Being the only Batman series set in CGI and having a much darker tone, Beware the Batman sticks out among the post-Batman Beyond series which were both more lighthearted and in traditional animation. The mystery to me is why this only ran for one season of 26 episodes, because this was the best of the bunch.
The series presents some different takes on well known characters like Alfred and Barbera Gordon, and while some Batman purists may find that objectionable I thought it added another layer to Alfred especially, because while he is enjoyable as Bruce's butler he shines as an interesting character here with a pretty wild past.
And we see villains here I don't think have been in any other Batman series, like the chaos loving Anarky who got under my skin several times, because while the Joker has a certain morbid humour to his character Anarky was a madman all the way through with an overly creepy voice performance by Wallace Langham.
Aside from him we have a few other new characters I've not seen like Magpie, Professor Pyg and Toad and a few from the more known rogues gallery like Killer Croc, Ra's Al Ghoul, and almost Two-Face who I guess we could have seen if the show wasn't cancelled like som many good shows are, ending on a cliffhanger.
Check it out, it's a good show that needs more attention.
