Batman: Caped Crusader Gets First Poster
Batman: Caped Crusader has gotten a first poster, as the promotional campaign for the new animated series begins.
Batman: Caped Crusader has released a new promotional poster, which you can check out below!
The poster evokes the classic style of Batman: The Animated Series, in the new stye of Batman: Caped Crusader's animation. Batman is seen hanging from a red neon sign that partially spells the name "Gotham," with the Caped Crusader hanging off the "H." Again, it's the mix of classic and new Batman iconography that fans loved in Batman: TAS.

Hamish Linklater leads the cast as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with the cast also including Christina Ricci, Minnie Driver, Eric Morgan Stuart, Michelle C. Bonilla, Krystal Joy Brown, John DiMaggio, Mckenna Grace, Jason Watkins, Paul Scheer, Reid Scott, Gary Anthony Williams, Dan Donohue, David Krumholtz, and Haley Joel Osment.

Batman: Caped Crusader Villains Revealed
A cast announcement video revealed Linklater's Batman voice and the Dark Knight's rogue's gallery: The Penguin, Catwoman, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, the pyromaniac Firebug, Natalia Knight (in the comics, a reformed career criminal with photosensitive skin known as Nocturna, the mistress of the night), the phantom criminal called Gentleman Ghost, and Clayface (the Golden Age Clayface of the 1940s was Basil Karlo, a once-famous character actor and makeup expert turned costumed killer). Caped Crusader reimagines Dr. Harleen Quinzel as Asian American — and Bruce Wayne's psychologist. Here, her alter-ego as the jester-costumed Harley Quinn is independent from the Joker, who is noticeably absent from the roundup of Batman characters.
Batman: Caped Crusader premieres on August 1st, only on Amazon Prime Video.
