Batman: Caped Crusader tv seriesanimation

"[It] is willing to let its main character recede into the shadows so that it can provide a more fully fleshed-out sense of Gotham and the people who live there (...) this show’s Batman still feels complex, swaying between a compassionate desire for justice and an obsessive need for revenge (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"This throwback to the hero's gritty early days is a blast" 

"[It] entertains though rarely soars (...) It’s too gloomy to feel approachable, but too mild to tap into the character’s full potential for oddness and ugliness" 

"[It] resurrects the look and feel of 'Batman: The Animated' Series, albeit at a smaller scale and with its own distinctive takes on familiar characters. You’ll find fewer operatic origin stories for supervillains here, but in their place are some captivating whodunits and the occasional visitor from worlds beyond" 

"The scariest, best, and most mature Batman in years" 

"The series struggles to establish its own identity despite new takes on characters, delving deeper into Batman's psyche but falling slightly short of offering something interesting" 

"[It] is pretty good superhero animation that happens to follow an all-ages masterwork of the form"
