original Movie And Batman Vs. Two-Face: Music From The DC Animated Movie.

Having said that, we’re thrilled to see that its sequel, Batman vs. Two-Face, looks like it may be even better. In addition to the return of the aforementioned actors, expect William Shatner to lend his pipes to the dichotomous Harvey Dent, a character who never actually appeared on the TV show itself during its original run.

As for the rest of the major players, here goes: Jeff Bergman (Joker, Bookworm, Desmond Dumas), Sirena Irwin (Dr.

Burbank, CA (August 14, 2017) – Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment bring together two of pop culture’s all-time heroes – TV’s original Batman and Captain Kirk, Adam West and William Shatner, respectively – to voice the title characters in the full-length, animated feature film, Batman vs. Two-Face.

As the sequel to the 2016 hit animated film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, the all-new Batman vs. Two-Face finds Batman and Robin back in classic 1960s action, protecting Gotham City from some of the most nefarious villains in comics history. But when the mutilated master of multiplicity, Two-Face, begins staging a daring crime wave across Gotham, the Caped Crusaders must work double-time to discover his mysterious secret identity before they can halt his evil-doing – all the while combating the likes of Catwoman,...

Although Batman star Adam West passed away just a couple of months ago, he did leave us with one final performance as the Caped Crusader.

Although Adam West -- the original live-action Batman -- passed away on June 9th of this year, fans still have one last chance to enjoy his work as the Caped Crusader. West's Bruce Wayne is squaring off against William Shatner's Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face, in the upcoming direct-to-video animated film, Batman Vs. Two-Face. The voice cast also includes Steven Weber as Alfred, Jim Ward as Commissioner Gordon, Thomas Lennon as Chief O’Hara, and Lynne Marie Stewart as Aunt Harriet.. A sequel to the 2016 movie, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders -- which reunited West with Batman co-stars Burt Ward and Julie Newmar -- Batman: Vs.

Adam West, for the last time, voices Batman in Batman Vs Two Face. Here's the trailer...

Last year's Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders animated movie, which saw Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar return to the roles of Batman, Robin, and Catwoman, was an absolute delight. So when the announcement came that the sequel would feature a villain who had never made it into the original TV series (Two-Face) and that he'd be played by another iconic 1960s TV actor (William Shatner), fans went wild.

Unfortunately, Adam West died earlier this year, but not before completing his voice work on Batman Vs. Two-Face, a new animated adventure that will pair him with Shatner as Harvey Dent/Two-Face.

Check out the trailer...

The upcoming animated film Batman Vs. Two-Face brings us Adam West's final performance as Batman, and today we have a trailer for you to watch. This is the follow-up to last year’s Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders and it co-stars William Shatner as Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face, Burt Ward as Robin, and Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

The story follows former Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent as he goes on a crime spree based on the number '2'. Of course, all of his actions are decided by the flip of a defaced, two-headed silver dollar. Batman and Robin are the only ones who can stop him.

Batman Vs. Two-Face looks like a fun movie and it will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on October 17th. If you liked Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, you should also enjoy this one. I love that...

We now have a tentative release date for the follow-up to Batman: Return of The Caped Crusaders, which will feature the late Adam West's final performance as Batman. Check out the cover art after the jump.

Late last year, we were treated to what may very well have been the best DC animated movie of 2016 in the form of Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Basically, it reunited surviving members of the 1960’s television series’ cast, as Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprised their roles of Batman, Robin and Catwoman, respectively, effectively making it feel like the beginning to a fourth season we never received.

So, if you also enjoyed that film, it’s probably safe to say that you were quite excited to learn that a sequel in the form of Batman vs. Two-Face was also in the works. But even as wonderful as its predecessor was, some may question if twice appealing to our nostalgia in such a short time span is worth it. Fortunately, another icon from that era, William Shatner, signed on to voice Two-Face, a fan favorite character who...

Although Warner Bros. have found much success in recent decades when it comes to animated films based off DC Comics properties, very few of them have gone beyond the direct-to-video market. Maybe it’s because when Batman: Mask of the Phantasm debuted in theatres nearly 20 years ago, it unfortunately didn’t pull in much money despite being a critical darling and one of the best movies to ever feature the Dark Knight. Period.

In the time since, dozens of stellar flicks have materialized, and the mainstream popularity currently being enjoyed by superheroes has certainly helped the cause. In fact, just last year, both Batman: The Killing Joke and Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders were released in theatres as limited engagements. Now, to the surprise of not very many, Batman and Harley Quinn is following suit.

Seeing as how this is WB Animation’s first 2017 offering to get this treatment, it quickly becomes apparent that they’re going with whichever ones they believe will be the biggest moneymakers. Sure, both Justice League Dark and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract included either the World’s Greatest Detective himself or related characters, but anything featuring him as the headliner – let alone sharing the bill with the white hot Harley Quinn – is going to take top priority.

As it turns out, Batman and Harley Quinn will arrive in theatres on Monday, August 14 for yet another “one night only” engagement, which happens to be the very day before its home video release. Tickets go on sale on June 30, so be sure to follow the source link to Fathom Events, and to keep watch as to which cinemas near you will be taking part.

While we recently lost Adam West, he's left one last performance as Batman...

Adam West was, for multiple generations, the beloved introductory live-action hero that Gotham deserves from his starring role in the 1966-1968 Batman television series, leaving an undoubtedly enduring onscreen legacy. However, the actor, who passed away on June 9, also left fans one last performance as Batman, by way of the previously-announced sequel to the terrific animated feature Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders.

As revealed via Warner Bros’ confirmation to 13th Dimension, the upcoming animated sequel Batman Vs Two-Face will feature a completed voice performance by Adam West. The feature, an advanced-announced sequel to Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders, the celebrated 2016 DVD/Blu-ray animated revival of the 1966 television series, will, just as its predecessor, feature a voice cast consisting of original series actors such as Adam West’s Bruce Wayne/Batman, Burt Ward...

Last year, Adam West returned to voice the Caped Crusader in the animated film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. There was a sequel to that film in development called Batman vs. Two-Face and West completed his voiceover work for the film before he passed away. So, we will get to hear West voice Batman one last time. 

I love that after all these years West was still playing Batman. West was Batman. The animated film co-stars William Shatner as Harvey Dent, and also features the return of Burt Ward as Robin and Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

There's no other information available for the animated film right now. No release date or plot synopsis. We just know that Batman will be facing off with Two-Face. I'm sure more information will be released in the near future. I'm just happy that we'll get to hear West play the Caped Crusader one more time.

Batman fans the world over are still reeling from the tragic passing of Adam West at the age of 88. The actor became a pop culture icon in the 1960s for his camp-tastic portrayal of the not-so Dark Knight in the classic Batman TV series. It was a role that he’d actually returned to very recently, too.

Last year, the animated movie Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders reunited West with his TV co-stars Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) for a hilarious throwback. It was so well received that a sequel was very quickly announced. With the news of West’s death, however, fans had begun to wonder what would happen with the film and if it’d still see a release.

Well, according to 13th Dimension, the actor had completed his voice work for the movie before his passing. There’s no word yet on when the sequel may arrive,...

Hollywood lost its original Batman over the weekend with the passing of Adam West, and now Los Angeles is planning what can only be described as the coolest tribute imaginable. Tonight at Los Angeles’ City Hall, La Mayor Eric Garcetti and Lapd Chief Charlie Beck will join the good citizens of La to light the iconic Bat-Signal in tribute to the late star.

Adam West, who was beloved for generations as the man under the crimefighting cowl in the 1960s Batman TV series, passed away yesterday at the age of 88. West had an acting career going back to the 1950s. Today, Cinelinx pays homage to a gentleman who loved his fans, as we say goodbye to Adam West

Adam West loved playing Batman. Beginning with the Batman Tv show (1966-1969), he continued being involved with DC Batman projects, including Batman: the Movie (1966), The Super Friends (or Super Powers Team), the New Adventures of Batman, Tarzan and the Super Seven, The Legends of the Super heroes, Batman: the Animated Series, the Batman: New Times video game, The 2004-2006 Batman cartoon, Batman: the Brave & the Bold, Robot Chicken, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, and the upcoming Batman vs. Two-Face. Through all these projects, for over five decades, West voiced either the Batman or one of his supporting cast.

Adam West, an actor defined and also constrained by his role in the 1960s series “Batman”, died Friday night in Los Angeles at the age of 88 after a short battle with leukemia.

For many people in the comics community and the world beyond, West’s portrayal of the Caped Crusader was the first version of Batman they ever knew, and while the role chafed on him after a while, he eventually became reconciled to his unique situation:

Some years ago I made an agreement with Batman. There was a time when Batman really kept me from getting some pretty good roles, and I was asked to do what I figured were important features. However, Batman was there, and very few people would take a chance on me walking on to the screen. And they’d be taking people away from the story. So I decided that since so many people love Batman,...

Adam West, best known for his role in the 1960s TV series Batman, died Friday night in Los Angeles. He was 88. His death was due to a short battle with leukemia.

"It's with great sadness that we are sharing this news...Adam West passed away peacefully last night after a short but brave battle with leukemia," his family confirmed on Facebook. "He was a beloved father, husband, grandfather, and great-grandfather. There are no words to describe how much we'll miss him. We know you'll miss him too and we want you to know how much your love and support meant to him throughout the years. Hug your loved ones today. - The West Family."
