Batman is returning to Gotham for another adventure. After nearly two years, Batman: Caped Crusader is back with a new season that brings more crime, mystery and famous DC villains. Set in a 1940s-inspired Gotham City, the animated series follows Bruce Wayne as he continues his fight against crime while facing new threats across the city.
Batman: Caped Crusader Season 1: Recap
The first season followed a relatively inexperienced Batman as he began taking on Gotham's growing crime wave. The story revolved around a gang war between crime boss Rupert Thorne and the Penguin, while Commissioner Jim Gordon and his daughter Barbara tried to clean up the city's corrupt system.
The season also introduced new versions of Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Two-Face. In the finale, Harvey Dent sacrificed himself to save Barbara Gordon. Batman chose not to take revenge, staying true to his principles. The ending also teased the arrival of a dangerous new killer who used a laughing toxin, hinting at the Joker's entry into the story.
