Summary Recently released by Amazon, Batman: Caped Crusader is a verified hit, dropping Batman into a 1940s Noir setting with grim themes and an ensemble cast of Gothamites, each committed to justice in a different way. However, with only 10 episodes currently in existence, many fans are craving more of this compelling take on Gotham's protector - and comics are the answer.
Batman: Haunted Knight/Batman: The Long Halloween/Batman: Dark Victory Batman and Gordon Unite in a Noir-Ish World Where Mobsters Rule Long Halloween is one of Batman's most celebrated comics, appearing on pretty much any 'best of Batman' list, so we've included its pseudo-prequel Haunted Knight and sequel Dark Victory, all by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.
Batman: Year One This Iconic Tale Is Batman & Gordon's Origin Story as Partners Batman: Year One is another entry that appears on every 'best of Batman' list, but if you haven't read it yet, it really is the perfect follow-up to Caped Crusader.
Gotham by Gaslight/The Doom That Came to Gotham These Batman Stories Go Even Further Back Than the 1940s Gotham by Gaslight goes back even further than the 1940s, imagining a version of Batman who is operating around the 1880s, facing off against Jack the Ripper.
B-listers like Mister Freeze and Clayface are actually scarier in Nine Lives than when they had powers, and seeing Batman through someone else's eyes helps to increase his mystique. The cherry on the cake is that Nine Lives also shakes up the power structure of Gotham, making its versions of Joker, Penguin and Mister Freeze feel fresh and - crucial for an actual murder mystery - unpredictable.
Gotham Noir is essentially a classic Noir movie with Batman in the background, similar to Caped Crusader's 'Moving Target' episode, where Gordon is targeted for assassination by Onomatopoeia. That shouldn't be surprising, as the story was written by Ed Brubaker - one of Caped Crusader's executive producers.
Close Evoking the Silver and Gold Age of comics, New Frontier nevertheless has its dark side, with very human superheroes clashing in believable ways. In effect, New Frontier feels like if Caped Crusader suddenly opened up and introduced an entire DC Universe, making it an exciting follow-up to the show.
Not only does Cooke offer up a hat-tip to crime writer Richard Stark by naming one of Catwoman's confederates in his honor, but he later went on to adapt Stark's Parker books to comics .
