Batman: Caped Crusader is the next big animation project from Amazon Prime Video, and it already has its first official trailer. The series has brought together several industry heavyweights such as JJ Abrams, Matt Reevesdirector of Batmanand Bruce Timmthe creator of Batman: the animated seriesthe acclaimed television production of the nineties.
In the trailer it is clear that Batman: Caped Crusader It is presented as an origin story of the mythical DC Comics hero. The Gotham police go on the hunt for Batman, while trying to figure out who he is and what his intentions are. The protagonist must not only deal with persecution from the authorities, but also with the growing criminal activity that plagues the city.
The first trailer of Batman: Caped Crusader does not fall short when it comes to introducing villains. Among many, Harley Quinn, the Penguin, Catwoman, and Harvey Dent/Two-Face appear. The big absentee from this Amazon Prime Video clip is the Joker, although that does not necessarily mean that he will not appear in this production.
Batman: Caped Crusader It was born as a proposal for Max. However, the HBO platform gave up its development and Amazon Prime Video took over. In fact, the animated series a second season has already been confirmed on the aforementioned streaming service.
As expected, Batman: Caped Crusader It will have a dark and violent tone. And despite not being a continuation of the 90s animated series, Bruce Timm’s hand can be seen in the setting.. The retro aesthetic of Gotham, the cars, the weapons and the evildoers is perfect proof of this. The entire staging actually evokes Batman: The Animated Series.
Peter Giraldifrom Warner Bros. Animation, said months ago: “It’s everything that Bruce Timm wanted to do in the original series, but, because it aired on a children’s channel, he couldn’t. So this definitely has a more slant. “It’s more like him. A complete vision.”
