The upcoming Batman: Caped Crusader cartoon has a lot of creativity behind it. Bruce Timm, one of the foundations of the legendary DC Animated Universe, is showrunning the new series that plans on bringing the hero back to the noir genre that helped define the Dark Knight's seminal 90s series. Ed Brubaker, the writer of Criminal and Kill or Be Killed and co- creator of Winter Soldier, has joined the team.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brubaker is the head writer for Batman. He will run the writers room for the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, which is said to be more Batman: The Animated Series than Batman: The Animated Series. In a statement to Hollywood Reporter, Brubaker talked about how the Animated Series was the catalyst for his career, and he was excited to work on its successor.
If it weren't for Bruce Timm and all the talented writers and artists who did with that show, things like my remake of Catwoman with Darwyn Cooke and Greg Rucka would not have happened. It is not what anyone is expecting, but in a good way.
After taking over writing duties for the main Batman book, Brubaker became a consistent writer of the character for the 2000s. He wrote several books about the character and his supporting cast, including the 2002 Catwoman run with Darwyn Cooke. He has written episodes for Westworld and Too Old to Die Young. It will be interesting to see what Timm, Brubaker, and the rest of the creative forces come up with for the audience.
Batman: Caped Crusader will premiere on the Cartoon Network.
