Missing your Batman toon fix since the camp fun of Batman : Brave and the Bold ended this year on Cartoon internet ? All is well — mind the Batman will become a part of the DC Nation block in 2013 .
During San Diego Comic - Con we speak with series producers Mitch Watson ( Freakazoid ) and Glen Murakami ( Batman : TAS , Batman Beyond ) about their new take on DC lore for the CG - quicken mind the Batman .
Beware the Batman aims to be a considerable divergence from the old cartoon personification of Batman , the comedic Batman : Brave and the Bold . The serial publication will dive back into Batman ’s amusing book bloodline , emphasize Batman ’s mental acquisition and preparation as a police detective .

And the series will not feature any of the mainstream Batman villains – no stalwart like the Joker or the Riddler will appear . Instead , Jehovah Mitch Watson and Glen Murakami are delving into the the risible ledger to find novel baddie for the DC Nation show .
Anarky and Magpie are scheduled to be cardinal figures in the serial publication , while the female eccentric Katana ( from the Outsiders ) will be something consanguine to Batman ’s sidekick . At the moment , it appears as if Robin will not be in the serial .
A data processor engender Gotham City
Beware will be the first computer bring forth Batman series . The creator are not shooting for a photo - realistic rendering of Gotham City , akin to what you see in the cut scenes of Batman : Arkham City , but a stylised version CG variation .
Glen Murakami and company built a computer generated version of Gotham from the flat coat up , salute its own cathartic and lighting challenges . The workplace pay off – the series creators now have the freedom to cut down a practical camera from the sky and follow it through a fully build Gotham City and its underground arrangement .
Batman ’s utility program belt presented challenges as well , with Murakami creating a cardboard mockup of the belt and walking around the studio apartment to make certain the physics worked .
The showrunners are aiming for a realistic more detailed oriented feel than the current Green Lantern series , in respect to both graphics and story . Unlike the nigh - unbeatable Green Lanterns , Batman will get smart and drum up a lot , and the serial publication will deal with the moment .
All raw villains
The stories will not rotate around lilliputian criminal offence like robbing a bank or jewelry entrepot , but rather a psychological chess plot against criminal masterminds . Anarky , a child prognostic mockingly inspire by Little Phoebe for Vendetta , will be the principal baddie in the serial . Prior to the show , Anarky has been on the outskirts of the “ Bat Family ” since his introduction in a 1989 issue of Detective Comics .
Anarky will be the Moriarty to Batman ’s Sherlock Holmes , indirectly harassing Batman throughout the series . Pyg and Toad from the Grant Morrison / Frank Quitely Batman and Robin serial will be a villainous couple in Beware the Batman , but their homicidal orientation will be toned down .
Murakami pointed out that the designers are judge to take the comic Holy Writ background signal and visuals for the newer baddie and distil them down into a unique and accessible strain .
Murakami did a exchangeable caper with Two Face on Batman : The Animated Series . His crowd of animators created the split blackened and white imaging for the classic fibre – a design fans initially resist , but one that is now universally cover .
