Thanks for posting. I thought I was the only one who liked that Alfred.

I liked him, but I felt they went maybe a little too much in making him an action hero Alfred.

Alfred calling Bruce "Bruce" 24/7 will never not sound weird to me.

I also very much liked Alfred on GOTHAM...he was also a bad ass!! I haven't watched PENNYWORTH yet but I'm looking forward to checking it out.

As for Alfred from BEWARE THE BATMAN..... I was one of the first ones to say how bad that show looked when I saw the preliminary artwork and read the synopsis. I didn't think it would work at all. Now I'd give anything to see another season of that show.

I have a question about Batman cartoons and I hope someone knows an answer.

To be clear, I am not talking about the animated moves like Batman: Hush or Batman: Bad Blood or Batman: Under the Red Hood. These are clearly designed for more mature audiences.

I am talking about:

• The Batman
• Batman: the Brave and the Bold
• Beware the Batman

I'll even include the Batman Unlimited cartoon movies and web shorts - since they were designed for a younger audiences.

My question: Anyone have any news about a new Batman cartoon in the works?

It feels like such a long time since we've had one.

thanks.

Eh, the Lego DC Super Heroes line of DTVs is the closest you'll get. I like the last one pretty good, Batman: Family Matters. There's only been one of those movies this year, but there's usually two or three a year, and Batman is in all of them in some capacity.

There's Young Justice, not a Batman show but he appears and Nightwing is a main character.

Upcoming Harley Quinn cartoon obviously has some Bat-connections, and he'll probably appear in it in some capacity.

Outside of that, there's always some random DTVs every year. Batman vs the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (pg 13, but kinda light pg 13 and you know parents let the little ones see it anyways cause Turtles), Scooby-Doo meets Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Batman Ninja (can't remember the rating on that one, but I can't remember anything I wouldn't let a kid watch...).

Then there's the regular line of DTVs with at least one Batman one every year. All pg 13 (with one or two R's sprinkled into the mix), but still...

There's a lot of stuff with Batman in it, either as a main or minor characters, but no regular Batman series in the works that any of us know of no. But it is only a matter of time.
Preferably after a change in Cartoon Network so they can't actively try to kill it again.

I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of the style of BEWARE THE BATMAN when I first saw the initial artwork. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how good the show was and I was really bummed that it didn't get renewed. It was different, but it was really good!! It was a refreshing take on Batman, focusing on characters that had never been done before on tv. I also liked the different version of Alfred on the show. He was awesome!

This was pretty smart of them... Listen, BTAS is quite the hard act to follow, so it was probably best to focus on re imagining baddies that BTAS wouldn't touch (or may not have existed). I really enjoyed Magpie and wish they took some more of her attributes from the show into comics (she would make a wonderful foil to Catwoman...Margaret is crazy to Selina's sane, Magpie finds herself in love with Batman and wants to eliminate his female partner so they could be together, etc). I wrote off Beware the Batman at first, but definitely became a fan.

I didn't really dig their take on Anarky though.

We almost had a No Man's Land cartoon

I always get bumbed when im reminded of this news
it had an older batman, almost Dark Knight like
Cass Cain as Batgirl
Damian as Robin
and all happening during NML which is my favorite era of batman

such a missed opportunity

I just saw a little bit, like half a season, of Beware the Batman but there are 2 things that I remember
1- sadly I cannot ever forget about this detail but the Aurora shooting happen a few weeks/months before this animation was premiered
why do I remember that?
because as a responce to it before airing the show WB change the models of every single gun on the show to look like non-actual-guns and more like space guns or water guns, and every single time that a gun appeared on the show, which was every episode, I remember how stupid of a decision that was and remember the Aurora shooting

2- for as little as I saw it might have not been the best version of Alfred r Batman but it was definitely the best version of Katana
It was interesting because it was original and new

I saw the movie. It was alright. No fan of Legos.

I know it's only a matter of time. I'm just tired of waiting.

I enjoyed Magpie too.

Loved their take on Pig and Toad.

I wish we'd seen King Kraken.

It's not for every adult yeah, but I've been pleasantly surprised so far with the general quality of the Lego DC movies. To each their own.

And I get that waiting sucks, but there's enough Batman coming in the various DTV lines that even without a series it is hardly a drought for Batman in terms of animation.
And look at other fandoms - the first and only GL toon to date was tanked by low toy sales of the live action movie. The movie tanked the cartoon! And everyone liked the toon.
Wonder Woman has never had a series, and is only now this year getting a second animated DTV of her own after a decade since the last, despite her live action movie doing so very well.
Superman's gotten some DTVs true, only second to Batman, but his last series was all the way back in the early/mid 00's with Superman and the Legion of Superheroes or whatever the exact title was.

We're pretty spoiled as far as fandoms go. We know we're getting another series. How many other DC characters can say the same? Pretty much most other DC fans root for Justice League cartoons because that's about the only way their characters will get on a series.
