‘Scooby-Doo! and the Mystery Pups’ Preschool Series Greenlit for HBO Max and Cartoon Network The importance of preschoolers “But also, you know, let’s really do better, let’s really represent the world more accurately, and do it in a way that’s still respectful of who these characters are.” Animation told TheWrap of adapting characters like Batman for younger audiences. “Because these characters are so beloved, we wanted to respect who they are, and keep the core of their personalities intact, recognizing what’s really kept them so beloved for so many years,” Stacey Kim, vice president at Warner Bros.

In the same calendar year, under the same corporate umbrella, the Batman character is allowed to be both super cuddly and the bleakest he’s ever been. And just a few months later, “Batwheels” - a kind of version of Pixar’s “Cars” set in Gotham, with anthropomorphized vehicles - debuts on the Cartoonito preschool programming block of Cartoon Network and on HBO Max. As the character explains in the opening, film noir-y voice-over, those who think that he hides in the shadows are wrong - he is the shadows.

Somehow, Reeves’ version of the character (this time embodied with brooding intensity by Robert Pattinson) was the darkest yet. In March, Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” was released theatrically. The preschool market has become an important programming initiative for entertainment companies and it speaks both to the importance of creating young (and hopefully lifelong) fans of their more seasoned franchises and to the ability to expand those franchises to several versions of the same character.
