What Is Batman: Caped Crusader About?
In Gotham City, where corruption and crime are rampant, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne transforms into Batman following a personal tragedy. His relentless pursuit of justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but also spawns deadly consequences. This series reimagines Batman’s mythology through the creative lenses of J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm.
Whilethe episodes are self-contained, each one offers us more insight into the characters leading up to the finale.
Like most Batman tales, Bruce is a loner.

Batman: Caped Crusaderwill be available to stream on Prime Video on August 2.
