Bat-Fam is the kind of Batman show that's more commonplace these days, where the Caped Crusader plays a supporting role rather than the primary one, following the trend set by other projects, including Harley Quinn and Teen Titans on the animated front. Luke Wilson voices Batman and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, in a series that sees him more […]
Bat-Fam isn't the atypical Batman, because at its core, it's about Batman, Alfred, and the horde of Gotham City's criminal underworld, filled with supervillains with a similar flair for the dramatics as Bruce Wayne, but with far more sinister intentions. In the Prime Video animated series from Mike Roth and Jase Ricci, Bruce Wayne (voiced […]
There are no shortages of adaptations of Batman from the traditional loner, the occasional reliance on help beyond Alfred Pennyworth with Robin, or, in the case of the animated superhero comedy, Bat-Fam, a full-on ensemble. Created by Mike Roth and Jase Ricci, the Prime Video series follows up the 2023 film Merry Little Batman that […]
It's hard to argue how much Paul Dini has influenced 1990s animation, especially in helping to create (along with Bruce Timm) two of the most memorable characters from that era, original character Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated Series and the title character in Freakazoid!. Harley began as the second banana/love interest to the Joker, and the most infamous example of […]

With Batman crime bosses like Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni being more prominent in recent years in the lore, it feels like Rupert Thorne became the odd man out since the character's creation in DC's Detective Comics #469 by Steve Englehart and Walt Simonson. The character, who was one of the few foes of the […]
It should come as no surprise that Tara Strong takes pride in all the work she's amassed across her 660+ projects, mostly in animated projects from films, TV, and video games. As much as the actress likes to take ownership of her roles, it's also out of her control when a studio like Warner Bros […]

The 660+ projects – past and upcoming – she's been involved with include Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony, Marvel, The Fairly OddParents, and the huge impact that she's had on DC, voicing various characters with major […]
It's hard to believe it's been 23 years since the end of the futuristic Batman Beyond with the animated series' memorable run from 1999-2001 across Kids' WB to Cartoon Network.

Holy, Heroic Honor, Batman! The Caped Crusader will be the first superhero to be honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It's easy to get lost in the several adaptations of Superman as one of the most popular comics and an institution since its original creation in 1938.

Adult Swim's first season of My Adventures With Superman ended up being a much-loved new adaptation of the most famous superhero in history, despite some fans being cautious about the new take from the outset.

Frank Welker is one of the most versatile voice actors of our time, with nearly 900 credits to his name in a career spanning 54 years, ironically starting in the live-action 1969 Elvis Presley-starred feature The Trouble with Girls.
