Beware the Batman

Beware the Batman, the first computer-animated Batman series, made its debut on Cartoon Network in 2013, as part of the short lived DC Nation block. While this iteration goes back to Batman's early years as a crimefighter, this show introduces more contemporary villains as well as an overarching story.

After airing eleven episodes, the show was put on hiatus and resurfaced on Adult Swim's Toonami block the following year. However, the series would end due to being part of a tax write-off. Toonami, a late night programming block, aired its remaining episodes on the night of September 27, 2014.

Control (Episode 9)
The League of Assassins, after failing to kidnap inventor Dr. Jason Burr, task Cypher to probe his mind instead. He first controls the architect of the Wayne Enterprise building to access Jason's office. Batman becomes aware of his antics when the police find him walking on the freeway.

Fall (Episode 13)
When Dr. Burr's invention, the Ion Cortex, is complete, Bruce Wayne invites Alfred and Tatsu to a demonstration. However, they find Dr. Burr's office tarnished. A monitor then plays a message of Jason giving the Ion Cortex to the League of Assassins himself; the office detonates not long after. When Batman and Katana find Jason, they find out his mind was still tampered by Cypher. Katana does what worked before and turns Jason back to normal.

Reckoning (Episode 15)
To slow Batman down, Ra's al Ghul releases supervillains from prison, offering them a piece of Gotham City if one of them defeats Batman. On the way to Ra's, Batman is intercepted by his rogue's gallery. Even Cypher makes an appearance by briefly taking control of Phosphorus Rex and Magpie.
