Aardman Animation making claymation Batman shorts; plus Beware the Batman announced

[Secret Fawful]

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. is also working with DC Comics and Cartoon Network on something called DC Nation: a three-year deal for an hour-long block of TV blending episodes of action shows, shorts and interstitials. “Every week on Cartoon Network you will see something new,” said Register. That includes a partnership with Aardman Animation, which is making claymation Batman shorts.
For the future, Warner Bros. is working on Beware The Batman, a CG series due to make its debut in 2013, pulling out more villains from his back catalogue: “We didn’t want to do another Joker story,” said Register. Alfred the butler gets a gun.
