Anson Mount Is Batman AGAIN?! | SNW S4 Trailer & New Trek Merch | Last Week in Star Trek

Anson Mount is returning as Batman in the animated Knightfall trilogy — and Strange New Worlds Season 4 just dropped its trailer. Plus: new Trek merch you'll actually want to own. Welcome back to Blerd Trek: Last Week in Star Trek for the week ending June 27, 2026. This week, the boundary between Starfleet and Gotham got a whole lot thinner. Anson Mount (Captain Pike) is reprising his role as the Dark Knight in Batman: Knightfall Part 1, an animated trilogy adapting one of the most iconic Batman stories ever told. We break down what Mount brings to Bruce Wayne — and the surprising history of Star Trek actors voicing Batman (looking at you, Bruce Greenwood). Then we dive into the Strange New Worlds Season 4 trailer and what it means that Paul Wesley's Kirk is front and center. Are we inching closer to the Original Series timeline — and could Year One actually happen? Plus: a merch roundup featuring the Loungefly Star Trek Tri-Quarter Glow Crossbody Bag, the ultra-limited Hallmark Shuttlecraft Einstein ornament from The Doomsday Machine (only 5,000 units), and Factory Entertainment's gold-pressed latinum bars, Kataan necklace from The Inner Light, and the laser cannon replica from The Cage. 🖖 CHAPTERS: 0:00 — Intro & Anson Mount's Batman return 0:43 — Mount's history as the Dark Knight (Injustice 2021) 1:14 — Why Knightfall is the perfect Batman story for Pike 1:58 — Star Trek actors who voiced Batman (Bruce Greenwood) 2:42 — SNW Season 4 trailer: Kirk, Spock & episodic Trek 3:44 — Ethan Peck & Paul Wesley waiting for Year One 4:34 — Loungefly Tri-Quarter Glow Crossbody Bag ($65) 5:18 — Hallmark Shuttlecraft Einstein Ornament (5,000 units, $45) 6:31 — Gold-Pressed Latinum Bars (Factory Entertainment) 6:51 — Kaatan Necklace from "The Inner Light" ($69.99) 7:10 — Laser Cannon Replica from "The Cage" ($99.99) 7:45 — Outro & what's coming next
