Beware the Batman is an upcoming American computer-animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. The series is set to air in the United States on Cartoon Network starting in 2013, as part of their DC Nation block. It is the replacement for Batman: The Brave and the Bold. To confirm the 2013 premiere date, at the 2012 Cartoon Network Upfront Beware the Batman was listed as part of 2012-13 television schedule.Beware the Batman is produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
Crime-fighting vigilante Batman teams up with swordmistress Katana and his gun-toting ex-secret agent butler Alfred Pennyworth to face the criminal underworld led by Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad, King Kraken, and Magpie.
After Batman: The Brave and the Bold ended its run in November 2011, a new series went under production, so that Batman could return to a more "serious tone." When the series was first unveiled it was announced that lesser known villains would be introduced. Sam Register explained "We went in deeper into the villain library and pulled out some other villains" and the studio did not want the series to do another "Joker story". With Batman receiving a new sidekick, Outsiders member Katana, Register even commented that "Katana is gonna be his new Robin, but not necessarily." The series will be computer-animated in a CGI format, similar to Green Lantern: The Animated Series's animation style, the CGI has been described as "cutting edge."
