Aurora Shooting Has Warner Bros. Making Changes To ‘Beware The Batman’

by CrazyMustang


Cartoon Network’s upcoming CG animated Beware the Batman is under review by Warner Bros. following the July 20 shooting tragedy in Aurora, Colorado that left 12 dead and dozens injured at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. An unspecified number of changes were made to some designs and situations on the series to minimize the amount of weapon imagery deemed too realistic, including changing the shape of gun barrels from round, rendering the weapons in a more stylized manner, unlike the realistic-looking guns Batman’s ally Alfred was shown using in early promotional materials for the series. The show, set for a more serious tone than its lighthearted predecessor, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, was originally set for an unspecified release in 2013. No word on whether or not any changes being made will result in a delayed release.

Cartoon Network Announces “Beware The Batman”

by CrazyMustang

The next DC Comics superhero to join Cartoon Network’s DC Comics-based DC Nation block will be: the Dark Knight. It’s been too long without a “Batman” presence on television. Anyway, “Beware the Batman” will be a CGI show and feature obscure or relatively new rogues such as Anarky, Professor Pyg, Magpie and Mister Toad. Besides the villains, “Beware the Batman” will put sword-wielding DC Comics heroine Katana in the role of Batman’s sidekick, having previously appeared in the great “Batman: The Brave and the Bold.” Created by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo, the sword-wielding Tatsu Yamashiro has a comic book history with Batman that goes all the way back to the beloved 1980s series The Outsiders, and recently joined the Gotham-based Birds of Prey as part of DC’s New 52 initiative. In addition to Katana, Batman will also have his gun-toting ex-secret agent/butler Alfred on hand to assist him. “Beware the Batman” wasn’t expected to hit airwaves until 2013, but the show will now hit Cartoon Network later this year at an unknown date, possibly in time for “The Dark Knight Rises” or quite possibly after, maybe?
