Over the years there have been many Batman cartoons that have come and gone. And though none of them could ever answer what Batman: The Animated Series was in the 90s, a new series could actually give the classic series a run for its money.
According DeadlinePrime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader is set to premiere on the streaming network on August 1st. Judging from the first photos provided, the animation style looks like it will resemble that of the classic 1990s TV series. A Warner Bros. production. Animation, Bad Robot Productions and 6th & Idaho, Batman: Caped Crusader was scheduled to air on HBO Max before it was canceled due to budget concerns. Now that it's on Prime Video, fans will be able to see what JJ Abrams and company have in store. The series is said to be set in the 1940s as Batman was introduced to the world in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Hella smart.

In the series, the bad guys outnumber the good guys as criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear in Gotham City. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something more and less than human – Batman. His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen consequences.
All this Wayne Tech in the 1940s stuff should be pretty interesting. We can't wait.
