For over 30 years, Batman: The Animated Series has been considered the gold standard for cartoon adaptations of The Dark Knight Detective. This is largely thanks to its more in-depth look at both Batman and his classic allies and enemies, the creation of popular original characters and the use of darker themes throughout the series’ run. Unfortunately, since the series ran on network television (two seasons on Fox and one season as The New Batman Adventures on The WB) and was considered a children’s show, many restrictions watered down some of the darker, more violent stories the creators wanted to tell.After a new animated series, Batman: Caped Crusader, was announced in 2021, it was made clear that the series would take on a darker, noir tone. Executive producer and writer Ed Brubaker announced that Batman: Caped Crusader will feature more violence than the beloved Batman: The Animated Series from the 1990s. With a more mature sensibility that Brubaker predicts may shock some fans, Caped Crusader presents an opportunity to improve on at least 10 Animated Series stories.Since Batman: The Animated Series aired on network television as part of a block of children’s cartoons, much of the violence had to be toned down for the kids. Therefore, Batman’s enemies often commit robberies and other less violent crimes instead of committing murder. As a streaming series, Caped Crusader is bound to have fewer restrictions. While the acts of aggression will remain PG, according to Ed Brubaker, acknowledging that the Ninja has actually killed people with his katana — regardless of whether actual blood will be shown — would add to the menace he represents. It would also raise the stakes for Batman to take Kyodai down beyond some petty rivalry from his past.
