This take on the classic comic book franchise mixes familiar characters with new villains not previously seen in animated form. As usual, Batman tries to rid Gotham City of evil, but he's not doing it alone. Assisting the Caped Crusader are retired MI-6 operative Alfred Pennyworth, who also serves as the superhero's butler, and lethal swordswoman Tatsu "Katana" Yamashiro. Among the villains who lead Gotham City's criminal underworld that Batman and his crew battle are Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.

Maricela Gonzalez Entertainment Weekly I admit Beware the Batman isn't as bad as I thought it might be. In fact, it's pretty fun. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News "Beware the Batman" shuffles the personnel deck, then, while signaling it may tackle some serious issues ahead- though not in such a heavy-handed manner that Batman can't reclaim his Saturday morning TV turf. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety The writing is crisp and even above-their-heads literate. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Dave Trumbore Collider Though the creators of this show wanted to give it a darker and more serious tone...perhaps they took things a little too far. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Matt Grazel What Culture While remaining faithful to the core of the character, Beware The Batman offers plenty of fresh elements that benefit the new animated series. Rated: 4/5 Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Mike Cecchini Den of Geek Beware the Batman is briskly paced and hard-hitting. It looks great. Rated: 4/5 Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
