Critics Consensus

Marking Bruce Timm's long-awaited return to the Batman mythos, Caped Crusader is a hard-boiled and retro treat for fans of the Dark Knight's previous animated adventures.

In its 10-episode first season, Caped Crusader takes the foundational aspects of the [Noie] genre — paranoia, conspiracy, and dramatic chiaroscuro visuals — and gives them a spin recognizable to Batman fans but not limiting to newbies.

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.

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.

The long list of Batman villains return, but with new looks, and altered origins that feel fresh but continue to honor the legacy these characters bring with them.

Poverty is a heavy issue in the Western world, and the disparity between the impoverished and the affluent can be felt. The show guides fans to The Narrows and the suburbs, juxtaposing different areas and the people who live there.

What makes Batman: Caped Crusader so frustrating is that it’s very close to having a novel interpretation of Batman.

It was fun enough to follow when it came out, but it being so long between seasons has really killed momentum. Will still check it out when it returns.

The animation and the story, it’s just too perfect. I like where they went with the story. I just realized Matt reeves is one of the producers, no wonder I liked it since I loved the Batman and the penguin. Please keep more coming.

What is people on I finished it and it was good I liked all the villains and it is based off golden age comics and thats why all the costumes were weird the fencing scene that Batman and clayface did is a direct emage to the mask of Zoro because it's in 1940 it takes place in 1940s because it's the golden age so it's the right timeline I don't care about the changes to the villains well there not it's from the comics bullock was a villain first and then was turned into a hero and pennyworth was fat from the golden age turned skinny if you did not like any of the changes go cry to the creater and the person that did the batman 2022 helped on this show matt Reeves so I'm excited for season 2.
