Trailer of animated series 'Batman: Caped Crusader' is out

The makers of Batman: Caped Crusader have finally unveiled the trailer for the animated series. It is an animated adaptation of The Dark Knight. The series, which will represent a more complex version of Batman, has been produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

The trailer shows Gotham City being terrorised by the actions of a masked man claiming to be Batman. The police and people are following the superhero to apprehend and punish him.


The trailer starts with a voiceover, "Asking the question on everyone's mind these days, what do you think about the Batman?" In the background, a Batman-like shadow figure can be seen roaming around in the dark before taking flight.

As per the official description, "Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human -- the Batman. His one-man crusade attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Batman: Caped Crusader stars Hamish Linklater as Batman/Bruce Wayne. The other voice artists include Christina Ricci, Jamie Chung, Diedrich Bader, Minnie Driver, Mckenna Grace, Eric Morgan Stuart, Michelle C. Bonilla, Krystal Joy Brown, John DiMaggio, Paul Scheer, Reid Scott, Tom Kenny, Jason Watkins, Gary Anthony Williams, Dan Donohue, David Krumholtz, Haley Joel Osment and Toby Stephens.

The show is from Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho. The series will premiere all 10 episodes on Thursday, Aug. 1, on Prime Video.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
