TOGETHER
AGAIN AFTER 45 YEARS IN AN ALL-NEW ANIMATED FILM
The ultimate crime-solving combination reunites when Batman joins the
Mystery Inc. gang to catch a gaggle of villains wreaking havoc in Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the
Bold. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC
Entertainment, the all-new original film will be distributed January 9, 2018 by
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on DVD ($19.98 SRP) and Digital.
Super sleuths
Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma join forces with the world’s
greatest detective, Batman, when they discover that villains from both of their
respective rogues’ galleries have also combined efforts to terrorize the city.
With Scooby snacks in tow, the crime-fighting teams encounter classic Batman
foes (Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn)
and allies (The Question, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter) along with a
bevy of fiends from Scooby-Doo lore (Spooky Space Kook, Gentleman Ghost, Miner
49er, Ghost Clown). As always, you won’t know who the ultimate villain is until
those “meddling kids” pull off the mask!
Avid
Scooby-Doo fans know this isn’t the first time the Caped Crusader has partnered
with Mystery Incorporated. Forty-five years ago, Batman (and Robin) were the
featured guest stars in a pair of The New
Scooby-Doo Movies. Premiering in 1972, the renowned detectives worked to
solve crimes together in the hour-long television movies entitled The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair and The Caped Crusader Caper.
Diedrich
Bader, who voiced the Dark Knight in the fan-favorite Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated television series, reprises
his role for this all-new film alongside the longtime Scooby-Doo voice cast of
Frank Welker (Scooby-Doo & Fred), Grey Griffin (Daphne and Black Canary),
Matthew Lillard (Shaggy) and Kate Micucci (Velma). The guest cast includes Jeff
Bennett (Joker), Jeffrey Combs (The Question), John DiMaggio (Aquaman), Nika
Futterman (Catwoman), Nicholas Guest (Martian Manhunter), John Michael Higgins
(The Riddler), Tom Kenny (Penguin, Plastic Man), Kevin Michael Richardson
(Detective Chimp), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy) and Fred Tatasciore
(Harvey Bullock).
Jake
Castorena directs the teleplay by Paul Giacoppo, based on a story by
supervising producer James Tucker. Michael Jelenic is the producer. Executive
Producer is Sam Register. Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are Executive
Producers.
“Scooby-Doo continues
to be one of the most popular kids’ brands in the Warner Bros. canon, and we
are thrilled to reunite the gang with Batman, the ultimate crime-stopper,” said
Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice President, Family and
Animation Marketing. “Fans and families of all ages are in for a treat – and hopefully
some Scooby snacks, too – when watching this all-new original movie on DVD and
Digital.”
