DC’s New Batman Show Is The Closest I’ve Seen Him Coming To Breaking His One Rule Without Actually Doing It

Summary

• Batman: Caped Crusader season 1 pushes Batman to the edge of breaking his no-kill rule.
• The show explores noir roots of Batman, creating a fresh narrative while respecting the source material.
• Batman's struggle with his no-kill rule reinforces why it is crucial to his character.

The first season of DC's newest animated series, Batman: Caped Crusader, sees the titular character come as close to breaking his biggest rule that I have ever seen without actually breaking it. Batman: Caped Crusader is set in Gotham in the 1940s and heavily emphasizes the detective noir aspect of the character. Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) lends a new voice to the character in a series developed by Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm and produced by the likes of Matt Reeves, director behind The Batman.
The team behind Batman: Caped Crusader makes surprising changes to Batman's story, all in the service of creating something fresh that still respects the important aspects of the source material and the adaptations that came before it. At times, it feels like a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series, and the show's depiction of the Caped Crusader so far takes him in interesting directions. By the ending of Batman: Caped Crusader season 1, the series notably sees its hero come close to breaking his no-killing rule, the most significant rule that Batman has.
