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 entryRings of Power Season 2 Looks Awesome
I really enjoyed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It was cool, epic, had great prequel-esque moments and was a lot of fun. So I’m definitely excited for season 2, especially with such an awesome Comic-Con trailer.
This looks damn cool! And now that we’ve got Sauron and the Rings of Power revealed, it feels even more attached to LOTR lore. So I’m totally in! I especially enjoyed the halfling and the mysterious stranger, and it’ll be fun to see their story continue. It’ll be fun to see this whole show continue!
The Rings of Power season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Aug. 29!

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!

Some Good TV Shows Are Coming Back!
The finale of X-Men ’97 dropped today, but I can’t watch it until my viewing buddy gets online later tonight. So expect my season review List of Six tomorrow! Today, I’ll busy myself with some trailers for some TV shows I like.
For example, turns out they’re making a second season of The Rings of Power! Not everybody enjoyed that show, but I definitely did, and I’m looking forward to a second season!
I enjoyed the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, despite the clunky name. It had plenty of great LoTR elements, and I really enjoyed the mysterious figure and the proto-hobbits. This trailer leans far far more into the death, evil and destruction side of things, which is fine. But hopefully the whimsy isn’t gone forever.
The Rings of Power returns to Amazon Prime on Aug. 29.
Also, did you see that LEGO has announced an Eye of Sauron/Barad-dur set? Holy crap!
Moving on, there’s going to be a fourth season of Only Murders in the Building!
I enjoy this show as well! Though a lot of people do, so it’s definitely not Rings of Power. The three leads have great chemistry and are super fun together. And I enjoy the mystery element as well. I actually guessed the killer right in one of the seasons! Then guessed wrong in the other two seasons. Oh well. This looks like a lot of fun and can’t wait to return to the show!
Only Murders in the Building season 4 returns to Hulu on Aug. 27.

New Season of The Boys is Gonna Be Gnarly
The Boys is a pretty great show. I enjoyed the comic, but the show has definitely deviated a ton from the comics and is its own thing. And that thing is hugely entertaining! We got a trailer yesterday for the upcoming fourth season!
I don’t remember if the fourth season will be the last or not…probably not? But it looks awesome, looks to be more goodness, and the students from Gen V are mixed in there as well. That should be a hoot! The whole thing should be a ton of fun to watch and I can’t wait.
Oh, also, happy Star Wars Day! I don’t have anything Star Warsy to share…definitely gonna watch Tales of the Sith this weekend.
The Boys new season comes to Amazon Prime on June 13.
