Amazon Prime Video’s Batman: Caped Crusader is one of many highly anticipated DC Comics adaptations, due to its highly regarded creative team and unique spin on the Batman mythos. Taking place in a 1940s and Golden Age inspired Gotham, the series promises a new look at the early career of not just Batman, but his gallery of rogues as well.
Despite its older aesthetic, Caped Crusader appears open to pulling from more recent comics featuring the Dark Knight. Its influences in terms of story don’t look limited to the earliest Batman tales—from police thrillers like “Half a Life” to The Bat-Man: First Knight revisiting the Golden Age, there are many books from DC’s modern era that can, and probably have, inspired Caped Crusader.
One Bad Day unpacked Karlo’s superiority complex, contempt for the filmmaking industry, and insecurities rather than falling back on the crutch of making him a mindless mud monster. Considering the fact Caped Crusader’s take on Clayface doesn’t seem to be as powerful as previous incarnations, the show wisely looks like it might be taking similar cues as the comic. The story was also a glorious mismatch of genres and tropes—rags to riches, slasher, thriller, and eventually tragedy—packed into one issue. If Caped Crusader can tap into what made this comic so special, the show could potentially have a new definitive Clayface take.
