Check out the new poster for the upcoming CGI Batman animated series, Beware the Batman, which is slated to air sometime in the next year.

We reported on Beware the Batman last fall when it was revealed that this all new take on the Batman mythos would feature a gun-toting Alfred and a female ninja sidekick. As part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation animation Block, Beware will feature many well-known Batman villains as well as never-before-animated, lesser known enemies. Check out the official description below.

Beware the Batman: A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman's core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form. Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City's criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a "Batman show." Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans. With WBA's Sam Register executive producing, and Batman Beyond's Glen Murakami and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated's Mitch Watson producing, Beware the Batman, based on characters from DC Comics, is coming soon to Cartoon Network!
