If you got a feeling of deja vu when watching the Batman: Caped Crusader trailer, you weren’t alone.
During the trailer for the animated series, there was a shot of Batman and Alfred standing in front of a map.
As several people have noted, yes, it’s the same map of Gotham City as seen in the 1966 Batman series.
And you may even think it feels more familiar than that, as it’s acutally a map of St. Louis, Missouri. It’s a zoomed in portion of the city.

This is not to suggest that Gotham City is located where St. Louis exists, it just makes for a nice map with a lot of interesting landmarks.
The cast for the series includes Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) as Batman, Christina Ricci (Wednesday) as Catwoman, Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch) as Harley Quinn, Diedrich Bader (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) will be Harvey Dent, with more roles to be announced in the future for McKenna Grace, Reid Scott, Dane Donohue, Gary Anthony Williams, Jason Watkins, John Dimaggio, Krystal Joy Brown, Michelle C. Bonilla, Eric Morgan Stuart, Tom Kenny, and Minnie Driver.
Batman: Caped Crusader was picked up for two seasons by Amazon’s Prime Video, and is scheduled to debut its first season on Aug. 1.
