Amazon is teasing the new show Batman: Caped Crusader.
Batman: Caped Crusader hails from Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions and 6th & Idaho, with Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves as executive producers.
The show is a reimagining of the Batman mythology from DC Comics.
Batman: Caped Crusader is set in Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear.
"Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human -- the Batman. His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications," an official synopsis reads.Character descriptions include:
Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, "a cold, remorseless avenger of evil" who devotes "every fiber of his being" to the eradication of crime.
Dr. Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, a brilliant psychiatrist who, as Harley Quinn, becomes "a creepy, quiet, calculating menace who secretly dispenses her twisted justice to the truly despicable among her elite clientele."
Commissioner Jim Gordon, a beat cop close to retirement, whose "unassailable character brings him into conflict with dirty cops and crooked politicians, alike."
Basil Karlo, aka Clayface, a B-movie actor with "unique" facial features who becomes disfigured after using an experimental serum that promised to change his face. His disfigurement "ruptures the last of his sanity -- creating the tragic, vengeance seeking villain, Clayface."
Batman: Caped Crusader will consist of 10 episodes, all of which will premiere Aug. 1 on Prime Video.
