Batman: Caped Crusader: Here’s Who Is Voicing Allies Like Gordon and Alfred

On the heels of our trailer debut and cover story for Batman: Caped Crusader, IGN can also exclusively reveal the voice actors portraying Batman’s closest allies in the new Prime Video animated series.

The voice cast includes Hamish Linklater as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Christina Ricci as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel, and Diedrich Bader as Two-Face/Harvey Dent. 

Joining the cast as Batman’s closest allies are Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth, Eric Morgan Stuart as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon, Michelle C. Bonilla as Renee Montoya, and Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox.

The roles played by previously announced cast members Minnie Driver, McKenna Grace, John DiMaggio, Paul Scheer, Reid Scott, Tom Kenny, Gary Anthony Williams, Dan Donohue, David Krumholtz, Haley Joel Osment, and Toby Stephens have not yet been disclosed.

In this retro, noir-infused reimagining, Batman is a vigilante in the early days of his crime-fighting career whose one-man crusade earns him both allies and adversaries within the Gotham City Police Department and City Hall. 

As executive producer James Tucker told us for our cover story, “(Caped Crusader) feels more like an ensemble piece because we're as invested in some of the other characters now as we are in Batman because they're the humans in the story now. He's kind of removed, and so everyone else gets a lot more shine - Alfred, the Gordons, Montoya. All the secondary characters step up in importance in the story.”

Here are the official Batman: Caped Crusader character descriptions (save for Lucius Fox, which was unavailable at time of publish):

• ALFRED PENNYWORTH
• Bruce Wayne’s loyal and invaluable aide. The one person who has a window into the man behind the mask.
• BARBARA GORDON
• Raised with a strong sense of justice and right and wrong by her police commissioner father, Barbara grew disillusioned with the corruption in the police force and went into Law instead. She’s currently an over-worked, under-paid Public Defender.
• COMMISSIONER JIM GORDON
• Former beat cop close to retirement, Gordon was hired to play along with the corrupt system and run out the clock till he can draw a pension. But they’ve sorely underestimated Jim Gordon. His unassailable character brings him into conflict with dirty cops and crooked politicians, alike. Not to mention he has to reckon with a deranged vigilante beating up Gotham’s criminals.
• DETECTIVE RENEE MONTOYA
• Detective Renee Montoya grew up in Gotham City and believes it’s her obligation to change her city for the better. She looks up to Commissioner Gordon as a mentor and he views her as a rare and trustworthy ally in the corrupt department. Though at first, she doesn’t trust the masked vigilante, Montoya gradually becomes a member of Batman’s inner-circle of semi-reluctant allies.

Batman: Caped Crusader will also feature fresh new takes on such infamous DC Comics rogues as Clayface, Penguin, Firebug and more. “You might think that we're changing something just to change it,” executive producer Bruce Timm told IGN. “But it was never about that; it was more about where will it lead us? Will it lead us to do something new?”

In addition to Bruce Timm and James Tucker, the series’ executive producers also include J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Ed Brubaker, Daniel Pipski, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register. 

Hailing from Warner Bros. Animation, Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Reeves’ 6th & Idaho, all ten episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader’s first season will premiere on Prime Video on August 1.
