Clip of Batman Bringing Down the House, Literally (Year One)

On the one hand, its frustrating that DC keeps churning out Batman shows when their library of heroes runs so deep... on the other hand, how can anyone complain when the projects looks so amazing. Batman Year One looks like a keeper. And after all, DC does stand for Detective Comics.

Some scientist made an explosive so powerful that he wanted Superman to fly to the moon and drink it to test it. Unfortunately, it made him breathe fire. So Superman went to Mercury for a while to hang with the locals. He ended up powering a fire-powered CPR machine and then realized he'd used up his flame so he went home.

First Look at Beware the Batman and DC Nation

Here is the first look at promotional art for the 2013 CGI Batman series, Beware the Batman, presented during a presentation at the MIP Junior conference (embedded below). Along with Bat is the "heat-packing" Alfred, Katana, Prof Pyg, and the Toad. But wait, there's more!

UPDATE: Some brief clips are posted on Facebook.

Not to be confused with the tiny titan, Captain Atom first appeared in 1960's Space Adventures #33. Although currently a mainstay of the DC Universe, even getting his own book as part of the 52 book relaunch this past September, Captain Atom was originally a Charlton Comics creation (who incidentally was the inspiration for everyone's favorite naked blue guy, The Watchmen's own Dr. Manhattan)

Brainiac shrank and bottled the city of Metropolis. Dun, DUN, DUNNNNNNNNN!

Early news regarding Cartoon Networks DC Nation programming block are out and one of the highlights is the announcement of a CGI Batman series titled Beware the Batman to hit airwaves in 2013. So, the first details of the series are a tad worrisome. Apparently, Batman will team with a "gun-toting" Alfred and female ninja sidekick Katana. On the bright side, new villains including Professor Pyg have been promised along with old favorites.
