Character Bios And Designs For 'Beware The Batman' Revealed

A DC kids magazine gives us a peek at the show that will premiere on Cartoon Network sometime in 2013.

It seems Katana has taken center stage today. Earlier we saw the announcement that the DC heroine would be seeing her very own, self-titled series and now we've been given a better look at the character who is also set to appear on DC Nation's Beware The Batman animated television show. Although the show has seen its fair share of ups and downs (changes in the release date, the show placed briefly on hiatus), it seems DC is ready to begin making a marketing push. In a recent issue of the DC Nation kids magazine readers were given a look at the character designs and bios for the character's that will appear on the upcoming television series and one of them just so happens to be Katana.

Among other characters we will be seeing on the small screen once Beware The Batman launches on Cartoon Network are Professor Pyg, Mr. Toad, Alfred and of course, Batman. You might notice some interesting differences in the character costumes and their overall appearances on the TV show. The most discernible difference is likely the portrayal of Alfred on the show. Often when we see Alfred's character, he's dressed in a tuxedo and looking rather dapper. On Beware The Batman Alfred will have a very different look. The character will still wear a suit, but this time his face will look a lot more hardened. The designers have given him a much bulkier physique than what we are used to seeing, and it looks like he will be doing a lot more than just playing Butler at Wayne Manor.

It will definitely be interesting to see the show when it finally premieres on Cartoon Network because it is so remarkably different from the different versions of animated Batman we've seen in the past. Not only that, but it might be neat to see some all-new faces on the show like Professor Pyg, Humpty and Metamorpho since none of these characters have made their onscreen debuts, at least not yet. What do you think of the upcoming Beware The Batman show premiering sometime in 2013 on Cartoon Network? Are you looking forward to watching it? What do you think of all the Katana news we've seen today?

Professor Pyg is a bizarre pick for a children's show, and he looks way too big.

@TenEyedMen: No no no, you don't get to make a claim like that and ask me to go looking for your evidence. Either you provide evidence that the majority of people were against YJ and Spectular Spiderman or just admit you're making shit up. A few people aren't the entirety of the public and not even a good enough sample to extrapolate information on the public's mood on such things.

Asking for proof for public reaction in the first place, as opposed to say a specific article or interview, is really stupid in the first place. It's not something you can quote and cite as easily.

Of course not EVERYONE was against those shows in the first place, but again, quite a lot of people wouldn't shut up about SSM's designs or how Herman Schultz wasn't Shocker, or how Electro wasn't wearing his starfish mask, and other stupid complaints. Yet, the show's amazing writing won nearly everyone over. Same with Young Justice. Some people were angry it wasn't like PAD's original YJ, and yet, the show's strong writing and directing won a lot of people over.

My point is: Judging and dismissing something before it comes out is really stupid. I'm not a fan of some of this show's changes as well, but I'm not gonna lump it with utter crap like Ultimate Spider-Man yet. Making judgments this fast is really kinda immature, and it shows how people haven't learned to never judge a book by its cover.

@TenEyedMen: Then don't propose it as fact when you can't back it up.

@PortlandsBatman: I heard that the creators do not want to use the Joker, the Riddler, or, I believe they said the Penguin. This saddens me, but at least there may be hope for Scarecrow and Bane.

This is a sign people. A sign that DC is running out of ways to milk Batman and should probably give an animated series to another hero...

This looks horrible! I love that Katana is on the show, she brings girl-power and diversity. Alfred looks more powerful than Batman. I have no clue who Professor Pyg and Mr Toad are? Cartoon Network has gone down hill for me.

This looks pretty bad, Batman TAS came out how long ago and they still can't come up with anything even close to as good

Brave and the Bold was pretty excellent. A different kind of good, mind you, but it was still a great effort. It was always clever and well-written, and some of its episodes could get very dark and suspenseful.

I think that CN shouldn't do this show, but try to bring back the rejected Nightwing show. The character concept art looks really cool, but I guess we'll never see it on the tv. :(
