1) Batman’s New Series Bat-Fam Got a Trailer

Prime Video unveiled the first trailer for its new animated series, BAT-FAM, confirming a November 10th premiere date for all 10 episodes. The action-comedy is a follow-up to the film Merry Little Batman and follows Batman (voiced by Luke Wilson), Alfred (voiced by James Cromwell), and Damian Wayne (voiced by Yonas Kibreab) as they transform Wayne Manor into a home for an unconventional family. New residents include Alfred’s free-spirited grandniece, Alicia Pennyworth (voiced by London Hughes), and a group of reformed super-villains seeking a fresh start, including Man-Bat (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) and Claire Selton, also known as Volcana (voiced by Haley Tju). The series will also feature Damian’s grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul (voiced by Michael Benyaer), as a regular presence. The panel also confirmed appearances from other classic Gotham villains like Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, and Mad Hatter, with a guest voice cast that includes Kevin Michael Richardson and Diedrich Bader.

2) “Knightfall” Is Getting the Movie Treatment It Deserves

Warner Bros. Animation and DC announced a major animated film project adapting the iconic 1990s comic book storyline “Batman: Knightfall.” The epic story will be told across a multi-part film series. The first movie, titled Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall, is currently in production and is scheduled for a 2026 release. The plot of the first film centers on the mysterious villain Bane freeing Batman’s entire rogues’ gallery from Arkham Asylum, a calculated assault designed to push the Caped Crusader to his absolute mental and physical breaking point. The project is being directed by Jeff Wamester and written by Jeremy Adams, both veterans of DC’s animated movies, though no voice cast has been announced yet. This marks the first direct animated adaptation of the celebrated saga.

3) Wonder Man Got a Trailer (And a New Release Date)

The eight-episode miniseries stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, a struggling actor whose career path collides with the world of superheroes. The series is described as a Hollywood satire that directly addresses the concept of superhero fatigue. The story follows Simon as he auditions for a reboot of a classic “Wonder Man” movie, putting him in direct competition with the returning Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley). The cast also features Demetrius Grosse as Simon’s brother, Eric Williams, who is known in the comics as the Grim Reaper. Co-created by Andrew Guest and Destin Daniel Cretton, with Cretton directing the first episode, the series will be released under the Marvel Spotlight banner as a standalone story.

The trailer also provided the first look at Krysten Ritter’s return as Jessica Jones, showing her interacting with Matt Murdock (Cox) and powerfully dispatching an assailant with a metal tray. The footage teased a New York City under the authoritarian control of Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) and confirmed the rekindling of the relationship between Matt and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll). Brad Winderbaum also revealed that the season will directly set up the events of the movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
