Prime Video Releases First-Look Images And Announces Premiere Date For New Animated Series 'Batman: Caped Crusader'

May 9, 2024
Today, ahead of its inaugural upfront presentation on May 14, Prime Video announced that the highly anticipated new animated series from Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho, Batman: Caped Crusader, will premiere all ten episodes Thursday, August 1, along with the official first-look images of this thrilling new show. The first-look images give audiences a special peek into the world of Gotham City, and some of the iconic fan favorite characters that will be featured in the upcoming season. The character reveals, with descriptions below include Bruce Wayne/Batman, Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Commissioner Jim Gordon and Clayface.

· BATMAN - A cold, remorseless avenger of evil, seemingly more machine than man. Forged in the fire of tragedy, every fiber of his being is dedicated to the eradication of crime.

· BRUCE WAYNE - To the public at large, Bruce Wayne is a shallow dilettante, apparently wasting his parents' vast fortune on frivolous pursuits and hedonistic pleasures. In fact, he's an elaborate facade, carefully constructed to divert attention from his activities as Batman.

· SELINA KYLE / "CATWOMAN" - Selena Kyle is a blithe and pampered heiress whose family lost their fortune after her father was imprisoned for embezzlement. Despite having the silver spoon yanked from her mouth, Selina refuses to quit living in the lap of luxury and becomes Catwoman as a "fun" way to maintain her lavish lifestyle.

· DR. HARLEEN QUINZEL / "HARLEY QUINN" - Despite a personable and bubbly demeanor, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is a brilliant psychiatrist who treats some of Gotham's elite. However, as Harley Quinn, she is a different person, entirely. A creepy, quiet, calculating menace who secretly dispenses her twisted justice to the truly despicable among her elite clientele.

· COMMISSIONER JIM GORDON - Former beat cop close to retirement, Gordon was hired to play along with the corrupt system and run out the clock till he can draw a pension. But they've sorely underestimated Jim Gordon. His unassailable character brings him into conflict with dirty cops and crooked politicians, alike. Not to mention, he has to reckon with a deranged vigilante beating up Gotham's criminals.

· CLAYFACE - Thanks to his "unique" facial features, screen actor Basil Karlo has been forever typecast as a B-movie heavy. Frustrated by the limitations his appearance put on both his career and personal life (he fell hopelessly in love with his co-star), Karlo turned to an experimental serum that promised to change his face. However, not only does this serum ultimately disfigure his face, but it ruptures the last of his sanity -- creating the tragic, vengeance seeking villain, Clayface.

Batman: Caped Crusader will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide beginning on Thursday, August 1.

Watched few episodes and noticed that to me this animation looks really subpar, judging purely on visual level, literally any 90s animated DC show looked so much better when it came to motion, I understand this show was almost cancelled and it's miracle we got it at all but it seems like Amazon gave it shoestring budget because motion and flow of the animation is really bad.

It has great Bruce Timm designs but they are executed poorly, it's pity that with so much technological advancement this show can't even look as good 30 year old shows or even The Batman animated show of 2000s, only thing that looks undoubtedly great is the backgrounds that really help give show some depth and texture but otherwise it's not really pleasant to watch.

A lot of the reviewers I tend to like are in the same camp, so it's not just you mate.

You're absolutely right .. I just don't understand why they couldn't keep the characters as they were 30 years ago or at least the important ones .. I thought it was going to be like what marvel did with X men 97 ..which has it's flaws .. but still could capture the vibes of the old one .. I really had some high hopes for it .. but it didn't

Batman has some super-human strength there the way he just flung that morbidly obese man like that. This crap happened all the time in BTAS, but it always stinks when it happens. Other than that, solid clip. Strong BTAS vibes and very little TNBA which is a good thing.

Yes .. cool trailer .. you can feel the vibes of batman the animated series in it .. also the voice of the actor who played batman is close enough to the voice of the late Kevin Conroy.. may he rest in peace
