Amazon has swooped in to save Batman: Caped Crusader, which is probably good news for everyone except the Gotham superhero’s parents — after all, they’re usually brutally murdered every time we get a new project about their son. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the animated show from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm has received a two-season order at Amazon after previously being canceled by HBO Max in August. According to THR, Batman comic-book writer Ed Brubaker is heading the writers’ room and executive-producing the ten-episode first season. The DC Comics adaptation was initially green-lit in May 2021 with a straight-to-series order. At the time, a press release promised that the show would “reinvent Batman and his iconic rogue’s gallery with sophisticated storytelling, nuanced characters, and intense action sequences all set in a visually striking world.†Caped Crusader’s creators also said in a joint statement that viewers could expect a return to Batman’s “noir roots.†No release date has been shared yet, so Mr. and Mrs. Wayne can still rest easy for now.
