The character of Batman has been portrayed by many talented actors on the big screen as well as on TV. A new name has now been included in the roster of actors. The Matrix star Keanu Reeves is the new voice of the Caped Crusader in the new animated flick, DC League of Super-Pets.

It had already been announced that Keanu was going to voice a character in the movie, but the character's name had never been revealed. In a teaser, Reeves’s Dark Knight can be seen bonding with his pet dog Ace, the bat hound that is voiced by comedian and actor, Kevin Hart.

In the teaser, Keanu Reeves' batman can be seen brooding in the park alongside Ace, who has the same vibe. Both the superhero and the hound have a lot in common, like their traumatic childhood and serious demeanor. The trailer quickly cut the tension when Ace pounced on the Dark Knight and started playing with him.

At the end, it was also revealed that Krypto's favorite toy, called 'Squeezy Bruce,' is a Batman-shaped doll that squeaks when squeezed. Ace and Batman's reaction to it was outright hilarious. Unsurprisingly, fans are raving about Reeves' inclusion in the movie, especially as the popular superhero.

The new teaser was strategically launched days after Matt Reeves’ The Batman hit the theaters. A critical as well as a box office success after a long time for DC, Warner Bros. is looking forward to continuing the success streak with DC League of Super-Pets.
