HBO is developing a V for Vendetta TV series with writer Pete Jackson attached and James Gunn and Peter Safran executive producing for DC Studios.

  • HBO is developing V for Vendetta with Pete Jackson writing and DC Studios leadership producing.

  • Expect character driven storytelling with a focus on personal stakes inside a political thriller frame.

  • The series has strong runway at HBO, which has a history of turning comic properties into prestige TV.

  • The 2005 film set a high bar for mood and iconography, so casting for V and Evey will be pivotal.

  • Early cues to watch include period setting, one season retelling versus ongoing world build, and how closely it tracks the graphic novel’s themes.

  • “The mask is iconic, but the power of V for Vendetta is the way it asks who gets to define freedom.”

  • “If this show keeps the human story front and center, the politics will land without feeling like a lecture.”

  • “Casting V and Evey decides the show’s heartbeat before a single set piece is shot.”

Batman: Caped Crusader Announces Hamish Linklater as the New Voice of Batman

Batman: Caped Crusader Announces Hamish Linklater as the New Voice of Batman

Prime Video has just unveiled that Hamish Linklater will be the new voice of Batman in the highly anticipated animated series, "Batman: Caped Crusader." Fans got their first taste of his portrayal in a new clip released today, showcasing his take on the iconic Dark Knight. This new series is a continuation of the beloved Bruce Timm and Paul Dini animated series, which set the standard for Batman animations. With the passing of Kevin Conroy, who had become the definitive voice of Batman since "Batman: The Animated Series," there was a significant void to fill. Hamish Linklater steps into this role with a deep understanding of the legacy and expectations that come with it. Series creators J.J. Abrams, Bruce Timm, and Matt Reeves are thrilled to return to Gotham City. "We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City," Timm, Abrams, and Reeves stated. "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." Prime Video is equally enthusiastic about hosting this revival series. Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, emphasized the impact of the original series: "Batman: The Animated Series helped pioneer the evolution of superhero storytelling and defined the Dark Knight for a generation. Batman: Caped Crusader will no doubt continue that tradition and, alongside Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, we're thrilled to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation to offer a variety of takes on the Batman mythos to our global Prime Video customers." Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, echoed this excitement: "We are excited to partner with Amazon to begin an all-new animated chapter of Batman. From the cinematic noir storytelling of Batman: Caped Crusader to the comedic adventures of Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, these new projects ensure that there will be an animated Batman story ready to excite fans of all ages." Stay tuned for more updates on "Batman: Caped Crusader" as it gears up to bring a fresh yet familiar take on the Dark Knight to screens everywhere.
