Exploring the confirmed cast and characters for Batman: Caped Crusader
1) Hamish Linklater as Batman
Hamish Linklater will step into the shoes of the Dark Knight for Batman: Caped Crusader. The actor will be following in the footsteps of previous voice actors like Kevin Conroy, Jensen Ackles, Roger Craig Smith, and more. The actor is also best known for starring as Father Paul in Mike Flanagan's hit horror show Mightnight Mass, where he received acclaim for his performance.
A sneak peek of his Batman voice was teased in the trailer released by Prime Video where Linklater was announcing the cast members while in character.
2) Christina Ricci as Catwoman
Wednesday Addams from The Adams Family herself, Christina Ricci will be joining Batman: Caped Crusader to voice the role of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. Ricci is also best known for starring in other TV shows like Yellowjackets and also appeared in the Jenna Ortega show Wednesday on Netflix.
In the comics, Selina Kyle is an anti-hero who is a love interest of Bruce Wayne. She is a cat burglar through and through, and at times, has even fought Batman.
3) Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn
Actress Jamie Chung will be voicing Harley Quinn in Batman: Caped Crusader. Fans might remember her from Dragonball Evolution where she starred as Chi Chi, and most recently also appeared in Dexter: New Blood.
While Harley Quinn is usually associated with The Joker, the show will be changing her origins to deliver a more intense version of the character.

After previously tackling Batman in Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Bader will be jumping next into the shoes of one of his greatest villains — Harvey Dent/Two-Face.
