Amazon Prime Video has released the teaser, trailer and poster for the Batman: Caped Crusader animated series announcing the cast including Hamish Linklater voicing the Dark Knight.
The cast also includes Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn, Christina Ricci as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, and Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent aka Two-Face.
Watch the teaser and check out the poster and details below.
Vanity Fair also has an interview with the cast which includes a new image (above) featuring Alfred.
“I never in a million bajillion years imagined that I would actually get the part. Not only had I never been cast to do voiceover work before this, but also—it’s Batman! You don’t go from zero to Mount Olympus,” Linklater said who is known for Netflix’s Midnight Mass. “Then I got the call and I screamed so loud. I just ran and grabbed my kids and was just like, ‘Dad’s Batman!’”
The actor also says he paid homage to the late Kevin Conroy.
“I think it’s actually off my memory of Kevin Conroy’s voice,” Linklater offered. “When I actually rewatched the shows, I realized that it was different, but I had him in my head.”
Batman: Caped Crusader premiers August 1 on Prime Video. Watch the teaser and trailer below.
What is Batman: Caped Crusader about?
The series is described as: 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.
Batman: Caped Crusader represents Timm’s return to the iconic DC character in animated episodic television, which began with the Emmy® Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series.
Praised by many to be the gold standard of animated superhero storytelling, Batman: The Animated Series is considered one of the best depictions of the Dark Knight in any medium.
Now, nearly 30 years since the series premiered, Timm once again takes on the mantle of the Bat alongside two of the most acclaimed filmmakers in the industry: J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves.
Utilizing state-of-the-art animation techniques and technologies available, this powerful creative partnership will once again reinvent Batman and his iconic rogue’s gallery with sophisticated storytelling, nuanced characters and intense action sequences all set in a visually striking world.
