Batman: Caped Crusader

Batman: Caped Crusader makes good use of the period setting, and the Year One dialing back, though it leans much more into Batman being cold and aloof, something the Animated Series version just pretended, which results in my not really liking him.

The definite highlight for me was the final two-parter. Less sold on Harley Quinn as Hugo Strange or the “yeah, not interested” take on Catwoman.

Lots of nice little details like the makeup effects artist in the fun Clayface episode being based on Universal monster makeup head Jack Pierce.
