On August 1, 2024, a new animated superhero noir series is coming to Amazon Prime (having originally been canceled by HBO). It’s called Batman: Caped Crusader and will follow the action-packed adventures of the iconic superhero in his home city of Gotham.
It looks fantastic — the look and tone are impressively on-point in the images we’ve seen — and is set to reimagine the mythology of the original animated series in a much darker fashion. The general story will, of course, follow the usual Batman lore — the wealthy son of murdered socialites becomes a vigilante, utilizing incredible martial arts skills and a plethora of high-tech gadgets.
On June 20, a teaser trailer for the series hit the internet. It gave fans a tiny sneak peek of what’s to come, including the many stars who’ll be lending their voice to the series.
