Batman: Caped Crusader Not Happening At HBO MAX

Posted on by

 

As part of a number of cuts HBO MAX has been burning through lately, Batman: Caped Crusader is no longer moving forward at the streamer which has been having a rough go of it in August. The series featured Bruce Timm’s return to Batman and was to be produced by Bad Robot, WB Animation, and 6th & Idaho.

From what I have been told by sources well-placed, the series isn’t moving forward because there are multiple producers on the project making the series not as profitable as other series like say Harley Quinn, and WarnerMedia is quickly shedding itself of any projects with JJ Abrams’ name on it.

The series is expected to be shopped to other networks and streamers, so there’s still hope we see this one.

Update 8/28: Hulu, Netflix, and AppleTV+ are in line attempting to bid for the series.
