The first trailer for Prime Video’s Batman: Caped Crusader has been released, showcasing a new Batman actor, Hamish Linklater.
Following a successful panel at Annecy during the Annecy Animation Festival, Prime Video has released the first trailer for their latest Batman project, following 2023’s Merry Little Batman. The full cast of the series was also revealed. You can watch the trailer below.
The synopsis for the series reads:
“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.”
Joining the project are actors Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) as Batman, Christina Ricci (The Adams Family) as Catwoman, Jamie Chung (Lovecraft Country) as Harley Quinn, and Diedrich Bader as Two-Face. In addition, Mckenna Grace, Toby Stephens, Reid Scott, Dan Donohue, Gary Anthony Williams, Jason Watkins, John DiMaggio, Krystal Joy Brown, Michelle C. Bonilla, Eric Morgan Stuart, Tom Kenny, and Minnie Driver have all joined the cast.
Batman: Caped Crusader is produced by Matt Reeves (The Batman) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker). The series premieres August 1 on Prime Video, with all ten series episodes dropping simultaneously.
