Beware the Batman is an American computer-animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. The series premiered in the United States on Cartoon Network on July 13, 2013, as part of their DC Nation block. It is the replacement for Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Beware the Batman is produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
On September 22, 2014, Toonami announced it was concluding broadcast of Beware the Batman, and aired a marathon of the remaining seven episodes on September 28.
In the series premiere, eco-terrorists Professor Pyg and Mister Toad are hunting Gotham City's resident billionaires (Simon Stagg and Michael Holt) to make them pay for their crimes against nature. And since Bruce Wayne is on their list, Batman has to solve this case fast! But when Bruce's butler Alfred is kidnapped in Bruce's place, Batman must save him. Meanwhile, Alfred hires a new bodyguard for Wayne: the beautiful and deadly Tatsu Yamashiro.
Batman is hot on the heels of an extremely dangerous thief named Magpie, who not only sports razor sharp fingernails laced with poison but is also invulnerable to pain. But Batman is not the only one after her. Lieutenant James Gordon is after her as well. And the two will ultimately go head-to-head to catch her.
