Bruce Timm's 'Batman: Caped Crusader' Faces Mixed Reception

The new Amazon series revisits the world of 'Batman: The Animated Series' with a more mature take, but struggles to capture the original's magic.

'Batman: Caped Crusader' is a spiritual successor to the 1990s classic, created by Bruce Timm.
The series aims for a darker, more adult tone, incorporating themes like police brutality and same-sex relationships.
Despite these updates, some critics feel the show fails to innovate beyond its predecessor.
Amazon picked up the series after HBO Max dropped it, ordering two seasons.
The show is part of a broader trend of 1990s animated reboots targeting millennial nostalgia.
