6 Thoughts on Batman: Caped Crusader (Review)
Another Batman animated series has arrived and I actually watched this one. I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s, but now that I think about it, I never really watched The Batman, Brave and the Bold and Beware the Batman. Huh. Anyway, I decided to give caped Crusader a try and I was pleasantly satisfied.
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I am not someone who rallies against constant reboots. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get rebooted every five years or so and still tell pretty much the exact same story, and I’m fine with it. Spider-Man has had no reboots in the past, like, five years than ten people. I just don’t mind if this is what studios want to spend their time and money on. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I won’t. I decided to watch Batman: Caped Crusader and enjoyed myself for the most part. Though I fear that releasing all episodes at once is going to disappear this from the public mind quite quickly.
Either way, join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of Batman: Caped Crusader. Expect FULL SPOILERS for all 10 episodes. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entrySome Sweet DC Comic-Con Trailers
Today is the last day of San Diego Comic-Con, and I’m sure they’ve got some big news coming out. Will anything top what Marvel Studios revealed last night? Who knows! But DC put out a couple of really awesome trailers I wanted to share. There’s a whole bunch of trailers from the event, but I’m gonna sparse them out.
First up is a new trailer for The Penguin, which still looks like an awesome, gritty crime drama, which is exactly what I want this show to be.
I wish we had more references to Batman in this trailer, because he should be a presence in this movie, but I’ll take what I can get. Cristin Milioti looks awesome of Sophia Falcone, and it sounds like they’re doing a bit of The Hangman storyline. Should be a blast! And Colin Farrell looks crazy good!
The Penguin is coming to Max on Sept. 19.
Then we got the first trailer for Creature Commandos, the animated series that kicks off James Gunn’s new DC Universe! And it looks great, as far as I’m concerned.
Looks fun, looks wacky, looks like what I’d expect Creature Commandos to look like. So I’m jazzed for this show. and I’m jazzed to see some of these characters appear in live action afterwards, like Rick Flagg Sr. joining the second season of Peacemaker. So these are definitely some shows I’m looking forward to watching later this year!
Creature Commandos is coming to Max in December.

Comic-Con Kicks Off with Transformers One, Joker 2 Trailers
Comic-Con is in full swing and that means we’re going to get all sorts of new trailers and info and tidbits and reveals and whatnot. I’m going to start things off on this Friday with sharing two new movie trailers that came out this week: Transformers One and Joker: Folie a Deux.
This is the second Transformers One trailer and let’s see if you can spot the difference from the first one.
This trailer is much, much lighter on the Keegan-Michael Key comedy bits and far, far heavier on the Transformers lore stuff. Interesting choice! I bet that was a pretty blatant course correction. This trailer looks much better, I think. Turning the Transformers into a silly, kiddie buddy comedy was a choice, and the movie is probably still that. But now we can see it’s also about the birth of the Decepticons and Megatron’s descent into evil. That’s probably a stronger selling point for the Comic-Con crowd. Also, the humor in the first trailer was trying desperately to be Mutant Mayhem and failing spectacularly, so best to just put that behind them.
Transformers One comes to theaters on Sept. 20.
Then we’ve got Joker 2, which looks good, but I don’t know if I’m looking forward to it.
I didn’t really care for the first Joker movie. It was dark and misanthropic, which was the point, but wasn’t my kind of movie. You also can’t convince me it wasn’t purposefully made for the edgelords out there, to some degree. But these sequel trailers have looked pretty darn cool. They’re very well made trailers, so at least the sequel has that going for it.
Joker: Folie a Deux comes to theaters on Oct. 4.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! Is Gonna Be a Fun Show!
I’ll admit that I was rather disappointed in the latest and fourth season of Harley Quinn. It had lost some of the snap of the first couple of seasons. And that’s probably because the showrunners in the beginning spun off to make Kite Man: Hell Yeah! so I am now very excited to see what they’ve produced!
The trailer looks like a hoot! Funny, wacky, and with some solid, enjoyable characters. We already know that Kite Man is awesome. Now we’ve got Golden Glider to add to the fun. And Bane is back, so that’s awesome. I expect great things from this show! And I hope the fifth season of Harley Quinn is also good!
Kite Man: Hell Yeah! comes to Max on July 18!

Batman: Caped Crusader Looks Pretty Sweet!
There’s a new Batman cartoon coming! We haven’t had one of those in a few years, and this one looks to be pretty spiffy! Batman: Caped Crusader is going to focus on Batman in a 1920s/30s/40s aesthetic, I don’t know which decade this looks to be exactly. It’s all tommy guns and gangsters in full suits. I love the look and feel of the show, based on this first trailer.
As always, I hope we get Robin eventually. But even without the Boy Wonder, this looks very awesome to me. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the focus this trailer puts on detective work. I love the sense of Batman being this lone crusader working from the shadows, instead of already being an omnipresent superhero of might. This trailer looks great!
Batman: Caped Crusader is coming to Amazon Prime starting Aug. 1!
