(May 6, 2009 – Burbank, CA) – What happens when the Caped Crusader and one of the most famous basketball teams of all time meet Scooby-Doo? A delightful, animated double feature comprised of “Scooby-Doo Meets Batman” and “Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters.” Priced at $14.97 (SRP) this entertaining movie combination will be released by Warner Home Video (WHV) on August 11, 2009. Order due date is set for July 7, 2009.
The most legendary names in crime-fighting history, Batman and Robin, join forces with Scooby-Doo and the Mystery, Inc. gang in “Scooby-Doo Meets Batman.” The action begins as The Joker and The Penguin try to cash in on a crooked counterfeiting scheme only to be foiled by the trio of Batman, Robin and Scooby-Doo! The relentless Joker and Penguin, however, return a second time and try to steal a flying suit from Professor Flakey. Scooby-Doo and the gang prove that with a little help from Batman, they have what it takes to put the scoundrels in their place!
Scooby-Doo and the Mystery, Inc. gang score big thrills when they team up with the legendary Harlem Globetrotters in two hilarious action-packed mystery adventures featured on “Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters.” On a visit to a quaint New England town, the gang is spooked by close encounters with the ghost of Paul Revere and a fire-spouting sea serpent. But it’s a whole new ballgame when the kids get a mystery-solving assist from their pals: The Fabulous Harlem Globetrotters. Afterwards, the Globetrotters and the Mystery, Inc. crew are ship-napped to a creepy island full of ghostly frights – where Scooby-Doo and the gang again join forces with the wisecracking hoopsters for some slam-dunk crook-busting fun.
“Scooby-Doo Meets Batman” and “Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters” originally aired on television as part of “The New Scooby-Doo Movies,” which premiered on CBS in 1972. The only hour-long "Scooby-Doo" series, the program ran for two seasons and yielded 24 episodes.
