Batwheels arrives on Netflix as the series’ ever-growing viewership drives demand for official licensed consumer products. Mattel’s Fisher-Price® leads the cavalcade of partners and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) is now encouraging and recruiting new and existing “Batwheels” licensees to ensure kids, families and fans who love the Batwheels can also get in on the action off screen as well.
Batwheels follows an awesome group of sentient super-powered crime-fighting vehicles defending Gotham City alongside a host of DC Super Heroes. 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.
The relatable and aspirational series follows the journey of this dynamic team as they thrill and entertain with their heroic adventures, as well as demonstrate to preschool kids the value of self-confidence, friendship, and teamwork.
Philippe Roucoule, SVP, EMEA Consumer Products, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, says:
The airing on Netflix is a huge step forward for this young and incredibly exciting IP and is an integral part of our strategy plan to ensure that the show is available wherever the fans are. An entirely fresh take on a property of such excellent heritage, Batwheels combines two of the things that children love most – vehicles and Super Heroes – providing endless inspiration for partners across all major categories.
The all-star voice cast includes Ethan Hawke (as Batman), Jacob Bertrand (as Bam the Batmobile), Gina Rodriguez (as Catwoman) and Xolo Maridueña (as Snowy the Snowcrawler), among others. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) 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.
