Batman: The Brave and the Bold has ended so we've been left with a void when it comes to animated Batman programming. We've heard that the next show will be entitled Beware the Batman. Little information has been released before but today an official teaser has surfaced.

What's the angle on this incarnation of Batman?

A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman’s core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form. Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City’s criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a “Batman show.” Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans. With WBA’s Sam Register executive producing, and Batman Beyond’s Glen Murakami and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated’s Mitch Watson producing, Beware the Batman, based on characters from DC Comics, is coming soon to Cartoon Network!

The original image listed the show as being released in 2013. SuperHeroHype has mentioned it's due later this year. The idea of a CGI Batman series could give us a fresh take on the Caped Crusader. You can bet we'll keep you updated as soon as we discover more information.

mmm im not a fan of CGi but ill give this a chance. i didnt think id like batman brave and the bold but it was ok..so i guess this cant be horrible.

Could there be crossover with GL the Animated Series? Hmmm...

i hate cgi, i hate the GL series...i hope i like this series...but that cgi is killing me

I want to batman to take a break. A break for almost 5 years.

I have not been let down by an animated Batman series yet so I will watch this. Being in CG doesn't bother me at all just as long as Batman acts like Batman and not a knock off. lol

LMAO

No.

I really just want Batman the Brave and the Bold :(

From what I see this show comes up with some interesting points

1. It will be the first CGI series so far. I won't judge it by that, but honestly there are very few awesome things CGI has offered me TV show standard.

2. Batman looks cool... Golden Age cool.

3. By the rogue gallery selection, Batman looks and overall atmosphere of the story, it seems that it will be a darker show, which is just what the franchise needed again. The Batman was aimed at a younger audience (however, I would totally dig a Flash cartoon like that) and TBATB was just too geeky (which was the reason I loved it).

4. And not a single Robin was given that day. I like that, if I wanted to see a show for Robin I would rather see Yong Justice. Katana's fine.

SCREW THIS SHOW

ugh katana ? really nothing against the character by why her ? this type of show seems like it could be really dope with a tim and bruce team up more as detectives than super heroes

Sounds interesting. I would have preferred Cassandra Cain to Katana though if they wanted an Asian ninja girl sidekick. I don't really get the "violating my childhood" talk. Young Justice disregards a shit ton of continuity and is still an extremely enjoyable show.

Epic

huh.... i thought this was supposed to be a Batgirl show...?

People complained when Brave and The Bold was announced, they all said "oh great another Adam West show" or "I want my Batman to be dark and brooding".....then those nay-sayers actually saw the show and had to eat their words. People complained about Green Lantern The Animated Series before it came out, saying things like "Oh the CG looks like crap" or "What?, no John Stewart, lame".....then it actually came out and those same people quickly had to shut up because of how good it is. 
 
Now people are complaining about this show, who wants to see all those people be wrong? Come on, lets see a show of hands!!! I sure do cause it's fun as heck never letting them live it down. Nothing is more satisfying then seeing a person complain about a film or show before seeing it then watch them make a complete reversal and praise it. Cause I get to be the one who said "Oh weren't you the dude who said that you wanted your Batman to be dark and brooding?"
 
People need to chill out and stop judging what the show is going to be like just by a few picture, a trailer, or whatever else. Once the show actually premieres, then criticize it.

A cartoon to coincide with the new film was foreseen. By your dates listed, I'll guess at the least the deadline for this will get pushed up to bring it closer to the film, as well to push related holiday merch.

I hope it isn't as hokey as G.L. is. G.L. is just pure crap at the moment. I don't mind the use of new villains. Yay for new villains. Just make it dark, and at leat take one note from from the Timm and Dini era. Use the right voice over actors. Real actors for voices and not professional OVER acting voice over actors that make it seem like it's...................over acted and child like. Even with some of the the last few straight to video animated films have been using some of these horrible horrible voice over actors and it makes watching them hard to watch. Batman is going to be watched by the younger crowd no matter what. Try and make it appeal to the older crowd as well. I had a friend tell that me when he was in jail, the only time the place was quiet was when Batman the animated series was on. Think Nolans Batman, not Schumakers. Even BMTAS was more or less styled off of Burtons Batman, but now shows seem to be tongue and cheek bubble gummy Schumaker styled. Just weak. It's also why a lot of Marvel animated projects are stupid as well. People love the X-men show from the 90's but it's hard to watch because it's so damn childish. Sure it's comics, but it doesn't mean it has to sound like something made for a 5 year old. I watched a bunch of them thinking that the story was okay but the acting was crap. Made me not watch it. I'm gettig the feeling from G.L. right now. Justice League worked, UJL worked, Superman worked. Nothing right now is working tho. This new Ultimate Spider-man looks horrible to me. It looks like something for my 8 year old nephew. Such a let down. Batman Year One was great but it had nothing cheesy about it. In fact, most of the actors who did the voice work in it, I can pull out from a movie Ive seen. I can't do that with other stuff. Take a note from that.

@Grimoire: You liked the "The Batman"? The show that came after Batman the animated series. The one with the flipping around long haired Joker? Really? I thought it was just awful. I tried it a lot and saw a couple of okay ones, but for the most part hated it.

CGI?... ugh..
