Batman: Caped Crusader Sets ‘Very Different’ Joker for Season 2 With 2026 Target

The portrayal draws from deep DC Comics history rather than recent film-driven versions.

Overview

  • Co-showrunner James Tucker says the Joker will feel new to fans familiar with Mark Hamill or Jack Nicholson while remaining rooted in long-running comic interpretations.
  • Season 2 is receiving final touches with a planned Prime Video debut sometime in 2026.
  • The Season 1 finale briefly teased the character without revealing the full take.
  • Tucker says Matt Reeves did not mandate alignment with his films, signaling creative separation despite Reeves’ producer role.
  • Casting for the Joker has not been announced, with expectations of a new voice following Mark Hamill’s indications he may step back.
