Batman: Caped Crusader is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics character Batman. The series is developed by Bruce Timm, and produced by J. J. Abrams's Bad Robot Productions, Matt Reeves, 6th & Idaho Motion Picture Company, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation, and Amazon MGM Studios. Originally announced in May 2021 for Cartoon Network and HBO Max, the series premiered on August 1, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video. A period piece set in the 1940s, Caped Crusader is a film noir-inspired reimagining of the Batman mythos, focusing on a young Bruce Wayne during the early stages of his crime-fighting career in Gotham City, drawing inspiration from Batman stories of the 1940s and 1960s.

Caped Crusader is often seen as a spiritual successor to Timm's Batman: The Animated Series. Unlike previous Batman-centered programming, Caped Crusader explores themes of corruption and crime in a stylized, period setting and has been noted for its serialized storytelling and deep psychological exploration of its characters. Critics have praised its mature tone and complex portrayal of the superhero, setting it apart from previous adaptations. A second season was announced in March 2023 and is set to release in 2026.
