    This Batman is clearly not yet the finished article, and sometimes the storytelling is a little rough around the edges, too. But with a second season already commissioned, there is certainly scope for Bruce Wayne to work on himself.

    By the end of the season, they’ve assembled into a loose team, and the prospect of another outing with them feels more intriguing than not. But the stakes still feel lower than they ought, largely because the good guys still come across like sketches on a page rather than fully realized individuals with idiosyncrasies, vulnerabilities and desires of their own.

    Overall, Batman: Caped Crusader is a stylish but surprisingly simple series, feeling all too familiar in how it plays out. However, this will undoubtedly tick all the boxes for B:TAS fans, and will tide other Bat fans over until HBO’s The Penguin series this September.

    “Batman: Caped Crusader” has some serialized elements but its 10 episodes are mostly one-and-done crime capers. Of these, only one really digs into Bruce Wayne and his trauma. .... One could be forgiven for thinking Batman feels at times like an afterthought in his own show, but that’s as much a comment on the richness of the world he exists within as anything else.
