Batwheels is a neat idea for a preschool Batman as instead of focusing on the Dark Knight himself, or any of his sidekicks, the show focuses on the iconic vehicles, as they are brought to life like the characters in Disney Pixar's Cars trilogy of films.
In this special origin episode, after Batman and allies chase down Joker, Harley Quinn, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and Riddler after the five join forces to rob a bank, the three go to a party (despite Batman saying he does not do this for rewards). However, an intruder alert in the Batcave and being unable to contact the Terrific Trio, the Bat Computer gets robotic helper Moe to put copies of her Bat Motherboard, which Batman made that allowed it to talk and think, and puts one in the Batmobile, which they nickname Bam. He does a good job fighting, but when Moe lets the secret of how Bam is alive slip out of him, the intruder, a robot, steals the other Bat Motherboards, putting them into the vehicles of the villains to help his boss, Badcomputer, who is stuck in a scoreboard. Bam needs help, and thankfully, Redbird, Bifi, Wing, and Buff are born with Bat Motherboards put into the other Bat vehicles.
This is aimed at preschoolers, and therefore, the humor can seem juvenile for older Batman fans. Also, because of the target audience, the heroes are toned down (The Joker being less scary and The Penguin looking like he could be the evil twin brother of Sir Topam Hatt). However, it is a good show as it enlists some well known names like Tom Kenny, Jess Harnell, and Mick Wingert, and the story is well written with a good moral about being yourself.
