Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios, and Warner Home Entertainment will bring “Batman: Knightfall” to France’s Annecy Animation Festival. The feature film, helmed by WB Animation veteran director Jeff Wamester (“Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths”), is described as “the first installment of a multi-part animated event bringing to life one of the most iconic and beloved runs in the rich history of Batman comics.”

No doubt this Part One will have animation buffs and Batman fans alike queuing for this very coveted world premiere, as the fan-favorite caped crusader is pushed to his mental and physical breaking point by a mysterious behemoth called Bane. This could be a big announcement depending where “Batman: Nightfall” leads. Many of recent animated “Batman” titles have ended up on Prime Video.

As June’s Annecy Festival draws nearer, “Batman: Nightfall” forms part of the global animation event’s first special screening events, unveiling new tributes to legacy characters, legendary animators and globally acclaimed anime franchises.
