Batwheels’ crime-fighting crew is led by Bam (The Batmobile) and includes Bibi (The Batgirl Cycle) Red (The Redbird), Jett (The Batwing), and Buff (The Bat Trucks).
Together, the sentient super-powered vehicles must navigate the growing pains of being a newly-formed super-team as well as the growing pains that comes with just being a kid.
“Batwheels is the perfect show to headline our new foray into preschool,” said Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics division. “I can’t wait for all the aspiring super heroes out there to meet this whole new batch of crime-fighters.”
