Cool trailer! Seems like they fit in scenes from each part into one trailer since we have the gauntlet/Bane fight (part 1), AzBats vs Bane (Part 2), and Ponytail Nightwing vs AzBats (Part 3?) .

Michael Mando as Bane sounds cool on paper but he kind of sounds...off to me here. At least really different from how I expect Bane to sound .

Also, David Dastmalchian voices The Riddler.

John Jennings Boyd & Eric V. Hachikian scored part 1.

Mando posted a bts photo from a recording session and look at what scene is on his screen.

Nexus Point News posted their thoughts on part 1.

Looks great, digging the style, was surprised they didn't just preview part 1 but dug seeing ponytail Nightwing confirmed.

I just love how David Dastmalchian feels like he's contractually obligated to play a vocal role in a DC animated movie .

Mando posted a bts photo from a recording session and look at what scene is on his screen.

They really just let him spoil the back breaking scene like that .

Nexus Point News posted their thoughts on part 1.

So there's still that stiffness that people always complain about, but otherwise it sounds great !

Surprised Mando's Bane got praised, he sounded the most off to me. But I'm happy to be proven wrong .

The trailer looks pretty great to me. I agree it shows stuff from the next parts too, not exactly a complaint but it will be a while until those come out.

Nice to see Azrael officially in animated form, finally. This will also likely be Bane's best animated outing which makes sense considering the story.

Part 1 is rated R for strong bloody violence. Again, makes sense.

Does lend to the theory part 2 might already be done or almost.

And from that tweet back on November 15, 2024 that SupermanOnFilm person was right about Anson Mount and Pablo Schreiber.

edit: IGN's review mentions Jack Griffin voices Robin.

edit2: Variety's summary mentions Studio Mir animated this movie.

Available to pre-order on Amazon.

I am assuming that the release date given by Amazon (December 31, 2026) is merely a placeholder and will be updated at a later date. Also, Amazon incorrectly lists the film as PG-13. I've sent them a sourced correction.

EDIT (06/25): Since the UK site Buy Physical Media posted on X: "Coming to 4K UHD & Blu-ray via Warner Bros on 9/8" does that indicate a UK release date of August 9 (as opposed to September 8)?

Yes, and it's a common practice by Amazon.

Seems like some of their best DC work in a while .

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Am I the only one that got crazy Kevin Conroy vibes here? Like mid 00's Conroy?

EDIT:

Amazon UK has the special features listed for the Blu-ray/4K - two featurettes:

- Breaking the Bat
- Batman needs a Robin!

The Movies Anywhere page also lists a release date of September 8th.

I was wondering if they'd also confirm more voice actors but it still only lists the main trio of Mount, Mando, and Schreiber.

Well, that clenches the digital date. Guess the 4K/Blu-ray will be September 15th or 22nd. Remotely possible to be same day on the 8th (I think the 2nd Crisis was all one day).

It is odd we're past 1 week since the trailer and we don't have a press release about the main cast. In the past DTVs it's usually been next day.

I remain a little skeptical until we get official confirmation, but that's only because I don't know the source of the site's release date. If it is based on the UK site's post on X then the film could still be being released in August (as I stated before, due to UK dating conventions).
