The topic of deformity and its running theme in the rouges gallery reminded me of the legends of the dark knight story “Faces” where Two Face kidnaps a bunch of people with birth defects and deformities to make a new society of out casts who reject the world that has shunned them. Then at the end it’s revealed these people have come to terms with their appearances and want to go back to their real lives. It’s Two-Faces equivalent to the “maybe it was just you all the time”.
I know that Joker is iconic but honestly, i wouldnt mind if he dosent end up being the series because that might mean we would have more stories and charaters we never known or heard of before. I think it would be interesting what they would do for the show and Batman without Joker at all
I think the matching suit trio are Penguin henchmen, it's not uncommon for purple to be used with the character and from his silhouette it looks to be a more classic super villain Penguin than more modern mob boss version and it would make sense for him to dress up his goons like in Brave and the Bold.
A running narrative is a good idea. I just finished watching "Beware the Batman" and liked how although most episodes could be self contained, you also had Anarky acting as an overarching enemy to Batman. A shame that show never got another season, I liked what they did with a lot of the characters, especially Anarky and Prof. Pyg.
If I had to guess, the purple on those guys' suits could mean they're Penguin henchmen. And that could mean that Selina is working with Penguin to help him kill Batman, like their partnership in Batman Returns.
One thing I noticed about Clayface in the trailers is his outfit resembles the Shadow. The Shadow normally wears a black cloak, red scarf, and black hat so that could be a nod to the Shadow.
That's an interesting theory about Clayface. i had also assumed the same thing as you had initially about the man with rhe fist imprint on his face. Looking forward to watching this series!
Thinking about what Batman is like in Caped Crusader makes me wonder if the running narrative will be similar to the theme of The Batman that was also done by Matt Reeves in that Batman will gradually realize on how by removing any traces of Bruce Wayne from him it'll only make problems for him and others around him go from bad to worst since his human side AKA Bruce Wayne is what's keeping him from truly going over the edge and that he needs it more then he realizes to both truly heal himself and the city. Especially if it begins to negatively influence people to take the law into their own hands because of how his misguided actions inspired them. Reason I brought this up is because with how the show's Harley Quinn is taking a twisted path of bringing justice and how she's Bruce's personal psychiatrist she could end up being like Matt Reeve's Riddler and be inspired by his actions to bring justice but in a more twisted fashion making it both a personal and gruesome wake up call to Bruce in that matter to put a stop to his current ways and to try to save her from his mistake. If that ends up being the case then it would be fitting for Harvey in his Two-Face mode to point this out to Batman as a way to say "Buddy what you're doing isn't exactly helping people anymore then before especially to yourself. Trust me I got a nasty wake up call on that front a while ago to my face."
On a somewhat unrelated note…will BTAS Alfred ever get a video essay? Since him and Ace are the final members of the Bat Family you’d have to cover, I’m just curious if they’d be combined into one essay or get their own specific episode.
I was going to, but my Robin and Nightwing essays were a bit of a flop, and Batgirl isn’t exactly setting the world on fire. I will do it one day, when views are a bit higher across the board.
I REALLY hope that this show will be good. It would be an incredible shame if all these interesting new ideas and characterizations get bogged down by boring stories and overly written scripts. Also, having Harvey’s scarred side be his GOOD side is…actually a really interesting idea!
Worth mentioning that theWonder Woman show from the 70s - the one with LindaCarter - used many comic book techniques, like caption boxes and framing of scenes like comics. I hope BCC will use thosetechniques, but they are not new.
Great video. Love being up to date on this series before and when it drops! Like your commentary and by the way, the outro song is really solid for Caped Crusader :) sounds nice
I REALLY don't like the Alfred stuff so far. Too early to judge, obviously, but Bats needs that humanizing element. Without it, he's essentially a non-lethal Punisher. It's his humanity and compassion that makes Batman special. So throwing away that relationship just sits wrong with me.
I hope this is a faithful adaptation to the golden age of Batman comics, unlike My Adventures With Superman which deviated too much from the Man of Steel mythos by being more like Neon Genesis Evangelion where our hero has been framed and discriminated by a group of hypocritical and delusional government agents. Oh, and also turning Kryptonians into intergalactic conquerors ala Saiyans and Viltrumites.
...I actually like government and covert military conspiracies in fiction. Good reason why I adored the CADMUS arc of Justice League Unlimited, am still a fan of Captain America: The Winter Soldier even with the MCU's flaws, and was bummed that the likes of Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and The Owl House didn't bring the idea to its full dangerous potential (here's to hoping a sequel saga compensates that; would love to see expies of XCOM, F.E.A.R., the SCP Mobile Task Forces, Razgriz Squadron, and the Battlezone NSDF laying siege on the town of GF, the land of Amphibia, and the Boiling Isles). Sorry, rambled there.
I wonder if this show will be something of a redemption arc for two-face? But i definitely like the theory of multiple "clayfaces". I hope its less about batman, and more about the villains. It won't be, but I'm always hope for it. A series thats like oceans 11 from various villains pov and bats as a boogeyman would be so cool.
I'm very excited for the new show because Batman is Batman! and I like the long ears. Also, where did the Serum Lake outro music come from? I really like it and it sounds familiar but I can quite clock it
Tbh an idea I had is that maybe that all the purple hat goons work for Joker when he was just a regular guy, sorta like The Red Hood Gang or Batman 89 where he had his own underlings.
Funny thing is, given the time period (Early 20th Century inspiration) that would actually fit! Anarchism was a real hot-button issue in America during that age. I believe old President McKinley was even assassinated by an anarchist. It would be interesting to see the character placed in the context of that age.
YES. Also I’m will get to bet more than 1 season which means we can have more villains like riddler, the ventriloquist, proffer pyg, BANE? I can’t wait!
It looks like this Batman is not a technical pacifist given how he runs over those goons with the Batmobile. Yeah, they could've all survived, but such a maneuver could very well have killed at least one of them and likely lands all three of them in the hospital if not the morgue. Of course, a Batman willing to kill when necessary is not a new idea, as he racked up quite a body count in the '89-'90s live action movies and in certain comics eras, but it is something we haven't really seen for a while.
Remember in The Dark Knight Returns where Harvey Dent finally got his face restored and looked normal? And how he went completely evil because it turns out that Harvey viewed his scarred side to be his good side and his "normal" face to be the evil Two-Face. "At least both sides match now, right? Look at me! And have your laugh..." - Two-Face.
Will this be as Good as X-Men 97 (10 episodes) will it live up to the Hype ? Because so far it looks good & they got a lot of obscure characters i like . But will this show have that pop like X-Men 97 did with its Characters ( like how Gambit died, Bastion and turning thousands of people into Sentinel Cyborgs and stuff ) Like will this Bruce Wayne be worth watching like Cyclops from X-Men 97?
Well, one thing I can say, at least Caped Crusader doesn't have the disadvantage of being a sequel to a very old show that hasn't aged very well to modern viewers nowadays.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Why do you give grave to stuff like Wonder Woman & X-Men like you & others do praising Batman like that's the only successful character that ever lived . I like Batman TAS too but It wasn't my everything I watched other stuff in the 90s & ,00s and even now that have nothing to do with Batman.
@@A1ml33y It's good, but it's no quality pedestal of storytelling as it was before. The voice acting is mixed, the animation can be an eyesore and jarringly uses 90s style live action editing at times, the story arcs become way too haphazardly faithful to the now deemed amateurish comics they based on, and they didn't even use up the full potential of crossovers that should have led to an inevitable mass team-up saga later on. In short, the DCAU and later cartoons (plus anime, because why not; oh, and even older yet surprisingly well made shows like The Real Ghostbusters up to Season 2 and at least six eps from Season 3 onwards) have spoiled me very much against basic camp, cheapness, once beloved tropes from the 80s and 90s, and other roughshod bits that kids would have enjoyed, but self aware adults won't. And as much as I rank Spider-Man: TAS as slightly higher than The Spectacular Spider-Man (but mostly because it had a proper ending that isn't too depressing), it too is no Batman Beyond or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man when it comes to quality rewatchability. A true gem of fiction is one easily revisited, and if it isn't... well, for one, I'd rather revisit Tolkien's rich Middle-earth rather than the surprising glumness of Lewis' Narnia. I don't give grief against Wonder Woman. I just give grief to badly done works surrounding her, like 1984. Meantime, I grudgingly admit that I somehow prefer the live action X-Men movies over the cartoons at some points; however, they too are flawed, but mostly because of outside factors like a scummy director. Other than all that, am just being quite honest with how I feel about the media I know. I'm not doing to diss against you or anything, it's just the fault of being quite blunt and honest on personal opinions... who knows, there'll come many times where I'll actually "throw a dog a sweet bone", in trope speak, and say fervent honest praise over something you and others talk about.
@@SerumLake and he had a good show, too bad the GL movie keeps WB and DC from wanting to shed light on it after WB themselves messed it up. The original script was actually a proper introduction, but then WB went the "let's Titanify Hal" route because of some reason. Should have left it as planned originally...even had a funny joke about who the bad guys worked for in it...Hammond was cleaning up for Broome.
I have a theory on where joker is in this show maybe for season one they will have him as red hood and then set him up to become the joker sometime in season 2
I know you're sick but for when you get better, do you think that Dan Riba will be a part of this? Though this isn't DCAU his name was all over it till the end with Justice League so I see him as part of the crew.
Wait, it's been 10 and 20 years since Beware and JLU... huh, thought they all ended yesterday and last month respectively. 2:21: Granted, critics may then say that The Batman 2004 and The Brave and the Bold did formula-changing first, and are also done better in hindsight. Meantime, I don't think Hamish should try comparing his Batman with Kevin's. No, he has to equal if not surpass Rino Romano and Diedrich Bader instead. I wonder if Caped Crusader really is a "Year One" tale, unlike The Batman 2004's "Year Three" and Arkham Origins' "Year Two". Hmm, perhaps Alfred should be a Boer War veteran too, with perhaps some involvement on Afghanistan and India. 4:48: Sounds like ReBoot, Beast Wars: Transformers, and Transformers Animated. Running narratives mean that even the basic eps have something in store that'll be important in the future. I bet Basil isn't a victim. No, he most likely forcefully sought for the serum and put it unto himself willingly. 6:58: Add electric wheels, and you get a partial Arkham Knight Batmobile. 7:33: I prefer a nice S. Pertaining to the editing, I was thinking more on the XIII and Ultimate Spider-Man games, not Ang Lee's Hulk movie... wonder if that movie is still disliked or now deemed underrated? 7:50: In short, you're better off watching it on DVD or streaming. Live television won't help. Meantime, I'm also awaiting D23 and how it'll show off X-Men '97 Season 2, that new Spidey cartoon (I really hope it's a surprisingly improved show after the duds that are Ultimate and that Marvel's cartoon), and What If...'s endgame.
I dunno, Batman driving his car into the goons at that speed realistically should kill all of them instantly. It feels like a lot of the things they are changing in this show have very shallow justifications. I really don't want this to be the "Velma" version of Scooby-Doo with a Batman reskin. Like, you can break with lore and characterization so much you end up flanderizing and degrading the final product. Obviously August 1st and the actual show will tell us, but change for the sake of change is not confidence inspiring.
Did you hear (or even care? lol) That the creators/writers of the CW Gotham Knights live action show from 2023 wanted to use Kevin as their Batman. They say they pretty much used a look-alike, but it would have been interesting to see Kevin in any flashbacks. I personally like the teen drama series, but perhaps I have lower standards for quality than most. Also, I pretty biased towards this trans male actor who played one of the Knights who went uncover a few times as this hilarious GCPD beat cop. There was a hilarious bit about him being a rookie therefore he needed to bring in coffee and donuts. I know they weren't able to use very specific characters, but I think they did a great job approximating characters like Turner Hayes (Dick Grayson doppelganger/clone/interpolation) and just characters DC clearly didn't care for at the time like Carrie Kelly and Stephanie Brown. That's soul food. Making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what. I really hope to see these characters pop up in other place, even as just easter eggs for now. They're part of the lore now and who knows they might Onomatopoeia there way into the work of a popular writer/staff.
I must admit I dropped out of the CW shows around Arrow Season 5. With The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Black Lightning, there were waaaay too many shows to watch. I know Gotham Knights isn’t the same continuity, but I didn’t check it out by virtue of being on the same network. I saw their Two-Face, and thought he looked pretty good though.
@@SerumLake That actor is good. He had a lot of carry. Hopefully you'll eventually see it. I can't really recommend it. It's more like maybe I'll put it on in the background. The actors really cared for it and I believe that shows despite a few things falling short. I need to see the main CW universe. Seen some of Black Lightning but god there is so much streaming across many platforms.
Since Bruce Timm is involved, I'll bet my left nut The Joker won't be Jack Napier or some variation of the gangster origin. He'll be the Red Hood/loser comedian, again.

One of my favourite Two-Face comics! Matt Wagner is a massively under appreciated Batman artist
I know that Joker is iconic but honestly, i wouldnt mind if he dosent end up being the series because that might mean we would have more stories and charaters we never known or heard of before. I think it would be interesting what they would do for the show and Batman without Joker at all
Agreed. When he isn't around, Bats takes the spotlight. When he is, he steals the show.
joker can come at season 2
One possibility for the individual featured at the 8:17 mark is that it's a flashback to Gentleman Ghost's origin.
I think the matching suit trio are Penguin henchmen, it's not uncommon for purple to be used with the character and from his silhouette it looks to be a more classic super villain Penguin than more modern mob boss version and it would make sense for him to dress up his goons like in Brave and the Bold.

A shame that show never got another season, I liked what they did with a lot of the characters, especially Anarky and Prof. Pyg.
It was a shame. That was actually a pretty good show, but it got the ax.
A sad example of "It Doesn't Have An Ending, So It Sucks" show that I actually liked. Same with The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Apparently Katanna becomes Nightwing and Barbra becomes Robin
If I had to guess, the purple on those guys' suits could mean they're Penguin henchmen. And that could mean that Selina is working with Penguin to help him kill Batman, like their partnership in Batman Returns.
Love this comment, yes! Purple is The Penguin's colour too!
One thing I noticed about Clayface in the trailers is his outfit resembles the Shadow. The Shadow normally wears a black cloak, red scarf, and black hat so that could be a nod to the Shadow.
I’m surprised that Scarecrow isn’t in this series.
But I'm fine with it. Heck, I actually liked it when Hugo Strange used his fearful modus operandi in The Batman 2004.
the two clayfaces theory sounds awesome
That's an interesting theory about Clayface. i had also assumed the same thing as you had initially about the man with rhe fist imprint on his face. Looking forward to watching this series!
The wait is agonising. Wish I could go to the screening at San Diego ComicCon
5:30 Feels too early for multiple Clayfaces. My main theory is that this scene is (face-shifting) Basil Karlo in a mad scientist role on a movie set.
I am looking forward to see what crazy stuff they are up to.

@@SerumLake Bummer. I enjoyed all of those videos. Hopefully at some point soon it will be feasible to do a video essay on Alfred. 🤞🏼
Will still await them. However, I do admit that some people do say that The Batman 2004's Alfred has a slight edge compared to the DCAU one.
I REALLY hope that this show will be good.
It would be an incredible shame if all these interesting new ideas and characterizations get bogged down by boring stories and overly written scripts.
Also, having Harvey’s scarred side be his GOOD side is…actually a really interesting idea!
Agreed. The last thing we need will be another inevitably cancelled title not unlike Beware the Batman.
i hope riddler, scarecrow, mr, freeze, poison ivy and Solomon grundy shows up in season 2 or 3.
Not the guy from 1993's
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Would love to see the Alfred with a shotgun trope.
Purple porkpie hats? Gotta be THE BALLAS from San Andreas!
I love to see more old villains that have not been use Batman:TAS.
Worth mentioning that theWonder Woman show from the 70s - the one with LindaCarter - used many comic book techniques, like caption boxes and framing of scenes like comics. I hope BCC will use thosetechniques, but they are not new.

I’m personally enjoying his design, but I agree that Batman needs a moral compass like Alfred to keep him in line.
I hope this is a faithful adaptation to the golden age of Batman comics, unlike My Adventures With Superman which deviated too much from the Man of Steel mythos by being more like Neon Genesis Evangelion where our hero has been framed and discriminated by a group of hypocritical and delusional government agents.

I think this show will be a great new start for Batman.
One Batman villain to see anarchy
Funny thing is, given the time period (Early 20th Century inspiration) that would actually fit! Anarchism was a real hot-button issue in America during that age. I believe old President McKinley was even assassinated by an anarchist. It would be interesting to see the character placed in the context of that age.
YES. Also I’m will get to bet more than 1 season which means we can have more villains like riddler, the ventriloquist, proffer pyg, BANE? I can’t wait!

Did you hear (or even care? lol) That the creators/writers of the CW Gotham Knights live action show from 2023 wanted to use Kevin as their Batman. They say they pretty much used a look-alike, but it would have been interesting to see Kevin in any flashbacks.
I personally like the teen drama series, but perhaps I have lower standards for quality than most. Also, I pretty biased towards this trans male actor who played one of the Knights who went uncover a few times as this hilarious GCPD beat cop. There was a hilarious bit about him being a rookie therefore he needed to bring in coffee and donuts.
I know they weren't able to use very specific characters, but I think they did a great job approximating characters like Turner Hayes (Dick Grayson doppelganger/clone/interpolation) and just characters DC clearly didn't care for at the time like Carrie Kelly and Stephanie Brown. That's soul food. Making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what.
I really hope to see these characters pop up in other place, even as just easter eggs for now. They're part of the lore now and who knows they might Onomatopoeia there way into the work of a popular writer/staff.
I must admit I dropped out of the CW shows around Arrow Season 5. With The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Black Lightning, there were waaaay too many shows to watch. I know Gotham Knights isn’t the same continuity, but I didn’t check it out by virtue of being on the same network. I saw their Two-Face, and thought he looked pretty good though.
@@SerumLake That actor is good. He had a lot of carry. Hopefully you'll eventually see it. I can't really recommend it. It's more like maybe I'll put it on in the background. The actors really cared for it and I believe that shows despite a few things falling short.
I need to see the main CW universe. Seen some of Black Lightning but god there is so much streaming across many platforms.
Two versions of penguin. One is male and other is female
Harvey Dent, can we trust him?
I've always liked Christina Ricci. But her voice as Catwoman doesn't hit for me.
Since Bruce Timm is involved, I'll bet my left nut The Joker won't be Jack Napier or some variation of the gangster origin. He'll be the Red Hood/loser comedian, again.
This show is definitely a product of its time
Every iteration of Batman is.

To bad really, they would've made more money if it were connected to the dcau
Money doesn't really matter, and would you really want this anachronistic show to be set in the DCAU?
The best DC Batman was the Detective series, all the ones today are all fakes.
Shits all over canon.
This show looks terable
