Batman: Caped Crusader Season 1 Trailer: Hamish Linklater voices the Batman, someone more and less than human

Amazon Prime Video dropped the official trailer for the first season of Batman: Caped Crusader, the upcoming series from creators Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves, and JJ Abrams. Based on DC Comics, the series features characters Bruce Wayne/Batman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and Clayface, among others.

The official logline reads thus: "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. His one-man crusade attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and Gotham City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications." 

Hamish Linklater voices Batman/Bruce Wayne, the lead character of the show. The ensemble also includes Christina Ricci, Jamie Chung, Diedrich Bader, 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.

Batman: Caped Crusader was first announced as an HBO Max series back in 2021, but it scrapped the project before Amazon Prime Video revived the show. There is also a second season for the series in the pipeline. The first season of Batman: Caped Crusader, comprising ten episodes, is scheduled to release on August 1 on Amazon Prime Video.
