This guy is trying to get into a corporation's pants with these shill threads.

?? lol hahahaha im trying to do what? hhahah and what the hell is a "shill" thread lol

Actually i honestly did go through a few pages skim reading titles to see if a thread already existed but didnt see one.Im not going to go through 30 pages just on the off chance that a active thread already exist.There is no money or "reward' for posting and sharing news with my tmnt comrades that i know of.

Comparing the animation between Nick's TMNT to CN's new Batman, TMNT wins!

This incarnation of the Dark Knight looks awful. This is the crappiest CGI I have ever seen. Probably the most low budget of a CGI show ever. Also, the villains really don't seem intimidating. A Pig and a Frog. Seriously. You can't just do ONE episode where the Joker is there? Like or not, Joker is part of Batman lore. You don't include him in your first season, what's the point? Also, I never dreamed that Batman would get into a fight with Lady Gaga before. Like I really care. If that's Catwoman, she looks more like Black Cat from Spider-Man.

honestly it looks more like paul dini's batman the animated series with a mix of 2005 the batman that aired on w.b kids.

Heres my approach to the animation...i usually always complain about a new shows animation...from tfs prime,gi renegades,to nick tmnt...and THEN i get used to it and appreciate it as another form of art and if the show itself is solid,i will continue to watch and enjoy.At the end of the day,im just glad to have a new batman cartoon again.Was not a fan of brave and the bold...at all.

Well actually Bauer, in the comics Professer Pyg is a pretty dark character:



And as for "Lady Gaga", that's Magpie, a villian Superman and Batman fought in issue 3 the 1986 "The Man Of Steel" comic book series.

Anyway, after seeing the trailer, I'm kinda interested in watching this show. The CGI does look pretty neat. I'm sure Joker and the other Batman villians will appear later on down the road.

The only well known member of the rogue's gallery set to appear is Ra's Al Ghul. Show creators have basically said Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, ect won't show up like at all. The series is focusing on Professor Pygg's Circus of Strange.

The trailer doesn't look bad at all. The animation isn't any worse than the Green Lantern cartoon and new villains never used in animation before is a plus

I'm sure they'll eventually use Joker, Riddler, etc but save them for Seasons 2 or 3. Just like I'm sure Robin will eventually show up even if they deny it now.

Yeah the trailer looks fine since it does look like a new interesting take on the character. I still would've preferred a Batfamily show but oh well, I guess eventually we'll get one since there's not much else they can do with the franchise after this show is over.

And yeah I'm sure familiar rogues will appear eventually, The Batman and Brave and the Bold also didn't want to use the "normal" rogues but eventually ended up using them, the whole idea of "This is a totally new take on Batman", was used in those two shows but people kept asking and complaining until they got them.

Season 2 will bring old characters back. People are kidding themselves if they don't think Joker and Robin will show up eventually. These villains won't sell toys, that's the important thing.

There's a search function. Simple.

I dont think the animation is all that bad, and im liking the black and yellow color scheme. But I think the Batman's design sucks, that face is terrible. Although Im digging the new batmobile.

I was already skeptical upon hearing that the show was being that Warner Bros was being retooled for censorship (:tgrumble:) and this trailer hasn't done anything to raise my interest. But hey, I guess I'll just have to watch for myself.

Beware the Batman opening: http://family-room.ew.com/2013/07/02...le-exclusives/

Pretty neat, IMO.

Cool opening sequence... altho repeating "Beware the Bat" over and over again is a bit odd for a theme song...but it seems to fit I suppose.

Needs the Burton music. Then I'll watch it.

the intros alright, but...

THAT IS THE WORST THEME I HAVE EVER HEARD FOR A BATMAN SHOW EVER, WHY CAN'T THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS:



or this:

Please pass the sign that reads "You are now exiting 1989" thankyou.

According to World's Finest, it's worth a watch

Everybody is complaining about the animation of this show just as they did with the new TMNT show (Including Myself) and now it is one of the most watched cartoon show out right now.

I do feel the animation is unusual, but if the stories are good then is has a shot.


Oh and give the new guy a break all because he didn't use the search button, at least he checked the first couple of pages.

Just saw the first episode and, it's better than I expected it to be, But I'm still bummed with the lack of Joker.

Hmm... I kept waiting to hear the theme song, but either I missed it or they didn't air it.

I saw it. As a Batman fan, I'm sorry. It stunk. DC has lost it.:tsad:

I found this to be interesting.

Not feelin' it. I'm very much against every new cartoon show having to be CGI to begin with, but everything else they did with it just seems off.

It's very blatantly like the CGI Spider-Man show on MTV back after the first movie: just a place-holder to keep the franchise around until the next movie comes out.

I know nothing can or will ever top the 90s cartoon, but to my thinking, if your intention is not to at least TRY, don't bother. "Good enough for goodness sake" is not good enough. The people making these shows should be trying to make the very best show ever with every attempt. There's no excuse at all for not trying your best, just because you'll still be compared to something that came before. A big reason the 90s Batman show will never be surpassed, is that nobody even wants to TRY.

:tcool:You are spot on. That's the reason I think the majority of us love Nick's TMNT. Even though it's not the classic OT series, the team still tries to make it the "very best show ever" by incorporating the stuff we love from the franchise.:tsmile: That's why Beware the Batman fails. Saying, "We don't want to use Joker for other villains (e.g. Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad)," is a mistake. Joker is an iconic villain that people know and love, and you're going to avoid him in your first season (or only season) just for some stupid pig and frog?!:tmad:

This is one of those moments where people change things for the sake of change, and it's getting old . . . and lame.:trolleye: "We don't want Alfred just to be an old butler, so he's going to be an MI6 agent so he can carry guns and help Batman." No no no no. You want an MI6 agent on your show, make up the character. Don't use someone who's been iconic in the Batman franchise. Why can't they just come up with an original character like in the 90s Batman, where the creators developed Harley Quinn? They didn't know she would become so popular. At first it was just an experiment. Soon, she became as iconic as the main heroes and villains. Why can't they do that more often?

Besides that, what about merchandising and promotion? Nick's TMNT has been advertising their show even before it came on to get kids and fans watching it. Once it became popular, mostly everything was selling. They've sold toys, school supplies, games, etc. What does Beware the Batman have? Nothing. There's nothing that focuses on that show. The Batman figures they have now do not even represent anything from the show. If you were going to release a new Batman show, it would be wise to release toys based on it before its release. This is just another case of the CGI Green Lantern series that never had toys because the movie didn't make that much money.

Plus, I did not get any joy watching this cartoon. The 90s Batman series is a classic that I have always loved and had great episodes in the spirit of Batman. The Batman in the 00s was okay, but still fun and did an interesting take on the franchise. Brave and the Bold wasn't like any of them, but it was still enjoyable. "Mayhem of the Music Meister" is definitely one of my family's favorites.:twink: But this episode I watched today (the premiere itself to a new Batman show) was, sadly, boring and forgettable. Batman should be exciting, not bland like this one. Also, DC makes the worst CGI. It's like they take 2-D drawn models and turn them into 3-D. Sometimes, modernizing a traditional look is awkward. Yet, 2-D drawings from Nick's TMNT look great as CGI models. I just don't get it.

To be fair, it's been established in the comics that in his youth Alfred had served in the British military, so he's always been capable with guns, it's just not done very often because it's only necessary when the story calls for it.

I liked the Green Lantern show, for what it was, but to this day I'd still prefer a GL show done in the style of the Timm-verse, or Young Justice, or pretty much any other 2D animated style, over anything CGI. But I will say, at least being in CGI fits the look and feel of Green Lantern and that universe; it's a bright, shiny, fantastical universe. Batman, way less so. And I agree, if they had to go CGI, absolutely HAD to, it still should look better.

I wanted to and tried to hate Brave and the Bold, but it was way too clever and faithful to the comics. It's a shame such faithfulness was "wasted" on a "kiddie show", though; in some ways, it was even more faithful to the comics than anything ever done, even Justice League Unlimited.

pretty decent opener. Interesting take on Batman's detective skills, Alfred and villains. I'll have to see a few more episodes to judge if I like this show or not though.

What's this stuff about Anarchy I've been seeing?

I find it amazing that alot of people judge a show after 1 episode. I usually give a show about 10 episodes before deciding if I wanna continue following it.

Im not sure what any of you expected the opener to be. First episodes are usually generic anyway and are used more to introduce the theme of things.

I know Im in a minority when I say I did not like Animated Series. The tone, art and characters were great but what bothered me was Batman over came things way too easy. Even in the most specific circumstances he had a quick answer for it. Whats the term for this...Deuce Ex Machina?

Beyond and The Batman were ok from what I saw. I liked Brave an the Bold but I got into it too late and then it ended shortly after.

Batman is the worlds greatest detective. He's supposed to figure things out quickly.

I just watched the re-air this morning, and I kind of dug it. I feared the show would skew too real-world for my taste, in response to the Dark Knight movies. But I thought the villains were humorous and charming without being too silly. At the same time, it felt a bit mature in its handling of Bruce and Alfred's relationship. I haven't watched the last two or three Batman cartoons, but this one actually had my attention, and I was a bit impressed. Enough to watch it next week, anyway.

I meant hes able to overcome situations way too easily.

Like once hes tied up in chains and dumped underwater...the next scene hes free. Did not even show how he escaped.

Then theres a bus, I think, speeding down the street and he drives around it and the Batmobile's fins pop up and hold it back while he slams the brakes to stop.

That's really specific. It should not be able to just unleash a new weapon or ability like that and quickly solve any given problem. Theres a limit.

I know they said they don't want to use old villains in this show thus far, but I get the feeling Joker will show up in the season finale. They'll probably end the season on something big.

I seriously doubt we'll go an entire 65 episode series run without ever seeing Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, Mr. Freeze or the others. This show is also intended to sell toys, the toy companies will most likely be begging them to put the iconic villains in it eventually.

Anyone know how many episodes were ordered for Season 1? I'm assuming it was 26 like Green Lantern but couldn't find any confirmation of that.

CN tends to order 26 episode chunks of a show, but then they split them up into two "seasons" and only air 13 episodes and save the other 13 after a rerun break.

The show will probably have a 65 episode run overall like The Batman and Brave and the Bold did. Unless it really bombs as a show then it might get canceled after only 26 episodes like Green Lantern did.

I saw this joint. I liked it, pretty good stuff. I'll continue to watch.

I was actually less impressed than I had anticipated. Was pretty stoked but I just wasn't feelin' it while watching. I'll keep going though, maybe it'll hook me.

My sentiments for the most part. I look forward to seeing more episodes to see where it goes.
