Batman: Caped Crusader has landed on Amazon with an order for two seasons! It’s still crazy to me that WB dropped the DC project, but their loss is Amazon’s gain. This has been one of the most anticipated animated projects to be announced in years! Especially for fans of Batman: The Animated Series.
Timm has previously opened up about the show sharing that it’s “more Batman: The Animated Series Of Batman: The Animated Series.” The show will capture what Timm was originally trying to do with the original animated series, saying, “It sort of goes back to the original principles of the show that we originally came up with in the early ’90s. There were some limitations on what we could do in terms of adult content; in terms of violence and adult themes.” He went on to say, “My idea is basically to say, ‘OK, it’s 1990 again, I can do whatever I want to do this time, and I’ve got JJ and Matt backing me up. on.”
Abrams said so Batman: Caped Crusader“It really is an incredibly complex psychological story about someone who, in a way, needs to be redeemed — and that’s at least the subject of this first season.”
The series was written by an acclaimed comic book writer Ed Brubaker who stated: “Their vision of the show, with a slightly more pulpy take on the character, and a new way of looking at the world of Gotham, set in the past but seen through a modern lens, has really convinced me, and so far every part of it was a blast to work with. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to see what we’ve built up over the last few months in the writers room. All I can say is that it’s not what anyone expects…but in a good way.”
The show will focus on a version of Batman who is completely alone on his journey. Reeves explained, “There’s no Justice League. It doesn’t exist. There are no other superheroes. It’s Batman. You’re looking at this lone figure swimming in Gotham’s cesspool. It’s Batman, alone.”
It’s also been explained that Batman won’t get all of his gadgets since the show takes place before he starts investing money in that stuff. “So initially it will be very low-tech. You know, as he develops as a character, we will start introducing those gadgets and the public will be able to see how he developed the Batmobile using different prototypes. Part of the fun of this series is that we find him discovering these things that, [in] most of the other Batman series, they were already there.”
Are you happy to hear that the series is moving forward on Amazon?
