Back in 2021, it was announced that a new animated Batman reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue was coming, titled Batman: Caped Crusorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious er – intended as a sort of spiritual sequel to the legendary ‘90s Batman: The Animated Series, with that reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ’s creator Bruce Timm returning. Not merely’barely that, but it had JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves on board as executive manufacture rs, Ed Brubaker on the creative team, and got an instant 10-episode series order. It sounded like eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully Batman fan’s dream – except, in August last year, the series was axed at HBO Max amid a bout of Warner Bros. Discointensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully cost-cutting. Good news: it’s taken a while, but the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue eventually’ultimately has a new home.###Now, Amazon has picked up Caped Crusorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious er in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a two-season order on its Prime Video streaming service – despite’in spite of’albeit , according to THR, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mal deals are yet to be token ed. In recent years, Amazon has ploughed further into comic reserve -inspired adult animated fare – from the uncompromising Invincible, to The Boys animated spin-off Diabolical, so while it’s surprising to see a property as huge as Batman end up somewhere other than a Warner Bros outlet, it seems a sensible home in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue . Since the series was first announced, James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought over to shepherd DC – and Caped Crusorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious er won’t be part of their DCU ‘Gods And Monsters’ plan, but operate more like Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II and Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie À Deux as non-canonical ‘Elseworlds’ stories.###On announcement, Abrams and Reeves described the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue as “thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman’s noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters” – and those who grew up on The Animated Series will likely be counting down the days until it eventually’ultimately starts streaming. As in/with regard to’concerning’regarding who will voice Batman – in the wake of the legendary Kevin Conroy passing away last year – that remains to be seen.
