The destiny of 5 of these titles continues to be within the air, however a two-season order for Caped Crusader is welcome information after a yr that noticed so many high-profile initiatives canceled, and titles faraway from platforms.
Batman: Caped Crusader is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Abrams’ Unhealthy Robotic Productions, and Reeves’ sixth & Idaho. The present is a throwback to the long-lasting 1992-1995 Batman: The Animated Collection, co-created by Timm.
The present’s logline reads: “Using state-of-the-art animation strategies, this highly effective inventive partnership will as soon as once more reinvent Batman and his iconic rogue’s gallery with subtle storytelling, nuanced characters, and intense motion sequences all set in a visually hanging world.”
Caped Crusader might not be the lone animated DC title on Prime Video for lengthy. One of many first productions introduced by new DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran after they took the reins late final yr was Creature Commandos, a seven-episode animated collection penned by Gunn. They didn’t point out how that collection could be distributed, however Prime Video appears a possible vacation spot if the present doesn’t go to HBO Max.
Based on Safran, “Now we have the flexibility to promote outdoors of HBO Max if that is smart. So we’ll work out if there are particular exhibits developing that may be higher served elsewhere, or [if] there’s not actual property on HBO Max for us. However we like the thought of getting exhibits on Amazon and Hulu and Netflix. It simply broadens the DC viewers.”
Given each Dungey and Safran’s feedback, it appears possible there could possibly be a lot extra DC animated content material headed to Prime Video quickly.
