Batman: Caped Crusader
Summary
WhileBatman : Caped Crusaderhas been labeled a spiritual successor toBatman : The Animated Series , the show has strayed from some of the biggest rules ofTAS . In 1992,Batman : TASset the new criterion for an altered version of Batman . Up to that point , there had been the Adam West show of the sixties with colorful preferences and characters , and Tim Burton’sBatmanstarring Michael Keaton , but the tone of the on - screen version and the comics had a wide of the mark gap .
Batman : TAStook the fictitious character back to their ascendant with a setting that was dark and grubby , and a fib that was n’t afraid of arrest dark with brutal villains . However , certain restrictions still applied to the stories that strike place in the show , with the censoring the series face being notorious years later . Now , Batman : crest Crusaderseeks to do something interchangeable , but in episode 1 , theshow is proving to be very dissimilar .
Batman: Caped Crusader Episode 1 Breaks The Animated Series' Gun Rule Several Times
The Animated Series' Censorship Doesn’t Apply To Caped Crusader
Batman : The Animated Serieshad a selection of rules and regulations that the show had to keep up throughout its run , with thing like alcoholic drink and drugs being focal features of toon censor requirements . However , the show also notably had a rule making showing the use of handguns taboo , explaining the plebeian use of dissimilar weaponry and some very creative plan of attack to sure minute and figures - and meaning that core plot expression like the demise of Bruce Wayne ’s parent instead had to be read in nonfigurative ways .
This is perhaps best summed up by Mark Hamill’sXpost that shows an illustration by Bruce Timm detail " all the censor ’s no - no ’s " when it issue forth to the series . Batman : The Animated Seriesco - creator Eric Radomski revealed in a 2018 consultation withScreenGeekthat the shooting iron security review even prevented a script from being made reality , as " it was a very striking and tasteful sort of account , but they just could n’t discover justification for arrange a gun as the focus of a storey in a small fry ’s animated cartoon … the gun crossed the line " .
Batman : Caped Crusader , however , does n’t have to espouse the same rule , and this is prove in several different room . Perhaps the most salient is thatthe first installment ofCaped Crusaderfeatures handguns prominently throughout its story , with Gotham ’s crooks casually handling the weapons that were once something of a no - go forThe Animated Seriesas a focal storey element from sequence 1 onward .
As such , the first instalment ’s view of a handgun being direct aimed at Batman ’s head - or Barbara Gordon wielding one , perhaps more importantly - seem like they would have been almost impossible for the prior release . This is a will to the colored tone ofCaped Crusader , but also to the way in which attitudes towards animated dismissal also have changed , as more adult animate series likeBoJack HorsemanandRick and Mortyhave forwarded the concept that cartoons can be for older interview .

There Are Many More Changes In Caped Crusader
Batman : Caped Crusaderis mold a path that is independent ofTAS , and that ’s easy to recognize in the bit of change the show makes . Despite a similar animation style , similar non - descript era , and the wide variety of villain for Batman to face off against , the show has exculpated dispute throughout . Not only does the show clearly make an effort to target a more fledged audience , considering theshow now sport characters toast alcohol and book of facts to drug , but it also changes how Batman and other desperate figures move in Gotham .
TASmade a big effort to put the focus unwaveringly on Batman . He was cardinal to any story , and the episodes played out in a way that largely focused on his perspective and risky venture . While he had some help from Alfred , or others , Batman prefers to form alone . And in Gotham , most of the other characters who could or would be heroes are prepared to step aside and allow him get to work . InBatman : Caped Crusader , much more focus is paid to the other characters , like Barbara Gordon , aka Batgirl , or Renee Montoya , who also investigate crime and adjudicate to pick up Gotham .
