What can be expected from the new Batman series?
From the trailer for Batman: Caped Crusader, the audience can make out that Gotham City is terrorized by the doings of the masked man who claims to be Batman. While the police and civilians are after the superhero to catch and punish him, one of the dialogues in the preview goes by calling him an “itch that needs to be scratched.”
According to the logline of the series, “In Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes someone both more and less than human—the Batman.”
