- Title: Beware the Batman
In the keynote speech at the MIP Junior showcase in Cannes, France, Sam Register, executive vice president for creative affairs at Warner Bros. Animation, has announced the next animated Batman series for Cartoon Network, debuting in 2013, will be named Beware the Batman. The cartoon will focus on “a classic-looking Batman (sans classic yellow oval Bat-logo) teaming up with a gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth and a female ninja sidekick” named Katana (who may, or may not be a version of The Outsiders’ Katana) to take on Batman’s “more obscure villains, such as Professor Pyg,” but will also include well-known Bat-villains.
