Beware the Batman | comment |
A CGI animated Batman cartoon in which the Caped Crusader teams up with swordswoman Katana and his gun-toting ex-secret agent butler Alfred Pennyworth to face a criminal underworld populated by costumed supervillains.The show premiered on July 13th, 2013 on Cartoon Network as a part of their DC Nation block.Compare with fellow CGI cartoon Green Lantern: The Animated Series and fellow Batman adaptations The Batman and Batman: The Animated Series. Contrast with the more lighthearted Batman adaptation Batman: The Brave and the Bold and its more comedic DC Nation sister show Teen Titans Go!. Not to be confused with the trope Beware the Superman.Unfortunately, the series was the latest victim of Cartoon Network's ongoing Network Decay and was downright abused by the network. The show was abruptly pulled from the schedule after only eleven episodes with no notice or announcement from Cartoon Network. The show's cast assured that the show had simply been delayed until January 2014, then delayed again once January actually rolled around. It was not mentioned by Cartoon Network for their 2014 slate. However, new episodes past this initial run on Cartoon Network aired in New Zealand on NZTV.Toonami began running episodes starting on May 20th, 2014 with the production crew intent on airing all 26 episodes. In September, Cartoon Network explicitly forbade Toonami from ever airing the show again, forcing Toonami to air the final 7 episodes in a marathon on September 28th- the last day before CN's order went into effect. Cartoon Network then wrote off the show from their network, deeming it a financial failure and ending the series for good. Of the Batman animated series, Beware has the shortest run with only one season of 26 episodes.As of May 2020, the whole series can be streamed on HBO Max. | |

Jekyll & Hyde | |
Beware the Batman / int_12e8e69b | comment |
Normally, Man-Bat is Batman's version of The Lizard; losing his hearing and wanting bat-sonar to compensate, he mad science'd himself and Jekyll & Hyde-ifies between the good Kirk Langstrom and the savage Man-Bat. Occasionally, Man-Bat is portrayed as a hero with Langstrom's mind, but more often he's in thrall to his animal instincts. In this, he's forced to become Man-Bat by Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad, and as Man-Bat he only fights Batman or commits crimes when under their brainwashing. Most of his screentime is as an ally of the heroes, and he becomes a founding member of the Outsiders. | |

Apple of Discord: When Ra's al Ghul sets Gotham's villains on Batman, hoping one of them will bring him in for a reward, Batman beats them by deliberately surrendering to Magpie. Greed takes over and the villains take each other out to get the reward themselves, allowing Batman to walk away casually. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Beware the Batman / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Anarky and Professor Pyg switched places and Anarky went from Well-Intentioned Extremist to Magnificent Bastard. The original was a tragic, optimistic anti-hero with good intentions but wrong means. This Anarky is a self proclaimed sociopath and aimless terrorist that acts as a stand-in for the Joker. Makes unnerving sense if you read the miniseries Anarky. We also have Humpty Dumpty. His comic counterpart was a Harmless Villain at best and a Tragic Villain at worse. In here, he's a vengeful, vindictive, sadistic sociopath who loves to play games with his victims... games that usually involve trapping them in explosive suits or placing them in elaborate death traps. He's essentially an unnerving mix of The Riddler and Jigsaw. Harvey Dent is usually depicted as being Batman's ally from near the very beginning, but in this show he wants nothing more than for Batman and all his allies to rot in prison, often putting Revenge Before Reason to do so, working with supervillains like Anarky and Deathstroke and ordering Batman shot even when there was a bomb on his wrist that would blow up and kill him if he wandered too far from Batman. The reveal at the end of "Monsters" that Sapphire Stagg is just as much of a Corrupt Corporate Executive as her father. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Beware the Batman / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The shot of Batman gliding in the opening is similar to the final shot of Batman Begins. Professor Pyg's primary weapons are a bonesaw and scalpels, a reference to the fact that he often performs (completely insane and horrifying) surgery in the comics. In "Hunted", Alfred quips to Bruce that "bats are nocturnal", which Bruce mentions in Batman Begins. The very Manhattan-esque establishing shots of Gotham City, with the bridge over the river and all, seem taken almost straight from The Dark Knight Trilogy. Anarky's belt resembles the Batman: The Animated Series utility belt that that incarnation of Batman wore. Wayne Manor's head of security in "Safe" is Mr. Reese. The signal alarm in Alfred's watch is the ringtone from the Batphone from the 60's Batman series. "Toxic" isn't the first time Simon Stagg turned Rex Mason into Metamorpho. Batman takes the fall for Gordon breaking Tobias Whale out of jail, his reasoning for doing so almost identical to his actions at the end of The Dark Knight. Batman describes the Cauldron as a "No Man's Land". And the barricade of cars resemble the ones from The Dark Knight Rises. Katana's bike and helmet use the same red and yellow color scheme as her classic comics costume. Batman refers to the Industrial Area as a No Man's Land in "Allies". Bruce's quip, "I own this restaurant", in "Instinct" is taken from The Dark Knight. The logo for a plastics company◊ resembles the belt of Plastic Man. The company is also named "Cole Plastics" in reference to Jack Cole, creator of Plastic Man. In "Fall", it's revealed in flashbacks that Alfred told Bruce not to ignore his limits, like in The Dark Knight. Also Batman's defeat at the hand of Ra's and the ninjas taking him prisoner are reminiscent of the Batman vs Bane battle in The Dark Knight Rises. In "Hero", during their first fight against Deathstroke, Tatsu is caught in an explosion and buried under collapsed rubble. When Batman arrives to dig her out, he carries his injured sidekick in his arms, just like he did with Jason Todd in A Death in the Family. Harvey Dent's bandaged face, a dead ringer for his appearance in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. The original The Brave and the Bold comic was canceled to introduce Batman and the Outsiders. The cartoon Batman: The Brave and the Bold was canceled to introduce this series, which sets up the Outsiders in the first season finale and would have featured them if further seasons had been ordered. | |

Professor Pyg, in the comics is a completely Ax-Crazy (even by Gotham standards) member of the "Circus of the Strange" alongside Phosphorus Rex and Mr. Toad among others, and has a self-made army of lobotomized, mutilated Dollotrons. This version removes all these traits, the Dollotrons and Circus are never mentioned, and Pyg, now a soft-spoken eco-terrorist, is one of the most sane and amiable villains around. | |

Adapted Out: This adaptation intentionally avoids using many of Batman's more well-known rogues in favour of obscure C or D-lister villains as expies (with a few exceptions like Ra's al Ghul and Two-Face). Most notably, this is one of the few adaptations to not feature or even hint at the Joker (although that may also have been because of the show's cancellation after just one season). | |

Batman Gambit | |
Beware the Batman / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: In "Toxic", Batman lures Metamorpho to Stagg Enterprise to cure him by telling him that Simon Stagg was the one who exposed him to the gas which in turn will make Metamorpho go there to get revenge on him. We learn in "Family" that Batman has been using Tatsu to weaken the League of Assassins, and knew from the very beginning her story and that Bethanie worked for Silver Monkey. Once Batman figures out that Deathstroke is still alive and has been impersonating him, he posts a video declaring his intention to take over Gotham himself. He leaves a Gotham landmark very visible in the video, drawing the police to his location; aware that Deathstroke will come out of hiding to stop him before the police do. | |

Bad Boss | |
Beware the Batman / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Humpty Dumpty is yet another one, and is equally heartbreaking. He tried to do the right thing by testifying against his Bad Boss Tobias Whale, but was horribly injured and driven insane by Tobias's vengeance. Humpty is left a super (tactically) intelligent child, who mostly just wants to play games. Unfortunately, his games involve (somewhat justifiably) getting even with the people who either attacked him or failed to protect him, so he ends up drawing the attention of Batman, who naturally tries to help him. It doesn't work. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Beware the Batman / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: While they're still bad guys, Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad have gone from psychotic murderers to well-intentioned eco-terrorists. Normally, Man-Bat is Batman's version of The Lizard; losing his hearing and wanting bat-sonar to compensate, he mad science'd himself and Jekyll & Hyde-ifies between the good Kirk Langstrom and the savage Man-Bat. Occasionally, Man-Bat is portrayed as a hero with Langstrom's mind, but more often he's in thrall to his animal instincts. In this, he's forced to become Man-Bat by Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad, and as Man-Bat he only fights Batman or commits crimes when under their brainwashing. Most of his screentime is as an ally of the heroes, and he becomes a founding member of the Outsiders. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
Beware the Batman / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Pause to read some headlines in the newspaper in "Secrets". One suggests arson on warehouse fires, foreshadowing either Phosphorus Rex or Firefly. Another headline mentions the "rising population" of Arkham Asylum. In "Hunted", the news has "Tobias Whale found innocent of smuggling charges, Lt. Gordon vows justice." In "Attraction", Harvey Dent and Arkham (misspelled as Arkum) are mentioned, and in "Epitaph", Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot is named. It also repeats the first headline, but with Gordon as "commissioner" instead of lieutenant. When Batman turns himself in to Dent in "Animal", pause when Dent bends down to pick up a gun. There is a very clear, but brief, shot of Penguin's wanted poster. | |

The Commissioner Gordon | |
Beware the Batman / int_69bd76fd | comment |
The Commissioner Gordon: Gordon has yet to be established as this, falling in more of an Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist with Batman. He's also still a Lieutenant. After "Allies", he starts playing this trope straight, then in "Nexus", he becomes commissioner after Ra's has the old one killed. | |

Beware the Batman / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Subverted with Humpty Dumpty. At first, it appeared that Humpty himself was standing on the edge of the castle wall, but it was just a statue of Humpty that fell to its "death". Metamorpho tragically attempts this at the end of "Toxic". After being turned down by Sapphire, he smashes the ventilation system in the glass cage he's in and transforms into a gas, causing himself to be sucked out. It doesn't work and he's shown to be still alive at the end. | |

Chess Motifs | |
Beware the Batman / int_6d56cebf | comment |
Chess Motifs: "Tests" uses much of it, and it's even deliberately invoked by Anarky. Alfred and Bruce play Chess early in the episode, Anarky taints the material on the big thug's boot with fragments of a chess flower, and Anarky and Batman fight in a very checkered area. Anarky even compares himself and Batman to the white and black kings (chaos and order). Fittingly, the last shot of the series is Anarky playing with a chess set, with various Gotham characters represented as pieces. The Batman piece checkmates the Anarky piece. Then Anarky resets the board. | |

Deducing the Secret Identity | |
Beware the Batman / int_723943a9 | comment |
Deducing the Secret Identity: The cartoon plays this for drama. Deathstroke figured out that Bruce Wayne is Batman because both had Alfred as a mentor, and they have the same fighting style as a result. The fact that Alfred “replaced� Slade with “a spoilt rich kid� makes the villain angry enough that he decides to kill his “brother� and assume his position, to cement that Alfred was wrong about him. | |

Big Bad Ensemble | |
Beware the Batman / int_72cdfc33 | comment |
Big Bad Ensemble: The creators have described Anarky as Batman's Arch-Enemy and is the main villain of the series, but he shares the spotlight with Ra's Al Ghul, Harvey Dent, and Deathstroke. Ra's and the League of Assassins are prominent in the first half of the series until Ra's is defeated in "Reckoning". Harvey Dent steps up as a Hero Antagonist in "Nexus", but his obsession with capturing Batman quickly devolves into a witch hunt that has Harvey stooping to teaming up with Anarky to capture the caped crusader, which ends in Dent becoming Two-Face. Finally, Deathstroke, a personal figure from Alfred's past, seeks revenge against him via killing and replacing Batman as his successor. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: In "Choices", Killer Croc traps both Batman and Katana in a concrete block, leaving them completely helpless. Does he finish the job while he can? No, he leaves them to be crushed by the coming subway trains (any one of which has a one-in-three chance of killing them), though to his credit he at least sticks around to foil any rescue attempts. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Beware the Batman / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The first few minutes show Batman foiling a robbery, using theatrics to elude the criminal's aim, taunts him by telling him why his other concealed weapons will be ineffective (later claiming to have lied about his chances) but then has his shoulder dislocated by the criminal's partner. Thus we learn that this Batman is fearsome, analytical and also vulnerable. And then he demonstrates how badass he is by simply slamming his shoulder into a truck to pop it back into its socket. Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad's introductions make their Bumbling Henchmen Duo relationship and Eco-Terrorist status very clear. | |

He has also, during his plan in the episode "Nexus", taken on Katana and Batman both to almost a standstill- almost, meaning they do eventually pin them. ...but not before he puts a proximity-activated bomb on each of their wrists, himself included.

Foreshadowing | |
Beware the Batman / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In "Secrets", Magpie pulls a Stealth Hi/Bye on Batman while he's watching a suspect, somehow crossing from an office in one building to the roof of another and getting into her fairly elaborate costume in the few seconds he looks away, which is extreme even by Batman standards. This is a hint that she's not actually the suspect in question. Also in "Secrets", Daedalus Boch & Junkyard Dog, two graffiti taggers that briefly draw Batman's attention reappear in the next episode "Tests" as Anarky's goons. In "Nexus", Harvey Dent brags to Batman about how he can't wait to personally escort him to Blackgate, where the "animals" will tear him apart. Harvey gets his exact wish in the episode titled "Animal". | |

Leitmotif: All of the criminals so far seem to have their own unique song that plays when the scene focuses on them. Batman has a couple of these as well, depending on if he's being dark and mysterious or is doing detective work. | |

Rogues Gallery | |
Beware the Batman / int_a0396574 | comment |
To an extent, some of the villains used share common features with classic villains from Batman's Rogues Gallery: Anarky is similar to the Nolanverse version of The Joker (Card-Carrying Villain who fancies himself as the embodiment of chaos and is Batman's Arch-Enemy). Magpie shares similarities with Catwoman (Femme Fatale who flirts with Batman). | |

Beware the Batman / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: The series focuses on Batman's less widely-known comic book foes, like Magpie and Professor Pyg. Showing just how deeply they've dug into Batman's enemies, in the second episode "Secrets", a character named Lunkhead briefly appears. Lunkhead only appeared in (and was subsequently killed off in) Arkham Asylum: Living Hell. Daedalus Boch and Junkyard Dog, the two street artists hired by Anarky in the next episode, are from the same series (though Daedalus is more commonly known by the supervillain name "Doodlebug"). | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
Beware the Batman / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: Professor Pyg's Blunderbuss is apparently a semiautomatic that can fire multiple times without the need to reload, despite having no visible magazine anywhere on the weapon. The machine guns in the series don't seem to have any signs of a magazine. Probably because Executive Meddling turned them into laser guns. Batman throws at least ten sonic batarangs in the final confrontation with Humpty Dumpty, and throws them with such impunity that it suggests that he has many more. However, averted at least twice. The first time is at the very beginning, when Batman points out to a crook he has only two bullets left. The second is in "Allies", when Gordon says they better start moving before the enemy learns how to count bullets. | |

Tragic Villain | |
Beware the Batman / int_b5171e10 | comment |
Tragic Villain: Most of the villains on the show fall into this, especially if you exclude those affiliated with the League. Magpie's probably the most heart wrenching example, as she started off as a good person with kleptomania, but the treatment they gave her (which she volunteered for in hopes of being cured) ends up shattering her mind, and eventually erases her good persona. Even after that, the Magpie persona is largely sympathetic, as beyond her compulsion to steal she mostly just wants to be loved; it's her complete lack of impulse control and her own emotions that makes her a villain. Even Batman feels sorry for her, and because it's that kind of show his attempt to help her only makes things worse. Metamorpho's another one, as none of what happens to him is his fault and if any of the major players in his life would just treat him with a little kindness everything would be fine. They don't. Humpty Dumpty is yet another one, and is equally heartbreaking. He tried to do the right thing by testifying against his Bad Boss Tobias Whale, but was horribly injured and driven insane by Tobias's vengeance. Humpty is left a super (tactically) intelligent child, who mostly just wants to play games. Unfortunately, his games involve (somewhat justifiably) getting even with the people who either attacked him or failed to protect him, so he ends up drawing the attention of Batman, who naturally tries to help him. It doesn't work. Then there's Lunk Head. He used to be a basic (albeit strong) mook, but a fight with Batman left him comatose and damaged his brain. Nowadays he's a gigantic child who *wants* to be good, but is just a little too stupid and immature to control himself. At one point he's coerced into breaking out of jail (which he initially doesn't want to because he knows he's been bad and belongs there) with the promise of candy. And, once more with feeling, because it's that kind of show he doesn't even get the candy. Instead, he gets betrayed by his only friend and pushed off a ledge. Adding to the list, there's Jason Burr, who starts off as a straight up good guy, and still wants to be one, but suffers from residual effects of Cipher's mind control that force him to betray his friends and try to kill his love interest. In a later episode, we find out that Katana's father, a well-intentioned guy for the most part, was blackmailed into betraying his best friend Alfred, making him one of these. And, again, because it's this show he dies for it. | |

Beware the Batman / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Magpie was interred in the fictional Miskatonic Psychiatric Hospital, named after the Miskatonic University from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos (which is also the inspiration for the name of the better-known Arkham Asylum). Mr. Toad is the one who drives Professor Pyg's car, except he's a better driver than the other Mr. Toad. The Head of Security in "Safe" is named Mr. Reese, also could count as a foreshadowing as Mr. Reese sounds like Mysteries, to which it turns out he's actually Silver Monkey in disguise. Tatsu's motorcycle is a Palette Swap of the one belonging to the first Kamen Rider, complete with way too many exhausts. | |

Lighter and Softer: The series itself isn't any lighter than its predecessors, but its adaptation of certain characters is. Professor Pyg is merely a criminal genius instead of the deranged sadist he is in the comics, for starters. Likewise, several minor characters are taken from Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, and are extremely toned down for television. | |

Everyone Calls Her "Katana": A fan example. As everyone seems to refer to her as Katana (even before she took up the title in the series) rather than her real name Tatsu Yamashiro. Silver Monkey actually calls her Katana in "Safe", so it appears she's used the moniker before. | |

Race Lift | |
Beware the Batman / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: Of sorts. In the comics, the Soultaker Sword was forged by Muramasa in Japan. Here, its origin is unclear, but it appears to be made of jade, implying Chinese origin, the blade is covered in unidentified runes, and a reference book implies that it's been around since ancient Egypt. Marion Grange is changed from being a Caucasian woman to an African American one. | |

Red Herring: In the episode "Secrets", Batman makes a connection between Magpie and psychologist Bethanie Ravencroft. When he goes to investigate as Bruce Wayne under the pretenses of becoming a client, he discovers various items that Magpie has stolen in Ravencroft's desk. Coupled with their similar appearances, one would be lead to believe that Ravencroft was Magpie. It turns out that it's actually Ravencroft's secretary who has multiple personalities. She wears a wig similar to Ravencroft's hair, leading to the similar appearance. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Soultaker Sword is shown to cut through other swords with ease. Particularly absurd because it looks like it's made of jade and is clearly not the least bit sharp. Of course, it is magic. Katana has proven capable of cutting through guns with her sword. | |

Beware the Batman / int_e466ae41 | comment |
Family-Friendly Firearms: Following the Aurora shootings in 2012, the firearms in the series were redesigned to look more futuristic, but the show itself makes it clear that the change is merely cosmetic. Gordon's sidearm clearly fires real bullets when he shoots off Magpie's claws in "Secrets", and the same goes for his subsequent warning shot at Batman. Gordon outright says his shotgun shoots bullets in "Allies". | |

Composite Character | |
Beware the Batman / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Some of the villains borrow traits from Batman's better-known rogues. Professor Pyg and Mister Toad seem to be taking cues from Poison Ivy (crazed eco-terrorist that identifies more with animals than people) and the Mad Hatter (speaking in nursery rhymes and taking inspiration from classic children's literature). Magpie owes a bit to the Batman Returns version of Catwoman. She has a romantic interest in Batman, a Split Personality between a deranged villainess and a meek, friendly girl, and the ability to take an incredible amount of punishment. Plus the razor-sharp fingernails and black leather costume. She also borrows the Mad Love Harley Quinn has for The Joker, but for Batman. Katana seems to have been combined with Sasha Bordeaux, Bruce's former bodyguard, chauffeur, and crime-fighting partner. She also has a red and yellow motorbike (in her civilian life) that looks quite similar to the Robincycle. Anarky takes traits from the Nolanverse version of the Joker (Batman's Arch-Enemy who sees him as a Worthy Opponent and styles himself as an agent of chaos) and the Riddler (egotistical planner who freaks out when his "perfect" plans are thwarted). There's also a bit of influence from Bat-Rogues who style themselves as an Evil Counterpart to Batman.note i.e. villians like Prometheus, Wrath, Killer Moth, and Owlman. Oh, and his costume is reminiscent of Moon Knight and The Spectre. Cypher's appearance resembles that of Nobody/Morgan Ducard. Lunkhead's childlike demeanour and backstory of attempted medical rehabilitation are reminiscent of Amygdala. | |

Beware the Batman / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Word of God states the new design of Alfred is based on "a retired James Bond". He's also quite similar to Paul Moses. To an extent, some of the villains used share common features with classic villains from Batman's Rogues Gallery: Anarky is similar to the Nolanverse version of The Joker (Card-Carrying Villain who fancies himself as the embodiment of chaos and is Batman's Arch-Enemy). Magpie shares similarities with Catwoman (Femme Fatale who flirts with Batman). The virus in "Sacrifice" is clearly TITAN from the Batman: Arkham Series, minus the Body Horror effects. | |

Also, The Key, in the comics, is a guy with ever-changing mental powers based on the 90% of Your Brain fallacy. The key theme exists just 'cause he's a Batman villain and so must have a theme. In this, he's a cyborg (key-things in his hands) with the ability to break into and out of anywhere no matter how good their security is, and he can hack into anything and store the data within him (you get the feeling they wanted to use Cypher but he's too much of a mastermind to allow the plot that results to happen.) | |
