According to the World's Finest blog, Anthony Ruivivar will provide the voice of Batman, the main character of Warner Bros. Animation's upcoming CGI-based animated series, Beware the Batman. The actor is perhaps best known for his role in the TV series Third Watch, although he also has had supporting roles in movies such as Tropic Thunder and The Adjustment Bureau. Also included in the cast are Sumalee Montano (Transformers: Prime) as Batman's new crime-fighting sidekick, Katana, and J. B. Blanc (The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Marvel Anime series) as Batman's gun-wielding butler, Alfred. The three will join Kurtwood Smith (RoboCop, Green Lantern: First Flight), who has previously been confirmed as providing the voice of Lt. James Gordon.

Nobody wonders why Alfred use guns with Batman in front of him?

Nobody?... Guns?... I mean, we're talking about that guy who hates guns... You know... Guns... Hello?...

Well, Alfred has been permitted by Batman to use guns. He is pretty much defenseless. Plus, Alfred has experienced training with them.

1. I cannot wait for this show and I hope it's in the same continuity as Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

2. I don't like that Alfred has guns. If he has rubber bullets or doesn't shoot to kill, that helps.

3. I like that they're going with more unknown villains, I do respect that, but I want some Joker, Bane, and Two-Face.

4. I do hope Superman gets a new series too now that Bats and GL have one, hopefully in the same continuity as well (to start a new Justice League series...).

5. I know that there's a lot of hate for this animation (and I also prefer the Young Justice animation, also a great show by the way!), but as long as the story and characters are good (like they are in GL: TAS), then it doesn't matter as much to me.

WTF...so no Robin, Batgirl or Nightwig? A no name guy for Batman (SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN KEVIN CONROY!!!!) and Alfred is now apparently a member of the NRA?! Geez why just say, "hey we don't gie two hoots aout Bob Kane's legacy and let's 'F-up" Batman in any way we can. Aside from Chris Nolan's movies and the comic team of synder/capulo WB and DC are in need of a kick to the balls to get Batman right. Personally here is what I feel they should have done for a new cartoon. Again, just my opinion.....Characters as fllows
Batman/Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy Or Steve Blum)
Nightwing/DickGrayson (Micheal Weatherly or Neil Patrick Harris)
Robin/Damien Wayne (Haley Joel Osment)
Red Robin/Tim Drake (Garrett Hedlund)
Batgirl/Barbara Gordon (Alice Eve)
Jim Gordon (Mark Harrmon or Sam Elliot)
Harvey Bullock (Bruce Campbell)
Now as for the art design I would go with the style used on the "Batman Gotham Knight" DVD/Deadshot chapter. It's a slick and stylish yet dark type of anime, perfect for Batman.....again, this is all just an opinion of mine.

look, i have an unhealthy obsession with Batman but when is DC gonna realize they have so much more than the Bat?

I'd love a Wonder Woman cartoon, so would my niece.

I'd love a Flash cartoon detailing the legacy of said hero.

A buddy cartoon with Blue and Booster could be suitable for kids.

A Question cartoon done in a similar way to B:TAS. Point, is, there's so many other heroes.

Hell, even a Suicide Squad cartoon would be fantastic!

I wasn't speaking in hyperbole either - this is voice actor/film-actor #20.

Need a change of scenery!

(yeah, Suicide Squad was changed to "Taskforce X" in JL)

the look of this show looks familiar to the Green Lantern show.. maybe they can have a crossover with the justice league in future shows

Where'd you get the idea for Michael Weatherly as Nightwing? I used him in my fancast adaptation of "The Last Days of Animal Man".

It seems to me that this is going to be like Star-Wars: The Clone Wars. Star-Wars: The Clone Wars was a CGI reboot of a 2D animated series titled Star-Wars: Clone Wars (even the characters looked almost exactly the same, only in CGI). This seems to be the same thing, only rebooting The Batman (a 2D Batman series that used to appear on Cartoon Network). This is, after all, titled Beware THE Batman, so like The Batman, it kept the The.

Is Batmans secret identity safe? Can't be many guys running around with a head shaped like that! Lol

Love the Green Lantern show and I've never liked Hal Jordan as a character.

Kevin Conroy as Batman would have at least gave me some small comfort or desire to see this.
