After releasing a Batman: Caped Crusader promo video that shined the spotlight on Firebug, Gentleman Ghost, and Nocturna, Prime Video is now shifting focus to Onomatopoeia And Clayface.
Per Discussing Film, we have confirmation that Dan Donohue is voicing Clayface, while Reid Scott voices Onomatopoeia.
In addition to the villain featurette, we also have the first clip from the series, which reveals Hamish Linklater's gravely Batman voice.
From Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, the series premieres all 10 episodes on August 1 on Prime Video.
Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’
Continuing, he added, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?"
Other villains confirmed to appear include Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Two-Face, The Penguin and more.
All ten episodes will be released at once, when the series premieres on August 1.
Back in May 2021, HBO Max and Cartoon Network gave Batman: Caped Crusader a straight-to-series order before ultimately passing on the project in August 2022. Prime Video then picked up the series in October 2023.
