Beware the Batman

Drz · 10-04-2011, 08:27 AM

The new CGI Batman show that will continue once Batman the Brave & the Bold concludes in US has been confirmed as "Beware the Batman" Courtesy of World's Finest & DC Nation

Quote:

The next Batman animated series, debuting in 2013, is titled Beware the Batman. According to Register, the CGI animated series will spotlight a classic looking Batman teaming up with a gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth and a female ninja sidekick. Beware the Batman is executive-produced by Glen Murakami, and will also explore the mythology’s more obscure villains, such as Professor Pyg, alongside mainstays such as The Joker and The Penguin. In the series, Batman will team up with a younger female sidekick named Katana. During the keynote, Register added the sidekick is “kind of Robin, but not really.”

So instead of Cassandra Cain they went with Katana? Okay... >_>

Also for the lovely little Bronys out there, you might be interested to hear the creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, they will also do DC girl related shorts:

Why is Alfred toting a gun? Isnt that the complete opposit of the entire POINT of Batman?

Alfred's always used guns. He's the only member of the Batfamily that Bruce allows to.

Don't doubt Pennyworth, he's a badass.

The main point of Batman is he's a powerless superhero/crimefighter who dresses in a bat-themed suit. His no-kill rule is very much secondary to that.

Still, I agree. I doubt Batman would let Alfred work for him if he was a duel-pistol wielding nut.

Anubis · 10-04-2011, 10:14 AM

Well, there was that one time Alfred was guarding the Bat-Cave with a Shotgun in that issue of Superman/Batman.

Batman's got the thing against Guns. Alfred? Not so much.

WTfF? So weird...

SpideyForPrez · 10-04-2011, 01:31 PM

I didn't like the sound of Brave and the Bold when that was first announced. Than I came to love it as the show progressed. But this... gun toting Alfred? Katana as his sidekick? CGI? I got a bad feeling about this. Why not just give us a Batman and Batgirl show?

I think I'm looking forward to the claymation shorts more than this new show.

I wish they would just use the Young Justice animation.

However a CGI show wouldnt be bad. However again, the animation doesnt look good for this

Anubis · 10-04-2011, 02:27 PM

It looks like the same people that made that Firebreather movie. Looks a bit like Batman's old school look. Back when he had the purple gloves.

I don't know. We'll see.

EDIT: nvm

Mister Meddle · 10-04-2011, 02:43 PM

I'll give it a shot but so far I don't like the sound of it. Batman teaming up with some ninja girl and Alfred is a gunman that works with Batman? I know these people want to be original and all but sometimes being original isn't necessarily a good thing.

The Sage · 10-04-2011, 02:57 PM

I've never seen a bad Batman animated series. Even The Batman which I didn't like at first, got good later on. I'm sure this will be no different.

Will this be on along with Brave and the Bold?

By 2013 Brave and Bold will be looooong gone.

obin_gam · 10-04-2011, 03:00 PM

the desing is horrible. looks even uglier than The Batman :vomit:

Only good thing about this is Prof Pyg! Scary as **** villains are the best

Sawyer · 10-04-2011, 04:57 PM

That's a pretty horrfically ugly design.

agree.

James Tucker was announced as the producer of the new Batman series at ComiCon two summers ago. Based on the look and synopsis, I now understand why he's no longer attached to the show.

Love ya James- wish that you, and not Sam Register, were in charge of all things Batman at WB Animation.

Glen Murakami is executive producer for this show.

If that were the look of the show, it sure would've been interesting.

James Tucker sure as hell needs to be attached to something. I want to see him exec. producing another DC show, especially one with a more serious take after the lighter BBATB and Legion shows.

Lencho01 · 10-04-2011, 07:49 PM

His head shape is really odd to me.

I wonder if Alfred will be cut like the Earth One version.

Sawyer · 10-04-2011, 10:43 PM

I really can't get over how bad that character design looks. The head makes Batman look like he has Down's syndrome.
