See the character descriptions below.
Batman: A cold, ruthless avenger of evil, seemingly more machine than man. Forged in the fires of tragedy, every fiber of his being is dedicated to the eradication of crime.
Bruce Wayne: To the general public, Bruce Wayne is a superficial dilettante who seems to squander his parents' vast fortune on frivolous pursuits and hedonistic pleasures. In fact, he is an elaborate facade, carefully constructed to distract from his activities as Batman.
Selina Kyle/Catwoman: Selena Kyle is a spoiled heiress whose family lost a fortune after her father went to prison for embezzlement. Despite having the silver spoon ripped from her mouth, Selina refuses to stop living in luxury and turns to Catwoman as a "fun" way to maintain her lavish lifestyle.
Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn - Despite her engaging and bubbly attitude, Dr. Harleen Quinzel a brilliant psychiatrist who treats some of Gotham's elite. As Harley Quinn, however, she is a completely different person. A creepy, silent, calculating menace who secretly metes out her twisted justice on the truly despicable among her elite clients.
Harvey Dent/Two-Face: D.A. Talented, handsome and charismatic, Harvey Dent is also ruthlessly ambitious, arrogant, short-tempered and dangerous to encounter. After a vengeful criminal disfigures half his face with acid, the two sides of his character are separated... and exaggerated. The half of his face with the scars represents his compassion, sadness and decency, while the handsome half now represents his anger and sense of entitlement.
Batman: Caped Crusader premieres on Prime Video on Thursday, August 1.
