Beware The Batman

*Raph's Girl* · 10-04-2011, 02:24 PM

Warning: The following is not a joke. I repeat not a horrible joke.

The next Batman series has been announced. It will air in 2013 and be called Beware the Batman. It will be CGI and have KATANA as his side kick and a gun toting Alfred.

Also Cartoon Nework will have a block called DC Nation that'll feature Aardman created claymation Batman shorts, Plastic Man shorts, Doom Patrol Shorts....and a Lauren "I created My Little Pony Friendship is Magic!" Faust shorts called "Super Best Friends Forever" featuring Wondergirl, Batgirl, and Supergirl) These shorts will run for 3 years on Cartoon Network and debut in spring 2012.

U can see these announcements and more here:

A gun toting Alfred. Well, .... that's most certainly different for Alfred in a animated series.

Regardless, it's Batman. I'm sure I'll atleast check it out once to see what it's all about.

Interesting. Seems to be rooting from the Morrison Batman & Robin comics with the villains of Pyg and the Toad guy from the beginning of it.

*CyberCubed* · 10-04-2011, 04:09 PM

Is it just me or is every new Batman cartoon going to forever be inferior to B:TAS?

I guess it is true, you can never top the classics.

Brave and the Bold kicks ass.

This is certainly iffy, but I'll give it a chance.

*ZariusTwo* · 10-05-2011, 06:11 AM

Interesting use of Katana...perhaps they don't want to use Robin because the current one ages Batman too much?

Awesome use of Pygg though

*Slap-Happy* · 10-05-2011, 09:06 AM

I like it. Specifically Alfred.

But Batman's suit design is strange to me. It's a solid gray suit except for the symbol, cowl and belt

*TheCanadiandrome* · 10-05-2011, 03:38 PM

i hope i get to see this, i'm curious

*CyberCubed* · 10-05-2011, 03:40 PM

Why is it that every new Batman show needs a gimmick?

Why can't they do another standard Batman cartoon in Gotham City like B:TAS? They can add in Robin, Batgirl, etc. eventually but what is wrong with the classic Batman formula?

I realize The Batman was kind of like that, but all the villains were turned into super mutants in that show.

*The Stryker* · 10-06-2011, 08:18 AM

Know why they don't do a show exactly like TAS? Because that already exists. Why do the same sh*t.

*Samhain* · 10-06-2011, 11:56 AM

This looks good to me. I'll check it out when it starts.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 10-06-2011, 12:21 PM

Looks like it will be interesting. It's fun to see all the different takes on Batman. Then again I'm one of those kind of people who likes radically different takes on things. Well within reason. I mean they need to stay true to the heart of the material. I'll give this a chance.

There are a million different ways you can do a Batman show in Gotham City. Nobody is saying it has to be exactly like B:TAS, just a regular Batman show without any gimmicks.

*Ninjinister* · 10-06-2011, 03:30 PM

This has my interest.

*sdp* · 10-06-2011, 04:12 PM

I'm not sure, too early to judge. BTAS has already done and while it could be done better I'd rather see something I haven't which would be a Gotham Knights with a bunch of the Bat family, that's what I'd want, so much potential and stories that haven't been done, instead of Batman's early life and solo or even just early career with the first batgirl/robin. there is so many more mythos to pull stories from.

*oldmanwinters* · 10-06-2011, 04:27 PM

Man, this is gonna be a hard adjustment for me. One thing that I feel Batman and the TMNT have in common is that they have been successively reimagined in just about every incarnation they have stared in. For whatever reason, it works for those franchises, even though not every fan buys into every new incarnation. I don't know if I'm gonna like the new Batman show (or the new Turtles for that matter), but I will probably give it a try anyway.

*Turo602* · 10-06-2011, 07:54 PM

Hmm... Why? Why must they ruin Batman? I can't take this show serious. First off I'm not a fan of CGI shows since I have yet to find one that interest me. And this new look is just a big no for me. First TMNT now this. Guess I have to wait longer for a new back to the basics good looking Batman cartoon.

Do you know what Concept Art means?

Yes, and this is what is representing this show at the moment. Anyway, I highly doubt the show will change for the better as in the way it looks.

People bitched like babies when Brave and the Bold came out, and that ended up becoming universally loved
