My thoughts on Batman Caped Crusader

Ok finished all 10 episodes of Batman Caped Crusader. Good cartoon but its not without flaws. Visually speaking its a great successor to Batman the Animated Series. The supporting cast is fantastic. I love this version of Harley. Way more sinister compared to her other counterparts.

The setting specifically setting it in the 1930s really helps it stand out from other Batman media. I really did not like how flat Hamish Linkletters Batman was. His Batman voice didnt really have any personality to it. Bruce is really cold towards Alfred in this. Its kinda off putting honestly.

Like it gets better towards the end but initially its very jarring to see. I do wish we got to spend more time with Bruce/Batman. The show is really trying hard to focus on multiple characters that you dont really get to know them that well. For example Harvey Dent is set up in the first episode and we know where his fate ends up, but its just that we dont get a lot of time seeing that build up so when it happens and what happens at episode 10 its like whatever.

Not to end on a bad note for this but I did enjoy episode 7 for the fun references IYKYK.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Rupert Thorne

A powerful and ruthless crime boss, Rupert Thorne muscled his way into the Gotham City and swiftly took control over a large section of the criminal underworld.  Edging out former kingpins, Arnold Stromwell and Salvatore Valestra, Thorne’s enterprises ranged from narcotics to racketeering, money laundering, gambling and weapons smuggling.  Although his criminal endeavors were well known to the public, the corruption within Gotham's justice system kept Thorne in his penthouse and the authorities off his back.

District Attorney Harvey Dent was determined to put an end to Thorne’s grip on the city.  Dent’s dogged pursuit of Thorne became even more relentless as he was campaigning for reelection as District Attorney.  Dent was getting close and Thorne became desperate to put a stop to it.  

Thorne attempted to blackmail Dent after his agent had pilfered the medical notes from Dent’s psychiatrist.  Dent was contending with rather severe psychological difficulties and Thorne threatened to expose this to the public unless Dent agreed to drop all investigations into his enterprises.  Dent refused and a scuffle broke out wherein Dent was caught in an explosion that terribly scared half of his face.  All this resulted in the creation of the villainous Two-Face.  And Two-Face would prove an even greater threat to Rupert Thorne than Dent had ever been.   

A new breed of criminal was encroaching on Thorne’s territory.  Villains like Two-Face, The Penguin and The Joker were substantially cutting into his profit margins and The Batman was a near constant threat to his whole organization.  Determined to wrestle back control, Thorne hired the mercenary known as Bane to break the Bat and ostensively reseat Thorne atop the criminal empire.  

The plot failed, Batman triumphed over Bane and Thorne’s hold on power became even more tenuous.  In desperate need of cash, Thorne agreed to pool resources with The Penguin and the mob enforcer Carlton Duquesne in a venture to sell high tech weapons to the war-torn nation of Kasnia.  

The operation was taken down by Batman along with the mysterious new heroine, Batwoman.  Duquesne was convinced to testify against Thorne and the once untouchable gangster was sentenced to life in prison at Stonegate Penitentiary.   

The wonderfully intimidating John Vernon provided the voice for Rupert Thorne, with mobster first appeared in the sixth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘It’s Never Too Late.’

Imma be honest not a single version of Poison Ivy's backstory has managed to make her getting seduced and manipulated by Jason Woodrue not seem completely stupid and out of character. She's already supposed to have been a jaded, misanthropic sociopath and a child abuse survivor before she even met him. And Woodrue's not exactly some masterful charismatic manipulator, he's a cackling nutjob with delusions of grandeur. If anything he seems like exactly the kind of moron who ends up getting manipulated by her. I guess the point is supposed to be that this kind of thing can happen to anyone but that still doesn't give writers carte blanche to not bother making it remotely believable. This is why my favorite version of Poison Ivy's origin story was Poison Ivy: Thorns where they just cut Woodrue out and have it be her dad who experimented on Pam as a child and gave her her powers. Partially because having two character defining abusive asshole male authority figures who instilled in her a mistrust/hatred for humanity is kinda redundant, and secondly because she's a kid and it's her dad and she had yet to become the sociopath we know and love so it makes total sense for her to fall for the gaslighting and manipulating, and to stay no matter how bad the abuse got.
