More Batman: Caped Crusader! More President! More King of the Hill!
A couple new cartoon trailers arrived yesterday, and I’m gonna share them, because it’s one of those kinds of Thursdays.
First up is a trailer for the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, which should be glad it’s getting a second season at all. I liked the first season just fine, but it feels like such a niche show that nobody is talking about. It’s Batman in a noir setting, and it’s a good adaptation.
Show looks good to me! No sign of Robin, so that’s disappointing. But that Joker looks like fun. And the whole show looks fun. And that’s what trailers need to accomplish: make their show worth watching.
Batman: Caped Crusader returns to Amazon on July 31.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of the King of the Hill revival. I also enjoyed the first season of the revival and I welcome more episodes!
I was a fan of King of the Hill back at the beginning, then fell off halfway through. But it’s a good show, and the revival is a strong one. That first revival season was fun. I like the characters. I like the directions they’re going in. Should be a fine continuation.
King of the Hill returns to Hulu on July 20.
Lastly, we got a full trailer for the Rick and Morty spin-off President Curtis. Looks like more Rick and Morty madness.
I still like Rick and Morty. I’m waiting for the current season to wrap up before I binge it. Obviously the show has fallen from its highest heights. But it’s usually still fun. And this President Curtis trailer looks fun. Honestly, it looks like they just set Keith David up in a room by himself with a microphone and let him just shout random and funny things, then they built the show around that — which could still be fun!
President Curtis is coming to Adult Swim and HBO Max on July 26.

It is Insane to Me that Spider-Noir Exists, But Here We Are
Welp, there’s no going back now. They really have made a whole TV show in which Nicholas Cage stars as Spider-Man Noir in a black and white, semi-serious noir thriller on Amazon. Jeez Louise, people.
I don’t know how to react. I don’t know what to think about it. The show exists. Someone made it. They seem to have done an alright job of it? I can’t really even tell. I don’t even know if he has spider-powers. Cage did a fine job in the Spider-Verse movies voicing a cartoon character…is this even the same character?!
I guess we’re all just gonna have to watch the show and find out…
Spider-Noir comes to Amazon Prime on May 27, in both black and white and color.
One Last Season of The Boys!
Next year will see the fifth and final season of The Boys, which has been an excellent show. I was a fan of the comic, I’m a fan of the show, and I’ve even enjoyed that Gen V spin-off. Good times all around, I say. And we’ve got out first trailer for the final season.
Looks good to me! All the stakes are there. Our heroes are lined up to be heroes. Our villains are gonna be villains to the end. I fully trust the showrunners to bring us home and deliver a great final season. I’m quite confident it won’t be anything like the final story arc on the comic, and that’s fine. I don’t need a faithful adaptation. The show has earned the right to be its own thing.
The final season of The Boys comes to Amazon Prime on April 8.

More Fallout is Right Around the Corner
A new, fuller trailer for the second season of Fallout randomly arrived today and I’m excited to share. The first season was a dream of awesomeness and adaptation, and I’m so excited that the world has embraced this show.
Second season looks great! New Vegas! Deathclaw! Vaulties! All sorts of goodies and goodness and character development and progression. Really good look at everything to come. And we don’t have to wait long!
Fallout returns to Amazon Prime on Dec. 17.

Another Look at New Hazbin Hotel!
The second season of Hazbin Hotel is coming out later this month and I’m pretty excited. The first season was a real banger, and this new trailer for season 2 looks even bigger, wilder and more awesome!
Good vs. Evil! Heaven vs. Hell! More songs! More romance! Probably more trauma and stuff like that as well! Hazbin Hotel is a good show and I’m very excited for a second season…even though I haven’t watched Helluva Boss, which could probably give me more of the same material I enjoy. Oh well.
Hazbin Hotel season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Oct. 29.
