What's the Story?
Bam (Jacob Bertrand), Bibi, Red, Wing, and Buff are all vehicles designed to help Batman (Ethan Hawke) fight the foes of Gotham City. Since they've just been created, these young cars and trucks have a lot to learn about crime fighting, friendship, and life in general. Luckily, they have each other (and a few superhero friends) to help them learn big lessons.
Is It Any Good?
This fun series brings the DC Universe to a younger audience with a vibrant and age-appropriate world. Young vehicle fans will appreciate the heavy focus on cars, upgrades, and features, and parents will be grateful for the kid-appropriate lessons. There's some humor infused into the series as well (like when Batman, dryly voiced by Hawke, uses the Batcomputer to order a carne asada burrito).
