Batman's Initial Trailer for Caped Crusader Poses a Vital Query: What's Next?
Cracking open Gotham's darkest corners: The infamous guardian of Gotham City is none other than its most reviled resident, as hinted in the fresh trailer for the upcoming animated series, Batman: Grim Patroller. Executive producers, J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm deliver this thrilling spectacle to Prime Video starting August 1. Highlighting Batman's encounters with the usual suspects such as cops, cunning politicians, street thugs, narcotics traffickers, evil masterminds, and enigmatic adversaries draped in ostentatious costumes, the series kicks off with the central mystery involving a bomb-striker. The aforementioned trailer serves up the best sneak peek we've had yet of Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) lending his distinctive voice to the title character, although the screen time for Bruce Wayne is limited. Accompanying Linklater are stars like Christina Ricci as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, all prominently featuring in the trailer.
The rest of the stacked cast includes 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. Described as a fresh take on the Batman mythos, Batman: Grim Patroller is a continuation of Timm's beloved Batman: The Animated Series, bolstered by Abrams and Reeves' (The Batman) dynamite collaboration.
Though Batman is no stranger to Warner Bros., the Batman: Grim Patroller series will be exclusively available on Prime Video, with all 10 episodes launching on August 1.
