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!

Here’s a New Look at that Penguin TV Show (No, the New One)
The Penguin is still coming to Max, now set for a September release. I’m excited. I very much enjoyed The Batman movie and I think it’s a great idea to actually see that spin off into a legitimate TV show. Plus, TV has been making successful and enjoyable crime shows for decades. Surely somebody can take that winning formula and apply it to Gotham City, right?!
I think it looks good. Colin Farrell is obviously going to great lengths to bring this character to life, and he was very entertaining in The Batman. So just apply that to a hopefully gripping, dangerous and exciting crime show and we could have magic happen! And then, hopefully, somebody will just turn Gotham Central into a TV show as well, in the same universe.
And hopefully they won’t be afraid to use Batman, at least a little.
The Penguin comes to Max in September.

Tuesday Trailer Dump
So I haven’t been very busy posting the past few days because I’ve been busy and because we’re at the start of a heat wave here. It’s gonna be 90+ degrees farenheit where I live for a week straight. That’s insane! So I’m hoping to survive any way that I can, and that includes not worrying about posting.
But I’ve got time now to put this together, so I thought I’d just dump a bunch of trailers I’ve been saving up and talk about them all at once! Just to let you know about some upcoming shows that have me interested. I think they’re mostly shows or show-like projects.
First up, the final season of The Umbrella Academy is coming up. I very much enjoy this show and look forward to seeing it through to the end. Honestly, anything could happen, and I’m down for that.
Looks like fun! Let it be wild and end on a good note. Glad they got to finish this one.
The Umbrella Academy returns to Netflix on Aug. 8.
Next up is a trailer for the next season of Dimension 20! I’ve been a subscriber to Dropout since the very beginning, and I really should feature more of their shows and trailers. They’re becoming way more mainstream, which is awesome! Dimension 20 is their live action role playing show, and next season is Never Stop Blowing Up.
Looks to be a Jumanji situation, where a bunch of characters get sucked into a VHS tape and become new action movie characters. Sadly, there don’t appear to be any sets, but I don’t think they’re playing Dungeons & Dragons this time. I think it’s a homebrew take on Kids on Bikes. So we’ll see!
Never Stop Blowing Up comes to Dropout on June 26, so next week! How exciting.
Lastly, to take things in a complete random direction, is this trailer I saw and liked about a TV show called Sunny coming to AppleTV+. Not every show on that service is a straight up banger, like when I first started watching, but most are pretty good.
Anyway, Sunny is about Rashida Jones investigating the death of her husband with the help of one of those modern robots, in Japan. Could be neat and weird.
I like weird and neat. And I’m largely open to new shows, especially if I randomly find them myself. So this could be something fun! Or maybe nobody will ever talk about it ever again. We’ll see.
Sully comes to AppleTV+ on July 10.

Arcane Season 2 Trailer!
I didn’t know this was coming today, but heck yeah, it’s here! The first full trailer for Arcane season 2! The hit show that took everybody by storm a few years ago is coming back for more! And it looks great!
Look, simple as this: Arcane season 1 was amazing. And there’s every indication that season 2 will be just as good, if not better. So I’m getting everybody’s hopes up! Live the hype! Love the hype! Watch and enjoy!
Arcane season 2 is coming to Netflix in November.

Here’s That Ninja Turtles Trailer I Was Waiting For
On Friday, we got a trailer for the upcoming Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I was hoping to post it on Friday, but it didn’t come out until the evening and I was already busy with other stuff by then. So here it is now!
I enjoy how well they’ve captured the look and feel of Mutant Mayhem. I don’t like that it’s only going to be like 12 episodes. Everything is of so few episodes these days. And it’s weird that the focus is on splitting up the turtles, like that’s a selling point. Just weird.
Anyway, could be a fun cartoon, and it comes to Paramount+ on Aug. 9.
