The Hollywood Reporter:

J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves are re-teaming for a new Batman animated series.

The powerhouse directors, along with DC animated universe veteran Bruce Timm, have received a straight-to-series order for Batman: Caped Crusader from HBO Max and Cartoon Network. The series is billed as a “reimagining of the Batman mythology."

“We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City," said Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Reeves (The Batman) in a statement. “The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman’s noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world."

The first key-art is at the top of the post, and definitely has a Detective Comics #27 vibe.

Interesting to me that Matt Reeves is going to be so tied to the Batman universe for the next few years.

My hope is that this is closer to Batman: The Animated Series than the Timm-directed DC Animated movies from the past decade or so. They’ve been a serious mixed bag, so I’m definitely hedging my excitement here.
