ScreenRant is proud to present an exclusive sneak peek of High Potential season 1, episode 10, "Chutes and Murders." Airing on ABC on Tuesday, January 21 at 9 p.m. Et, the new installment will see Morgan and Karadec investigate a particularly bizarre murder scene. The official synopsis reads: "A nanny is found bludgeoned to death in the park. Elsewhere, Morgan interferes when Elliot admits to not being invited to his classmate’s party."

The clip opens with Morgan trying to convince Karadec to taste her sandwich at the diner, while the detective emphasizes the importance of being discreet during their stakeout.

Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star finally returns to primetime with the season five premiere, “Both Sides, Now.” But there’s bad news for fans of the popular drama; Fox has confirmed the new season will be the show’s last.

The fifth and now-final season debuts on September 23, 2024. New episodes of the 12 episode season will air on Mondays at 8pm Et/Pt, followed by the lifeguard drama Rescue: Hi-Surf set on Hawaii’s North Shore.

McClain’s departure was a surprise and altered plans for the fifth season.

Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm has returned to the world of the Dark Knight with Batman: Caped Crusader on Prime Video, but he once had the opportunity to do a proper revival of The Animated Series. If you’re wondering why that didn’t happen, it’s because he turned it down.

While speaking with The Wrap, Timm said that Warner Bros. approached him four or five years ago with the idea of bringing back Batman: The Animated Series. At the time, the studio was about to launch its own streaming service and clearly saw the draw of new episodes. “They said, ‘Hey, how would you feel about going back and making some more ‘B:tas’ episodes?’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, we’d been there, we’d done that.’ I wasn’t interested in just revisiting that world,” Timm explained.

Timm did consider developing a Justice League animated...

We’ve got another new Batman arriving on the scene this week, but no, not in live action. Hamish Linklater will lend his voice to the dark knight in “Batman: Caped Crusader.”

The new animated series from Prime Video is a “reimagining” of the Batman mythology fans know and love, this time told by executive producers J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves and Bruce Timm. Reeves is, of course, responsible for creating “The Batman,” and will be helming the sequel, while Timm has produced previous animated projects including “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Batman Beyond.”

Along with Abrams, Reeves and Timm, “Batman: Caped Crusader” executive producers include Ed Brubaker, James Tucker, Daniel Pipski, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register.

Here’s what you need to know about the series.

When is the “Batman: Caped Crusader” release date?

The series premiered on Thursday, August 1.

Where is it streaming?

“Batman: Caped Crusader” is available to stream on Prime Video.

This Batman review contains spoilers.

Everything you need to know about Batman: Caped Crusader happens in the opening credits. Sepia-tone shots of Batman glowering from a rooftop or skulking through empty rooms give way to images of the Gotham police office and gangsters firing tommy guns, all set to a moody, mournful score. Fancy art-deco script introduces the creatives involved, including producer credits for J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.

Then there’s Bruce Timm, whose influence on the series is unquestionable from the moment the credits scene kicks off. Caped Crusader plays like an updated version of the great Batman: The Animated Series, which Timm created with Eric Radomski. Male characters may not have the same barrel chests and female figures don’t all have hourglass shapes, but the same linework and designs from the ’90s show is present. Each frame appears painted on black matte paper again,...

It's a full month at Prime Video and Freevee! This August, get ready for the Season 2 premiere of Prime Video's "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Based partially on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Silmarillion” and set thousands of years before the events of the original “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the epic series covers the major events of Middle-earth’s Second Age, including the forging of the eponymous Rings of Power, the rise of the Sauron, and the last alliance between elves and men. The second season will premiere late in the month on Aug. 29, but first, take your own quest there and back again: on Aug. 1, both “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies will be available on the streamer.

The new month will also usher in the premiere of “Batman: Caped Crusader,” a new noir take on “Batman: The Animated Series” from original creator Bruce Timm.

Batman: Caped Crusader features a star-studded cast with experienced voice actors, offering a fresh take on familiar characters. The series serves as a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series, set in a 1930s or 1940s era, showcasing a younger Batman. The show will explore the psychological depths of Gotham's inhabitants, with a mix of iconic villains and allies from Batman's lore.

The cast for Batman: Caped Crusader is filled with talent and experience from a wide variety of notable actors. Batman: Caped Crusader serves as a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series, despite having an all-new cast. The series will follow a much younger Batman who has just begun his vigilante heroism in Gotham City, as the criminal presence in the city rises to new heights.

The animation style is similar to Batman: The Animated Series, although the show makes a conscious effort to set it in an...

Batman: Caped Crusader is only a day away from being released and I have already watched the series and reviewed it on our site. The only thing I want to say is that I am so excited for all the Batman and specifically Batman: The Animated Series fans to watch this series. The upcoming Prime Video series was described as the spiritual successor to The Animated Series and that’s exactly what it is.

Set in the 1940s, Caped Crusader follows a new-to-the-job Batman who doesn’t have many fancy gadgets but what he does have is a brilliant mind for clues and his fists to keep the weirdos and costumed supervillains in check. With the help of his allies, Batman fights against the rising criminal activities in Gotham. So, if you love Batman: The Animated Series and are excited about all the mayhem in Batman: Caped Crusader, here are...

The first name you see in the opening credits of Prime Video’s new Batman: Caped Crusader cartoon isn’t Hamish Linklater, who plays Bruce Wayne, nor anyone else in the voice cast. It isn’t executive Matt Reeves, who has earned a fair share of Bat-credibility from directing Robert Pattinson in The Batman. Nor is it executive producer J.J. Abrams, who even in his fallow post-Rise of the Skywalker period remains one of the biggest names in nerd pop culture.

No, Caped Crusader wastes no time in making its...

Following the release of a Batman: Caped Crusader promo featuring Firebug, Gentleman Ghost, and Nocturna, PrimeVideo's marketing for the upcoming series is now focusing on Onomatopoeia And Clayface.

According to Discussing Film, Clayface will be voiced by Dan Donohue and Onomatopoeia by Reid Scott.

In addition to the villain-focused promo video, we have the first clip from the series, revealing Hamish Linklater's gravely Batman voice.

From Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, the series premieres all 10 episodes on August 1 on Prime Video.

Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’

Continuing,...

Bruce Timm’s Batman: Caped Crusader begins with a group of armed goons getting up to no good in the middle of the night. “There ain’t no freakin’ Batman,” one of them confidently proclaims, only to have the last word cut off by an expertly thrown Batarang. It’s a quick, effective way of telling us where in this oft told and re-told story we’ll be picking up: This Batman might still be early enough in his crimefighting career that his very existence is in doubt, but the caped crusader (gruffly voiced by Hamish Linklater) is no beginner.

Timm, creator of Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond, has described Caped Crusader as less like Frank Miller’s original story comic Year One and something closer to Week Two. This isn’t Christian Bale’s Batman clambering around Gotham with a ski mask and a handful of gadgets.

Fans at this year's San Diego Comic-Con were treated to an early screening of Batman: Caped Crusader, but the biggest news which came out of the panel relates to a potentially controversial casting decision.

While fans of the Dark Knight's corner of the DC Universe will know the vigilante typically matches wits with Oswald Cobblepot, this 1940s version will have to contend with a new, female Penguin: Oswalda Cobblepot.

Entertainment Weekly caught up with Minnie Driver to discuss her role in the upcoming Prime Video series and the Good Will Hunting star says she jumped at the chance to reinvent such an iconic character. "That's what's so brilliant about what he's reimagined. The expansion of this particular character feels so timely. For such a vintage noir show, it's incredibly modern."

Driver will also get the chance to sing as Batman: Caped Crusader's Penguin, a challenge she was quick to embrace.

Today, Prime Video revealed Minnie Driver as the voice of Oswalda Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, during the Batman: Caped Crusader panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. The panel for the new animated series started with a video message from executive producer Bruce Timm, who welcomed fans to the panel and kicked off the world premiere screening of the first episode, where Oswalda Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, was revealed for the first time.

Following the screening, executive producer Matt Reeves and series voice cast members Hamish Linklater, Jamie Chung, and Minnie Driver had a lively conversation about the show and their roles in it.

The day before, Friday, July 26, Prime Video gave fans a sneak peek of the show by revealing an exclusive new clip from Batman: Caped Crusader at the end of their “Adapting Fan Favorites: A Conversation with Prime Video’s Adult Animation Creators” panel that also featured Invincible,...

Minnie Driver is joining the DC animated universe in an unexpected role.

On Saturday, the Academy Award nominee was announced as the voice of Oswalda Cobbelpot, a gender-swapped version of The Penguin, during Batman: Caped Crusader‘s panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

The first episode of the series was screened during the panel, featuring Driver’s debut as The Penguin.

Driver was in attendance, participating in a talk following the screening with co-stars Hamish Linklater and Jamie Chung, as well as executive producer Matt Reeves. The panel kicked off with a video message from EP Bruce Timm.

J.J. Abrams also produces the 10-episode animated series, which is available to stream Thursday, Aug. 1 on Prime Video.

Minnie Driver is taking on an iconic Batman villain, with a twist.

She’ll voice Oswalda Cobblepot, a female interpretation of The Penguin, in Prime Video’s upcoming animated series “Batman: Caped Crusader.”

The news was revealed during the Saturday San Diego Comic-Con panel for the hotly anticipated show, which started with a video message from executive producer Bruce Timm. He welcomed fans before kicking off the world premiere screening of the first episode, where Driver’s Penguin is unveiled for the first time.

Following the screening, executive producer Matt Reeves and the series’ voice cast, including Driver, Hamish Linklater as Batman and Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn, had a lively conversation about the show and their roles.

Driver acknowledged that some purists may take issue with a female Cobblepot, but she insists that the character still brings the essence of The Penguin. “If we’re lucky enough to be...

The forthcoming Batman: Crusader is set to highlight some of Batman's lesser-known rogues as confirmed in the latest teaser trailer.

Firebug, Gentleman Ghost, and Nocturna's powers and abilities are sure to put a fledgling Batman to the test.

The series, created by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves, will launch all episodes on Prime Video on August 1.

Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’

Continuing, he added, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?"

Other villains confirmed to appear include Harley Quinn,...

A new poster for Batman: Caped Crusader has been released and it sees the Dark Knight walking down what may be a familiar alleyway as the shadows of his villains loom large.

So, who do we see here? Well, from left to right, there's Onomatopoeia, Two-Face, Catwoman, The Penguin, Harley Quinn, and a mysterious masked character we're having some trouble identifying.

There's a lot of intrigue surrounding this series, particularly given the creative team involved. While it isn't the Batman: The Animated Series many fans initially hoped for, it certainly feels like a spiritual successor, even with a vastly different setting - 1940s Gotham City - and a Bruce Wayne who has only just started his vigilante career.

Back to the hero's rogues gallery, though, and it sounds like they'll be undergoing their own reinvention in the Prime Video series.

"Even if a [Batman: The Animated Series] version of those characters were a 100% successful,...

Prime Video has released the first clip from Batman: Caped Crusader and it features Gotham City's Dark Knight chasing down some crooks in the iconic Batmobile.

A lot of split screen is utilised here (Ang Lee's Hulk would be so proud) and while this is a kid's show - we recently learned it won't boast a TV-ma rating - Batman isn't holding back as he mows down his foes.

Fans have high expectations for the show, especially as it's a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series. However, the animation style and Bruce Timm's involvement are where the similarities end as this version is a rookie vigilante in 1940s-era Gotham.

It also sounds like Bruce Wayne will take a backseat as we pick up with the billionaire during his "Week Two" as Batman.

As executive producer James Tucker recently put it, "[Batman: Caped Crusader] feels more like an...

Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader looks set to put a completely new spin on the iconic DC Comics character. However, when the series was first announced, many fans hoped it might serve as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series.

After all, it had been confirmed that producers Matt Reeves (The Batman) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) would be joined by the creative mastermind behind the classic series, Bruce Timm.

Instead, the show - which was offloaded by Warner Bros. Discovery to Amazon after originally being developed for Max as part of a series of cost-cutting measures - will take us to 1940s Gotham City and "Week Two" of Bruce Wayne's time as Batman.

Talking to Empire Magazine (via Toonado.com), Timm revealed that Batman: Caped Crusader will make a major change to Bruce's transformation into a masked vigilante...specifically in regards to when he chooses to suit up.

Bruce Timm is responsible for Batman: The Animated Series and returns to the Dark Knight's world with next month's Batman: Caped Crusader when the series launches on Prime Video.

Produced by Timm alongside J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves, the series takes place in the 1940s and pulls inspiration from the character's earliest comic book adventures. The setting isn't the only big change, though, as Timm says this story plays out even earlier in Batman's vigilante career than Frank Miller's "Year One."

"Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth," he tells Empire Online (via Toonado.com). "It’s not 'Year One.' It’s more like 'Week Two.'"

Elaborating on what looks to be a very different approach to Batman, Timm adds, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you...

Batman: Caped Crusader features an expansive cast and a noir, 1940s-set story. The series promises a large and diverse roster of villains, including lesser-known characters. The animated series offers a chance to explore Batman's full Rogues Gallery, potentially influencing future live-action projects.

2024's upcoming Batman: Caped Crusader looks to be giving DC fans something no Batman movie ever has. The recent trailer for DCs newest Batman series shows off its expansive cast, including familiar faces like Bruce Wayne, Harley Quinn, and Selina Kyle. These characters have had their fair share of iterations over the years, including in several successful animated Batman shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Unlimited. But Caped Crusader is going further than usual.

Set in 1940s Gotham, Caped Crusaders story will follow Bruce in his early days fighting crime as Batman. Though he is fighting for the citys safety, he will also have to...

Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear.

Batman: Caped Crusader will be released on Prime Video in August, and DC fans can now see a full trailer for the new superhero series from Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves. The series will have ten episodes and all will be released simultaneously.

Last week we learned that Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater is leading an all-star voice cast for Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves, and J.J. Abrams' hotly anticipated animated series Batman: Caped Crusader. Now, Prime Video have given us our first look at the Bat in action with the enigmatic first trailer for the Batman: The Animated Series spiritual successor, which sees Gotham's finest — and worst — all out to get the Dark Knight. Check it out below:

An unhinged bomber's on the loose, supervillains — Harley Quinn! Two-Face! The Penguin! And is that Green Arrow serial killer Onomatopoeia? — stalk the streets of Gotham, and the city's vigilantist hero is also the biggest target of its leaders and citizens' disdain. "What do you think about the Batman?" asks Gotham's mayor at the start of this tense new trailer. On present evidence, what we think is that this Batman is looking pretty darn good.

Hamish Linklater, Christina Ricci, Jamie Chung and Diedrich Bader will bring iconic characters from the Dark Knight’s world to animated life Prime Video’s Batman: Caped Crusader, which is premiering Thursday, Aug. 1.

The first trailer for Batman: Caped Crusader has been released and the Dark Knight is quickly revealed to be a problem for both Gotham City's underworld and its police department.

They're determined to bring the Dracula-like vigilante to justice and it appears Batman will have to fight a war on two fronts as he sets out to protect his home. This sneak peek highlights many of the villains he'll have to contend with, including Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and a few relatively obscure offerings from the comics.

The 1940s setting seems to fit Batman: Caped Crusader well and, perhaps most importantly, Hamish Linklater sounds the part. Following in the footsteps of an actor like Kevin Conroy is no easy feat, but casting for the Prime Video series appears to be on point.

"I never in a million bajillion years imagined that I would actually get the part," the actor recently admitted.

The Dark Knight returns. Prime Video has debuted the first trailer for “Batman: Caped Crusader,” a new animated series executive produced by “Batman: The Animated Series” co-creator Bruce Timm, as well as J.J. Abrams and “The Batman” director Matt Reeves.

The first footage reveals a brewing gang war in Gotham City, as well as a police campaign to hunt down Batman. The trailer also teases numerous villains from the DC Comics, including the Penguin, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and District Attorney-turned-criminal Harvey Dent. Viewers are also given a preview of Hamish Linklater’s voice performance as the Caped Crusader/Bruce Wayne.

Along with Linklater, the voice cast includes Christina Ricci as Catwoman aka Selina Kyle, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn and Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent. Other notable actors among the voice ensemble include Minnie Driver, McKenna Grace, Eric Morgan Stuart, Michelle C. Bonilla, Krystal Joy Brown, John Dimaggio, Paul Scheer,...

Originally announced back in 2021, “Batman: Caped Crusader” was a project that was set up at HBO Max, but it’s found a new home at Prime Video for premiere on August 1.

The upcoming “Batman: Caped Crusader” is said to be a “reimagining of the Batman mythology” from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Bruce Timm, Sam Register and Ed Brubaker.

“Welcome to 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 something both more and less than human—The Batman.

“His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the Gcpd and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.”

The first teaser poster for Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader has been released today (via Toonado.com) and it features the show's Dark Knight keeping a watchful eye over 1940s Gotham City.

It's a striking piece of imagery and that's fitting for a take on Batman which draws inspiration from the hero's earliest comic book adventures. With any luck, this means we're getting a teaser trailer sooner rather than later as the long-delayed show's August premiere is fast approaching.

Original plans called for Batman: Caped Crusader to premiere on Max, but a series of cost-cutting measures by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav saw it offloaded - along with a handful of other animated projects, including Merry Little Batman - to Amazon.

Batman: Caped Crusader Cast - Meet the New Dark Knight in Prime Video's Animated Series - Main Image

The opening of the newest chapter in the Batman mythos is right around the corner. DC fans are thrilled to find out who's been cast on Prime's Batman: Caped Crusader. Well, you're in luck. The streamer just confirmed who's voicing our favorite billionaire/vigilante.

Kevin Conroy is Not in Caped Crusader But Was Planned To Be

The late, great Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy was reportedly returning for a role in Batman: Caped Crusader, but not as the titular Dark Knight Hero, which Bruce Timm previously debunked.

It remains to be seen what Timm had in store for Conroy back then, but either way, Prime recently announced who the new actor will fill in the latter's shoes in the upcoming series.

As a part of the big cast announcement for Batman: Caped Crusader,...

The series, which had been set for a Max debut before it was offloaded to Amazon, is produced by Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves, and J.J. Abrams. It will launch with a 10-episode first season that pulls inspiration from Batman's earliest comic book adventures.

A new Batman is here to save Gotham City.

Media watchdog GLAAD released its Studio Responsibility Index on Thursday, using its annual ranking of queer representation in mainstream films to stand with striking unions SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America.

Convening in-person at the Los Angeles LGBTQ Center’s Ed Gould Plaza in Hollywood, leadership from both show business unions, queer talent and GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis spoke of the dangers that work stoppages from the strikes pose to inclusive storytelling.

“The fight for worker empowerment and the fight for authentic LGBTQ plus representation in media is all part of the same struggle,” said Duncan Crabtree Ireland, chief negotiator for the actors union. Crabtree Ireland’s profile has risen significantly since he appeared alongside SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher at their fiery strike announcement press conference in July. He took the GLAAD event as a moment to make the personal political.

Michelle C. Bonilla has little doubt that gay male actors have it far harder than their female counterparts in Hollywood. Indeed, the openly lesbian Bonilla did not encounter discrimination in the industry because of her sexual orientation until fairly recently. Her newly acquired agent viewed her short "Slip Away" and was not happy. Written by and starring Bonilla, the autobiographical film details a troubled lesbian relationship. It was being shown on the festival circuit and generating good buzz."The agent sent me an email saying he and I did not represent the 'same type,' " she recalls. "I had heavy-hitting people from the casting world at that same screening embrace me and support me. I had tons of talent and businesses helping me on the film, including corporations. It was hard to believe that someone who had seen the same film had such a completely opposite response. You'd think an agent.

Question: I had just finished watching Run Fatboy Run, and I was raving to my friend about how beautiful and talented I think Thandie Newton is. My friend said that Thandie is bisexual...is this true? Is she definitely bisexual?

— Lindsey, New Orleans, Louisiana

Thandie Newton

Answer: Since it's really up to the individual in question to officially label their sexual orientation, I think it's safer to say that she's "potentially" bisexual.

Actress Thandie Newton (W., Crash) is married to director Ol Parker, who made many new lesbian friends when he wrote and directed the romantic comedy Imagine Me & You (2005), starring Piper Perabo and Lena Headey.
