“We could be looking at an all-out gang war on the streets of Gotham.” Prime Video has revealed the full official trailer for a kick ass new animated series called Batman: Caped Crusader, arriving for streaming in August this summer. Another fresh new take on Batman in animated form, this time it’s developed by Matt Reeves as he continues to work on his The Batman sequel (and The Penguin spin-off series). It’s also co-developed by J.J. Abrams and Bruce Timm. Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human—the Batman. His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies, but his heroic actions will also spawn unforeseen consequences. It’s described as a “re-imagining” though this also seems to be an animated update based on The Batman movie. With the voices of Hamish Linklater as Bruce/Bats, Christina Ricci as Catwoman, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn, Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent, Mckenna Grace, Minnie Driver, Reid Scott, Jason Watkins, Tom Kenny, and John DiMaggio. There was the 1980s video game called Batman: The Caped Crusader, but this looks a lot like the classic 90s Batman Animated Series series as well.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Prime Video’s series Batman: Caped Crusader, from YouTube:
