Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) You could be forgiven for wondering whether the character of Batman, everyone’s favourite caped vigilante billionaire, has much more to offer storytellers, but this is proof otherwise. Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Ben Travers indieWire Casual fans should be happy, die-hards will find plenty to savor, and a new generation may be about to discover a Bat-series to call their own. Rated: B+ Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com While origin stories are undeniably overdone, the return to the basics here feels fresh after years of moody Batmen in film and television. Rated: 3/4 Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Derek Sante KSNV (Las Vegas) Fans of the original Batman: The Animated Series will see similarities. Rated: B Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice Caped Crusader digs deep into the shadows of Batman’s history to create fastidiously crafted, slightly macabre stories that both lean into its heritage while retconning the mythology. Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Proudly donning a similar “dark deco” style that [Batman] TAS championed three decades ago, Caped Crusader plays like an alternate version of the Batman we used to know.

Bhavesh J I watched all episodes in one go and its a great show. I'm shocked by the audience score. Ngl. Is there an attempt to review bomb this or something? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Nisovaan K Just doing my part to push back against the weirdos upset with a new take on the story. The characters are well-written the the series takes on an interesting tone. To everybody who wants Batman to be the exact same guy he always was, they should stick to the shows they watched when they were kids. There is always room for innovation and this show achieves it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Jarred D More J.J. trash. This is becoming predictable from this clown. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Matthew B I’m really enjoying this, it’s a different take on Batman. The animation is gorgeous, people don’t know what they are talking about. Go in with zero expectations and you’ll enjoy it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review D. C Batman almost doesn’t have any screen time. He is beaten by a man in diapers and up to episode 5 He needs always help to escape or to accomplish anything. Not a show for Batman fans. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Megan e I enjoyed this mashup of nineties-style cartoon with a more modern and diverse “cast”. Fun and the episodes were the perfect length! Worth watching! 4 stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
