Prime Videohas released the first trailer forMerry Little Batman, their upcoming animated adventure about a time when Damian Wayne (Yoneas Kibreab) has to protect Wayne Manor while his father is busy with a different mission. If you thought Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) had a difficult task in front of him inHome Alone, try picturing what it would’ve been like if the burglars were actually supervillains trying to ruin everyone’s celebration. A young hero will need to rise to the occasion in an animated story meant to be enjoyed by the entire family when it premieres on the platform next month.
Considering Batman (Luke Wilson) has one of the toughest rogue galleries to deal with in the entireDC Universe, keeping everyone at bay could prove to be extremely difficult for Damian. The Joker (David Hornsby) is trying to take Christmas away from everyone, with a plan that would makeThe Grinchproud. If Gotham City wants to celebrate a very special time with their families, Damian must do everything in his power to stop the Clown Prince of Crime before it’s too late. Wearing his own Batsuit, Batman’s son will turn into the hero his father has always been for him.
The project comes as part of a bigger collaboration between DC Comics and Prime Video, with the companies currently developingaBat-Familyanimated filmset in the same universe asMerry Little Batman.
