Beware The Batman's New CG-Animated Show

Batman is probably one of the most iconic characters DC has to offer, considering he's had a handful of cartoons, and another one won't hurt anybody.

Warner Bros. Animation announced this weekend at the MIP Junior Conference in Cannes, France that a new CG-animated series featuring the Dark Knight will be coming out in 2012 on Cartoon Network. The new show will be titled Beware the Batman in which his sidekicks will be a gun wielding Alfred Pennyworth and Katana.

The new series is to focus on showing older and not more well known villains, such as Professor Pyg shown in the picture above.

“We went in deeper into the villain library and pulled out some other villains,” says Sam Register, executive vice president for creative affairs at Warner bros. Animation. “We didn’t want to do another Joker story — there’s too many of them. We just needed to do something new, so we’re starting off with new villains.”

It was also announced that there will be short animations featuring other DC characters, such as Plastic Man, Doom Patrol, Batgirl, Supergirl and Wonder Girl.

Captain Planet On The Big Screen

Cartoon Network, Transformers and Captain Planet are all related in a planned upcoming movie. Cartoon Network is teaming up with Transformers producer, Don Murphy, to make a Captain Planet movie.

Captain Planet, the green-haired environmentalist, was created by Ted Turner - who also owns Cartoon Network - and will be revived under his watch. Stuart Sydney, president of Turner Broadcasting System has this to say about the reviving hero:

“The messages of Captain Planet are even more relevant today.We feel this team can bring the world’s first eco-hero to life in a powerful motion picture that is not only pertinent but entertaining.”

Will a Captain Planet movie even be good? I just can't even picture a live action version at all; I guess I won't judge until we see some screenshots or trailers at least. If you don't know who Captain Planet is, then you either hate trees or you just weren't around for his heroism. Here's a video for you so you'll know, or for others to remember.
