Will there be a Batman: Caped Crusader season 2?
The Dark Knight's work is far from over...
Batman fans have a treat to tide them over until the DC icon's next big-screen outing, with animated series Caped Crusader putting a fresh spin on the character's rich mythos.
The series is a collaboration between sci-fi producer JJ Abrams, The Batman director Matt Reeves, Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm and legendary comic book writer Ed Brubaker.
It's an impressive line-up of behind-the-camera talent, with reviews for season 1 deeming this one of the better adaptations of the source material – and some fans are already calling for more.
Read on for everything we know so far about the future of Batman: Caped Crusader, including the latest news on season 2 and release date speculation.
Will there be a Batman: Caped Crusader season 2?

Back in March 2023, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the animated series had been picked up by Amazon's streaming service with a double-season order, demonstrating a considerable amount of faith in the project.
Perhaps that's not surprising, as Prime Video has carved out quite a niche with darker superhero fare including The Boys, its animated spin-off Diabolical and Robert Kirkman's brutal Invincible.
Usually, DC Comics content lands on Max or HBO, as they are both Warner Bros companies – the media giant that also owns the publisher – but Caped Crusader was dropped prior to completion amid James Gunn and Peter Safran's creative reshuffle.
When could Batman: Caped Crusader season 2 be released?
That's a tougher question! Stylised animated fare has proven difficult to produce at speed, with Marvel's What If...? and the aforementioned Invincible both facing long gaps between seasons.
For that reason, we'd advise fans to brace for a wait, but there's a chance that Prime Video's two-season order could have allowed the creators to get ahead on developing the next batch.
With that in mind, it's possible that Batman: Caped Crusader season 2 could arrive in late 2025/early 2026 – allowing approximately 18 months for production – but that's merely speculation for the time being.
