iHeartRadioBatman: Caped Crusader producers reveal more details about the series
In a presentation at DC FanDome, producers Bruce Timm, JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, and James Tucker explained their vision for the upcoming show, Batman: Caped Crusader. Timm, who co-created Batman: The Animated Series, highlighted that “It’s more Batman: The Animated Series than Batman: The Animated Series.”
Timm went on to clarify that the show will capture what he was originally aiming for with the classic series, saying, “It kind of goes back to the original principles of the show that we originally came up with in the early 90s. There were certain limitations on what we could do in terms of adult content, violence, and adult themes.”
Reeves added in that this version of Batman is currently alone when we meet him. There’s no Justice League. There aren’t any other superheroes. You’re watching this lone figure swimming through the cesspool of Gotham. It’s Batman, alone.
They also suggested that while it’s taking a lot from Batman: The Animated Series, this is still a new story with its own interpretations of characters and their relationships. The Joker and Penguin from The Animated Series won’t necessarily be the same versions of those characters that we see in Caped Crusader. Gordon isn’t Batman’s ally yet and there’s nothing assumed that he will or won’t be.
Timm mentioned that the look of the show will be similar to what he created in his own Batman: Strange Days short, which was heavily noir-influenced, but Caped Crusader won’t share the same black and white appearance as the short.

The Flash gets a new costume for Season 8
Throughout the first seven seasons of The Flash, Barry Allen’s costume has constantly evolved. Season 8 will continue this trend, as The Flash will get another brand-new costume for the upcoming return of the series.
During DC FanDome, producers of The Flash debuted a new picture of Grant Gustin in costume. Among the changes are a newly designed center crest and the wings on his mask. The biggest addition however, are the Flash’s golden boots, which had been left out until now. Gustin added that the golden boots were the final element that’s been missing, bringing this suit closer to the comic design than any previous iteration.
