Merry Little Batman is a 2023 animated superhero film directed by Mike Roth, and written by Morgan Evans and Jase Ricci, from a story by Evans and Roth, based on DC Comics featuring the characters Batman and his son Damian Wayne. It is the first Amazon MGM Studios animated production that was not produced, distributed through, or owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film stars the voices of Yonas Kibreab, Luke Wilson, James Cromwell, and David Hornsby. In the film, Damian must foil the Joker's plot to ruin Christmas in Gotham City while his father is away on a mission.
The film was released on December 8, 2023, on Amazon Prime Video, receiving positive reviews, with praise for the animation, plot-line, and voice performances (including for Kibreab as Damian). A television series based on the film, titled Bat-Fam, will premiere in 2025.
