Batman: Caped Crusader

...it’s campy and ridiculous, but with a hint of introspection toward this dismal city and the people in it.

It’s a moody and unique return to the character’s core, far more than just a Batman show where everyone says “swell”, “broads”, or “he’s got a lot of moxie!”

Fresh take on favourite characters is an entertaining watch.

...will undoubtedly tick all the boxes for B:TAS fans, and will tide other Bat fans over until HBO’s The Penguin series this September.

Linklater’s Batman is more specter than icon, which suits the purposes of this rough-and-tumble pulp revival.

A reinvention of a classic.
