BATWHEELS - JACOB BERTRAND and LILIMAR INTERVIEW

Buckle up and go on a ride with some superheroes as Batwheels rolls into your tv!!

Cartoonito's “Batwheels” marks DC’s first-ever Batman preschool series, offering young viewers a high-speed, vibrant CGI-animated iteration of the Caped Crusader. Little ones and their families will ride along with an amazing team of super-vehicles—Bam (the Batmobile), Bibi (the Batgirl Cycle), Redbird (Robin’s racecar), Buff (the Bat-Truck), and Batwing (the Bat-plane)—as they help Batman, Batgirl, and Robin keep the streets of Gotham City safe. Whether it’s facing down the Legion of Zoom or one of Gotham City’s notorious Super-Villains, the Batwheels will use their incredible gadgets and creative teamwork to save the day!!

Underneath the superhero adventures, “Batwheels” will teach children about what it means to be a hero through its unique “Hero” curriculum. Every “Batwheels” episode will demonstrate a different character strength—self-awareness, concern for others, perseverance, and courage, among others—in overcoming personal and interpersonal challenges and will model how heroes contribute to the greater good. Moreover, the series will teach children that while each vehicle has super abilities, the more important capacities that fuel their heroism are rooted in their intrinsic character strengths, knowing how to be a good friend and the ability to work as a team.

“Batwheels” will officially zoom onto television screens beginning Monday, Oct. 17. The first seven episodes will premiere on Cartoon Network’s Cartoonito preschool block at 9:00 a.m., before streaming the following day on Tuesday, Oct. 18 on the Cartoonito hub on HBO Max.

Jacob Bertrand ("Cobra Kai") as Bam – Bam The Batmobile is the leader of the Batwheels team. Like his hero Batman, Bam has a strong sense of justice and tries his best to lead the team, even though he’s not always sure he’s up for the task. Ultimately, the other Batwheels know they can count on him, both as a super teammate, and as a friend. Bertrand is the first actor to voice the iconic vehicle.

Lilimar ("Cleopatra in Space") as Batwing – Batman’s supersonic jet plane, “Wing” is easily the most sophisticated, and confident member of the team.

I spoke with jacob Bertrand and Lilimar about this exciting new animated series for pre-schoolers.

Batwheels Premieres Monday, October 17th 9am ET/PT On Cartoonito on Cartoon Network Next Day on Cartoonito on HBO Max
