Created by Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick, Tim Drake first appeared in Batman #436 as the third character to assume the role of Robin. While not as mainstream as the first Boy Wonder, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake has been adapted several times, most notably in the DC Animated Universe, where he was voiced by Mathew Valencia, Eli Marienthal, and Dean Stockwell. His sole live-action appearance was in Titans, where he was portrayed by Jay Lycurgo.<\/p>\n

Batman: Knightfall will be the first DC Universe Animated Original Movie since the two-part Watchmen adaptation, which was released in late 2024. The logline for the animated Batman movie reads as follows: \u201cWhen the mysterious behemoth known only as Bane frees Batman\u2019s entire Rogue\u2019s Gallery from Arkham Asylum, the Caped Crusader is pushed to his mental and physical breaking point.\u201d No casting for the movie has been unveiled yet.<\/p>\n

Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall is slated to be released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in 2026.<\/p>\n
