Batman: Caped Crusader is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics character Batman. The series is developed by Bruce Timm, and produced by Bad Robot Productions, 6th & Idaho Motion Picture Company, DC Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, and Amazon MGM Studios. Premiered on August 1, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video, the show offers a noir-inspired reimagining of the Batman mythos, focusing on a young Bruce Wayne during the early stages of his crime-fighting career in Gotham City, drawing inspiration from Batman stories of the 1940s and 1960s.

Starring Hamish Linklater as the voice of the titular character, the series explores themes of corruption and crime in a stylized, period setting. The project was first announced in May 2021 and has been noted for its serialized storytelling and deep psychological exploration of its characters. Critics have praised its mature tone and complex portrayal of the superhero, setting it apart from previous adaptations.
