No superhero draws as much fanfare and attention as The Caped Crusader. While the live-action adaptations of the DC character are wildly popular, some of the most inspired Batman work has come from animation. Bruce Timm, the creator of the beloved Batman: The Animated Series, is returning with another fresh take on the iconic character in Batman: Caped Crusader, which premieres on Prime Video on August 1. Helming the steely voice of Batman is Hamish Linklater, with villain roles carried out by Jamie Chung and Minnie Driver, playing Harley Quinn and The Penguin, respectively.
At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Linklater, Chung, and Driver stopped by the Collider media studio to chat with Steven Weintraub about what fresh takes they're giving these iconic characters, transitioning from voice acting, and honoring the fans and legacy of the Batman character.
