It was shocking enough when it was announced that the upcoming “Batgirl” movie had been shelved, with many fearing this was a sign that not even the most popular Warner Bros. intellectual property was safe. Given today’s announcements, it seems this fear is tragically based in reality. “Batman: Caped Crusader” would have been the spiritual successor to arguably the greatest adaptation of the “Batman” comics in history, and would have united the series’ creator Bruce Timm with the director of the newest extremely successful live-action Bat-film , Matt Reeves.
