    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?

    Metamorpho is in Justice League. The episode "Metamorphosis"(it's in two parts) and he's seen a few times in the background of Justice League Unlimited..

    LOL if i were a villian id be more scared of Alfred than Batman. Show so far doesnt look promising. Batman cartoons have pretty much gone down hill since TAS IMO

    Also they really just need to spin off of young justice. I prefer those designs and those villians

    Why do Batman's ears look like antennae? He is not a bug. I also disapprove of Alfred as a former spy. I didn't like it in Earth 1 because Alfred's funnier with his traditional history. With military experience he's boring.

    Metamorpho was on JUSTICE LEAGUE and BATMAN: BRAVE & THE BOLD. He's hardly new to the animation game.

    I read an article a couple months back, they basically said Batman's main villains won't be on the series. Especially Joker. I will give this series a chance but Mr. Toad? ...really? lol

    @PortlandsBatman: The show's producers actually said at one point that they would not be using the classic Batman villains... so, no Joker.

    This is a blessing in disguise in my opinion. Everything revealed about this show so far has contributed to the deduction that it will be complete garbage. At least the Joker won't be tainted by its failure.

    To me, this show looks like it doesn't really know what it wants to be.

    Campy, cartoonish-looking villains, but a beefed up, muscly, gun-toting Alfred?

    And actually Metamorpho already made his debut in the Justice League Animated Series from memory..

    Right? He actually almost was in B:TAS, they cast him and were ready and everything but something happened and it fell through and Mark Hamill just kind of got the job by chance. But Tim Curry would be amazing, and I think they should try again to get him if Hamill's truly done with the role.

    this looks so crappy, and to make not so well known villains, as the main bad guys in this show, just makes it worse, they should of just spun off the batman from Young Justice, or never canceled Batman the Brave and the Bold!

    @SmashBrawler:

    Just went back to verify, but no it was Geoff Johns who wrote Aquaman.

    I could've sworn it was Grant Morrison who wrote the book....
