Sam Register, Warner Brothers Animation Executive VP for Creative Affairs gave a little insight to the new Batman cartoon this past weekend while giving a keynote speech at the MIP Junior Market convention. It will be called Beware the Batman and will debut in 2013.
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, but will also feature 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 that Katana will fill the sidekick role, but won't be a replacement for Robin.
Thanks to Comic Book Movie for the head's up.
Sounds interesting. Katana instead of Robin, hmmm... Not sure about a gun-toting Alfred. What are your thoughts?
