Once again, Hamish Linklater (Widow's Bay) voices Bruce Wayne aka Batman, who will meet his arch-enemy The Joker for the first time in this universe in season 2.
Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon) has been tapped to voice the sinister role, joining Jamie Chung as the previously introduced Harley Quinn in Caped Crusader.
Expect secret cast members to be discovered as new episodes drop on Prime Video, as teased by co-creator Geoffrey Thorne (via The Direct) at San Diego Comic-Con 2026.
"We got to bring in characters, that I'm not going to spoil, from either more deep Batman lore or from larger DC places, and we got to do our spin on those things," he said.
"I think that's part of the fun of this show. It really is a new Batman universe, and if you approach it that way, rather than with expectation, you're going to get a lot out of this show."

The Riddler is another confirmed new character for season 2, while a version of fellow Batman rogue Mad Hatter has been teased in first look imagery.

Who is Batman? One of the most popular characters in the DC Universe, Batman is the vigilante persona of billionaire Bruce Wayne, who fights criminals on the streets of Gotham City. In Caped Crusader, we find him in the early days of his superhero career – and perhaps not as wise to the devious tricks of his various foes.
What else has Hamish Linklater been in? The actor's most notable credits include US sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine as well as Noah Hawley dramas Legion and Fargo. He is also known for Midnight Mass, Widow's Bay and The Big Short.
Matthew Needham as The Joker

Who is Joker? Batman's arch-nemesis, The Joker is usually depicted as insane man, dressed in clown-like attire with a sick and twisted sense of humour.
However, Caped Crusader season 2 is interpreting the character in a rather different way, devoid of his sadistic, unpredictable jokes.
Needham told The Direct: "It's a completely new version. It's a complete departure from the Joker that you think you knew.
"He's not funny. He's not manic. He's not gleeful. He's very serious, very cold, not fun, but absolutely evil version of the Joker."
What else has Matthew Needham been in? Needham is best known for his role as Larys Strong in Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. Other credits include Napoleon, Great Expectations, Doctor Who and Sanditon.
Jamie Chung plays Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn

Who is Harley Quinn? Harleen Quinzel is a psychiatrist who descends into madness after encountering The Joker, taking on the violent persona of Harley Quinn.
While recent live-action depictions (e.g. Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad) have placed her in a more sympathetic light, this version of the character is more overtly menacing.
What else has Jamie Chung been in? Chung rose to fame on MTV reality series The Real World: San Diego, before landing acting roles in The Hangover: Parts II and III, Gotham, The Gifted, Lovecraft County and Dexter: New Blood. She also voices Go Go Tomago in Disney animated franchise Big Hero 6.
Christina Ricci plays Selina Kyle / Catwoman

Who is Catwoman? Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is a cat burglar who gains a level of infamy in Gotham City. She can be friend, foe and even lover to Batman depending on the story.
What else has Christina Ricci been in? After gaining prominence as Wednesday in The Addams Family films, Ricci's most notable credits have been Monster, Pan Am and The Matrix Resurrections. She currently stars in Paramount Plus thriller Yellowjackets and played a supporting role in the first season of Netflix's Wednesday reboot, starring Jenna Ortega.

Who is Roxy Rocket? Like Harley Quinn, Roxy is a character that first appeared in animation, before migrating to the comic books due to her popularity.
In past depictions, Roxy has been a stunt double, who puts her acrobatic skills to use in burglaries and other such schemes – which puts her on a collision course with Catwoman.
However, in Caped Crusader, the character has been reimagined with a steampunk aesthetic and a "tragic backstory" (via Entertainment Weekly).
What else has Wunmi Mosaku been in? Mosaku recently earned a BAFTA for her turn as Annie in smash-hit horror flick Sinners. She's also known for playing Hunter B-15 in Loki and Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as for roles in HBO's Lovecraft Country, BBC One's Luther and indie film His House.
Jason Watkins plays Alfred Pennyworth

Who is Alfred Pennyworth? Alfred is Bruce Wayne's trusted butler, who knew his parents before their untimely death and has their son's best interests at heart. He regularly assists Bruce in his crime-fighting hobby behind the scenes.
What else has Jason Watkins been in? Watkins currently stars in detective drama McDonald & Dodds on ITV1. Prior to that gig, he was known for W1A, Taboo and A Very English Scandal, among other things.
Minnie Driver plays Oswalda Cobblepot / Penguin

Who is Oswalda Cobblepot / Penguin? Penguin is a ruthless crime boss, who has long been one of the most famous members of Batman's rogues gallery. Caped Crusader presents a "genderless" version of the character in a break from the typical depiction.
On her casting, Driver said: "It's a great reimagining... A lot of times today we are trying to redress the balance of representation, and you sometimes feel that things have been shoehorned in - it's more performative than organic.
"This is organic; it's believable that this bizarre, strange, larger-than-life character is genderless because it's the essence of the Penguin."
What else has Minnie Driver been in? Driver's film credits include Good Will Hunting, 007: Goldeneye, The Phantom of the Opera and 2021's Cinderella, starring Camilla Cabello. Earlier this year, she starred opposite action legend Jason Statham in The Beekeeper. On the small screen, her highlights are The Day Today, The Riches, Starstruck and Our Flag Means Death.
Dan Donohue plays Clayface

Who is Clayface? There have been several versions of Clayface in the Batman comics over the decades, with each one having their own traits and abilities. However, typically he is a character who disguises his identity, either by superhuman shape-shifting or use of prosthetics.
The body horror aspects of the villain are to be the focus of upcoming live-action film Clayface, which takes place in a separate continuity to Caped Crusader.
What else has Dan Donohue been in? Donohue is best known for Apple TV+ sci-fi drama For All Mankind and for voice roles in high-profile video games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, The Elder Scrolls Online and Horizon: Forbidden West.
Eric Morgan Stuart plays James Gordon

Who is Renee Montoya? Renee is a detective for the Gotham City Police Department.
