Batman: Caped Crusader

Though she refused to reveal what character she’s voicing, Minnie Driver described Batman: Caped Crusader as “rad” in a new interview with Comic Book.

They will literally — some kind of alarm will go off, and I’ll be taken off in the back of a van if I told you anything about who I’m playing. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so rad. The whole show, it’s rad — it’s great.

Meanwhile, Bruce Timm told Empire the series’ takes place “so early” in Batman’s career it’s more “week two” than Year One.

Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not Year One. It’s more like ‘Week Two’.

Later in the same interview, Timm detailed Hamish Linklater’s “spooky” take on Bruce Wayne.

I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?’ He weaponises Alfred. He’s not Batman’s surrogate father anymore. He’s a guy that’s going to enable him to fight crime. That’s how focused [Bruce] is. It’s a weird take on him. But it’s something I don’t think we’ve seen before.
