Synopsis

Introducing the prototype of his newest product to the entire world ? the Ion Cortex, a powerful device capable of solving the world's energy crisis ? Bruce Wayne hires brilliant scientist Dr. Jason Burr to work on the project. The announcement also draws the attention of one of the most dangerous groups in the world ? the League of Assassins. When one of the League's agents, Silver Monkey, attacks Wayne Manor to kidnap Dr. Burr while Batman is in Gotham, it is up to Alfred and Katana to keep the assassin at bay until Batman's return. But Katana is armed and ready for the task with the legendary Soultaker Sword (a sacred weapon she stole from the League of Assassins back when she used to work for them).

Production notes

A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman's core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form. Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City's criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a "Batman show." Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans.
