In fact, this month will see Catwoman sneak her way into a new episode this month voiced by one other than Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez.
In the upcoming “Rev and Let Rev” episode, Catwoman tries to evade Robin and his sports car, Redbird, while attempting to get her claws on one of the shiniest trinkets in Gotham City. During the cat chase, Redbird learns that his new muffler modifications may not be the best for catching such an elusive adversary.

The upcoming episode, “Rev and Let Rev,” will premiere Monday, Nov. 21 at 10:00 a.m. on Cartoon Network’s Cartoonito block and stream next day on the Cartoonito hub on HBO Max.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, “Batwheels” marks DC’s first-ever Batman preschool series, offering young viewers a high-speed, vibrant CGI-animated iteration of the Caped Crusader. Little ones and their families will ride along with an amazing team of super-vehicles—Bam (the Batmobile), Bibi (the Batgirl Cycle), Redbird (Robin’s racecar), Buff (the Bat-Truck), and Batwing (the Bat-plane)—as they help Batman, Batgirl, and Robin keep the streets of Gotham City safe. Whether it’s facing down the Legion of Zoom or one of Gotham City’s notorious Super-Villains, the Batwheels will use their incredible gadgets and creative teamwork to save the day.
Underneath the superhero adventures, “Batwheels” teaches children about what it means to be a hero through its unique “Hero” curriculum. The curriculum aligns with Cartoonito’s Humancentric Learning framework that encourages kids to become the best version of themselves. Every “Batwheels” episode demonstrates a different character strength—self-awareness, concern for others, perseverance, and courage, among others—in overcoming personal and interpersonal challenges and will model how heroes contribute to the greater good.
