I watched the first episode of The Caped Crusader. The latest Batman animated show from Bruce Timm: the guy behind the original Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League.

Only one episode so far, so who knows how it'll turn out, but that was a fantastic opener. It's got a very noir tone and is exactly what I want to see from a Batman show. Kinda dark, but not in the moody "gritty realism" that made the DC live action movies so terrible.

It's got that classic low-level Batman beginning where he's going against mobsters and corrupt politicians & police, and people are doubting if he's even real. The big bad of this episode is a gender swapped Penguin, with guest appearances from a very corrupt Harvey Bullock and a pre–Two Face Harvey Dent.

It's not in the DCAU, but it has the same stylish moody tone as some of the best episodes of BTAS like Heart of Ice.
