DC Studios has released the trailer for 'Batman: Caped Crusader,' an animated rendition of the Dark Knight housed by Amazon MGM Studios. The series promises a thornier version of Batman. The trailer opens in Gotham City, where residents express their views on Batman, revealing they would either 'lock him up' or admit to being scared of the superhero. All 10 episodes of the animated series created by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves will premiere on Prime Video starting Thursday, August 1.
The series stars Hamish Linklater as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Christina Ricci as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent/Two-Face. The ensemble cast also includes 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.
The tagline reads, "In Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes someone both more and less than human—the Batman."
