Batman Unlimited

It appears that after a long preproduction period Beware The Batman did not work out as Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network had hoped. So after half a season it was pulled and dumped the remainder of the season hidden within Adult Swim. It then seemed to have gone back to the drawing board and made a more Batman centric and darker version of Batman: Brave and The Bold based on the Batman Inc. concept. Here is a look at Batman's design and the logo for the upcoming cartoon.

Batman Unlimited is actually a straight to DVD film.

Some day, I'm gonna tell my kids how when I was growing up, there was just one cartoon Batman. And when they made new cartoons, it was about the same Batman. And Robin grew up and went solo. And there was second Robin. And Batman grew old and trained a the next Batman.

They're gonna be like,

Its amazing how they continually make one new Batman cartoon after the other. There's almost no breaks between them.

Yeah, poor Bats just hasn't seemed to keep a series running in a while. I suppose I'll give this film or whatever it is a shot.

Uh, what? Prior to Beware, both Brave and the Bold and The Batman ran for 65 episodes.

I've heard about a new Batman cartoon from my friend's animation teacher who is supposedly working on it. But I'm not sure it is legit or not. If it is, it's a smart move to base this off a toyline. Shame Beware the Batman didn't do so well but I look forward to the new cartoon if it's real.

Oh boy I don't really care for that design its not the worst one but they really could do with out the crazy nineties extreme bat logo and chin guard. Either way it doesn't really matter nothings confirmed other then there extending the brand outside of the Target exclusive toys. Its not like this hasn't happened before I remember everyone thought that Marvel Babies was going to be a show and it didn't.

Not sure if this is where they're getting the DTV news from. It's certainly not an official source.

I'm a big Batman fan and even I think it's too much

Personally I'd be fine with another Robin series, in the last series he stared in I felt he got the short end of the stick, even in the second season when he became the leader he still didn't get to fight much

Well, guess I'll give it a try. At least it looks like it's back to 2D Animation, that was one other annoyance by the last series, that and no Robin

So this isn't a show or movie? Just a toyline?

Coming from a huge, huge Batman fan... until people stop over-exaggerating how awesome he is and how he's the greatest anything at anything that ever existed, and actually act like they'd WANT to see other DC characters animated, things will remain exactly as they are.

It totally doesn't help that whenever they DO make a cartoon about someone who isn't Batman, nobody watches it.

I mean, I get it, yeah, Batman, he's great. I agree. But people over-sell it pretty dramatically, and it ends up hurting the rest of DC's cast of characters, because Warner Bros. believes that only Batman sells. People tell them that with their wallets and their eternally inane "Batman could sooooo beat up Superman/Wolverine/Robocop/Willy Wonka" Facebook jabber.

I wasn't excited for Beware the Batman but apparently it turned out alright and was showing promise in the later episodes? I don't know, I like Batman and I"m ok with more Batman shows as long as they do something different. At this point the only thing that would get me excited would be a Bat-family show with Dick already as Nightwing, Babs as Oracle, either Tim or Damien as Robin, Cass as Batgirl, etc. It's the one thing that hasn't really been done before as a full series outside of an episode or two in other Batman shows.

Personally, I wish Beware the Batman was still going and we weren't get yet another Batman cartoon so soon. The show was really getting good towards the end.
