From that title you might surmise that Wonder Woman has hauled Bruce's butt out of some proverbial fire but in this instance the Amazon we're referring to is the streamer.

Last year HBO cancelled in development animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, and Amazon have snapped it up with a two season order.

It has an impressive pedigree - Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series), Matt Reeves (The Batman) and J. J. Abrams (Star Trek) - and seeks to recapture the spark of Timm's popular 1990's series.

We rather enjoyed that one.

With Reeves' involvement we might also guess that it occupies the same universe as his films and the live action spinoff series, which is one of the few to escape DC's consolidation to focus on a single continuity.

There's no ETA on this series but having been announced in May 2021, presumably it had been in development for at least the one year until it was cancelled, and possibly longer.

The other big superhero franchise Marvel are also looking to the animated past, though instead of making some new series in the spirit of a previous one, will continue their 1990's series in X-Men '97 releasing this year on Disney+.
