Originally ordered by Max, the series was rescued from cancelation and is now being executive produced by Bruce Timm, known for his work on Batman: The Animated Series. The series is set in the 1940s, giving it a unique noir atmosphere different from previous Batman adaptations.
The opening credits for Batman: Caped Crusader have been released, featuring key executive producers such as J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves. The voice cast includes Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Christina Ricci as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and other talented actors bringing the characters to life.

The art style of Batman: Caped Crusader is a departure from previous Batman cartoons but still feels like a natural progression.
