It’s only fitting that it debut in Gotham, right?

Days before Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be available for download online, it will make its world premiere at New York Comic Con, with a special screening and panel featuring Adam West and the film’s producers.

The two-hour event will start at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Javits Center Main Stage.

West will be joined in a post-screening panel by director Rick Morales and screenwriters Michael Jelenic and James Tucker. Sam Register, the executive producer, will moderate.

Here’s the official blurb, in case you missed it:

“Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the film takes fans back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, the Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four super-villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!”

  1. Any clue if Burt Ward or Julie Newmar will be attending the con? I need to get some Batman ’66 books signed by that trio.
