We finally have a trailer for the upcoming animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, a show from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm that features a star-studded cast.
The trailer sets a noir tone for the upcoming show and gives us a first listen to the voice cast, including Hamish Linklater as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Dr. Harleen Quinzel.
We also find out that Batman is in his early days of exacting vengeance in the night. The start of the clip has the police talking about how he’s beating up street thugs, and also sees him going after bigger foes, including Two-Face (voiced by Diedrich Bader) and a man with an affinity for infernos. Batman is cold as ice when we see him on screen, and he’s described as “something more and less than human.” It’s dark. It’s grim. It’s animated.
The cast is also large and impressive. In addition to Linklater, Chung, and Bader, the show features the voice talents of Christina Ricci, Minnie Driver, Mckenna Grace, Eric Morgan Stuart, Michelle C. Bonilla, Krystal Joy Brown, John DiMaggio, Paul Scheer, Reid Scott, Tom Kenny, Jason Watkins, Gary Anthony Williams, Dan Donohue, David Krumholtz, Haley Joel Osment, and Toby Stephens.
All ten episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader premiere on Prime Video on August 1, 2024.
