Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 Premieres July 31

The second season of the animated series "Batman: Caped Crusader" will premiere on Prime Video on July 31, 2026, with all ten episodes releasing simultaneously. The season will introduce several iconic villains, including the Joker, the Riddler, Scarecrow, and a gender-swapped version of the Mad Hatter, while continuing the show's noir-inspired exploration of Gotham City.

New images released ahead of the premiere confirm the debut of these characters. The Joker's appearance is partially obscured, suggesting a distinct interpretation of the character. Coshowrunner James Tucker previously indicated that this version would differ from portrayals by actors like Mark Hamill or Jack Nicholson but would be recognizable to longtime comic readers. The Riddler appears in a green suit and black hat, and Scarecrow will also feature. The Mad Hatter, reimagined as a woman named Hattie, is depicted as the host of a talk show called "Hattie's Tea Party." This follows the series' established approach of reimagining classic characters, as seen in the first season with a female version of the Penguin voiced by Minnie Driver. The villain Roxy Rocket will also appear.
