Via The Hollywood Reporter, WB Animation has unveiled its cast for the upcoming feature Batman vs. Robin, which despite sharing a title with a Grant Morrison arc, is actually based on the Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo “Court of Owls” storyline that opened up their run in the New 52 era.
The film will act as a sequel to the preceding Batman and Son, with Jason O’Mara, Sean Maher and David McCallum reprising their roles as Batman, Robin and Alfred respectively.
New cast members joining on include:
Jeremy Sisto as Talon (Sisto, you may recall, played Batman in Justice League: The New Frontier)
Grey Griffin as Samantha
Weird Al Yankovic as The Dollmaker
Robin Atkin Downes as Grandmaster
Peter Onorati as Draco
Kevin Conroy as Thomas Wayne (Bruce’s father, not the other one)
Batman vs. Robin will arrive in stores this Spring, its the next entry in WB’s shared universe of animated films that include the previously released Justice League: War, Batman and Son, and the upcoming (and to be reviewed in short order by Davey Nieves on this very site) Justice League: Throne of Atlantis. It’ll be directed by Jay Oliva, who took the helm for Batman: Assault on Arkham and the animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, among others projects.
I haven’t enjoyed any of the offerings from this animated line in some time, probably not since Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, but I continue to hold out hope that the next entry will be the point where they bounce back. Snyder and Capullo’s enjoyable first arc together is as good a starting point as any.
this is a very young Robin and there is no question who will come out on top. if this were with an seasoned Dick Grayson,then there would be a bit of a battle. still ,I will see it when it comes out.
if this is bringing in the court then it better have red hood, red robin, batgirl, at least black canary and huntress, maybe even batwing. You cant mess 2 stories like that into an hour and a half movie, i want the full Court experience.
You missed Rachel Sinclair (She was the feral girl in the New Mutants, You also missed Cypher (the new mutant who could communicate with anything. You also missed the Warlock (the techno creator from the New Mutants).
Great roundup as usual, really enjoyed your article. Thanks for sharing your article. Looking forward for your best article this year.
