THE FORGOTTEN BATMAN SERIES 

Me: One second into the video and in the top left it states it is a re-upload. Fair enough. I'll rewatch. RU-vid comments section people: Better point out the obvious multiple times. Vee Infuso: Oh well. The comments all add "interaction" in the metric algorithm so it is pleased.

The idea of a young Batman is a good idea but without most of the big villians it hurts. Also this Alfred looks a lot like Lex Luther from Superman the Animated Series

Honestly I really loved what this show was going for by showcasing often overlooked aspects of this character and his mythos. Little touches like Bruce buying adrenal glands to make his own epinephrine stimulants, the fact he drinks all his meals to compensate for his metabolism, the C list villains we've never seen adapted and the incorporation of his Sherlock Holmes-esque deduction and analytical skills into both combat and every day life were great little touches but it sometimes just didn't go past the collection of "nice little touches" into something that gave it a compelling wow factor

Very underrated Batman series. It introduced plenty of new and different elements to Batman animation, from CGI animation and the focus on the Outsiders to obscure villains and the use of serialized storytelling and tight continuity. I feel it was really growing into something great before it was screwed over by Mattel and Cartoon Network like the other DC cartoons at the time.

3:57 Well...there was that time that Batman made a group called the Outsiders when he broke off from the Justice League briefly and Kitana was in that group

Honestly the first time I heard that this show existed was from a Mc Donalds ad. I got the happymeal toy and looked at Batmans face... ...it terrified me.

DUUUUUDE u did a perfect mark hamill joker impression

I actually loved this show it shined light on lesser villains and the animation was pretty good

Why is everyone built like a wedge

Katana actually did work with Batman in the comics as part of the Outsiders which Batman lead for a time I think the show was setting that team up. I enjoyed the show but sadly never finished it due to how it was treated but it's on HBO Max now so I'll probably watch it all

Vee, I really hope you get better soon. I'm personally exited for your The Batman 2004 review. I grew up with that show, and I'm happy you and Browntable are putting more attention on it.

For what this was I actually really enjoyed back when it aired, especially with the Green Lantern show

I always thought this show deserved another shot and hoped that it would be connected to Green Lantern The Animated series and start a new 3D DCAU. I really don't think the way they tried to do things differently worked out though. I was never into their Alfred or the idea of Katana being his first partner and some of the smaller villains they focused on just felt like discount versions of bigger ones.

bruh im not even subbed on this account but it was in my recommended, cool haha, 4 mins after coming out

Never fully watched this video so the re-upload is completely welcome. I actually knew of this series, I had one of the toys from the line, it's nice to see someone recognizing this show. Btw, I've never watched this show, I've only heard of it from the toy I had from the toy line.

I LOVED Beware the Batman!!! I liked the 3D animation (odd and different but in a good way in my opinion), the way Alfred was portrayed was great, and the less well known villains. But my favorite part in the series was when Bruce and Katana were in that restaurant and he's naming off all the crimes going on at one time (a man cheating on his wife, a cop or judge (it was a few years ago) taking a bribe, etc.) and she asks him "do you ever turn that crime radar off?" And he responds "I don't...I can't..." and I'm not sure I've ever heard a more real line for Bruce Wayne/Batman. Beware the Batman didn't have the chance to hit its stride. Aimed too high too fast. Yes, it was slow, yes, it was probably aimed at children, it shouldn't have been. If this were aimed at teenagers/adults like if it were put on Adult Swim from the get-go, it probably would have found its audience easily. But this is just my opinion, and I respect your opinion on this as well.

This show was so weird. I feel like they could have done something with this. One good and one bad thing this show gave us. The good is Magpie acting like a kleptomaniac was awesome and the bad, is The WORST version of Slade ever.

"Not a member of the Batfamily" While that is true, Katana was an original member of the Outsiders, a team Batman put together. So it's not absolutely out of left field. That being said, if they wanted to use someone other than Robin, they had other choices: Jean-Paul Valley(Azrael), Cassandra Cain(as Batgirl or Black Bat), Stephanie Brown(As Spoiler, or hell, make her the 1st Robin in this continuity), or even Bette Kane(have her be Flamebird, and you can introduce her aunt Kate). I also really dug some of the reinventions to the villains. Professor Pyg obviously had to be changed, but he and Mister Toad are pretty funny. Killer Croc really got to shine as a serious threat. And I'd compare the Magpie episode to Heart of Ice for how well it reinvents a previously stupid villain. Also, Red Foreman as Gordon was a perfect casting choice. Overall, I really enjoyed Beware The Batman and I'm sad we never got a 2nd season to see Two-Face.

Hey I’ve seen this one before Yeah it’s the one where Vee talks about Beware the Batman

I remember this. To me this show looked like an unfinished animatic. Gotham City itself was always empty. There were characters like Anarchy who looked like their gray-scale models. The idea of Katana working with Batman isn't far fetched given she's worked with him on The Outsiders, but like everything in the show, they took away any color to her costume and made her bland. The whole show is empty, one-note, colorless, and bland. Magpie probably was the only design that showed any kind of flavor. I get that they wanted to use Batman's lesser known villains to separate themselves from previous shows, and Alfred and Gordon almost like differently characters, so when the whole style is...bland... you need those familiar faces to draw you in. In this case all you had was Batman himself who was... there.

Isn't this a re-upload?

Do a video on 'Primal'. I really love to hear your thoughts on that.

I like the idea of a Batman series avoiding the major names and spotlighting characters we don't know about, since just about every character is worth something and you don't want to keep bringing the same names out too frequently so they run the risk of becoming stale or "needing" drastic overhauls to their personalities and presentations to differentiate them from other incarnations (you don't need to change them, just don't over-expose them)...Problem is, they didn't do most of these villains much justice; I remember Humpty Dumpty being good, but Deathstroke was very watered-down from how he normally is and Professor Pyg just couldn't even be Professor Pyg (as much as I love him, I think he and Zsasz are two characters who can never effectively be brought into kids media because their crimes can't be simply alluded to or downplayed with toxins the way The Joker can and has been). However, I like a kids show slowing down and taking its story seriously, as the DCAU always took its audience seriously and that paid off wonderfully for it; my own memories of being a kid always appreciated things that took themselves seriously and put emotions besides action into them and imagine that would still work today. While I've had my fill of "early career Batman stories" (I can only see Harvey become Two-Face or Batman meet Commissioner Gordon for the first time so many times and Experienced Batman is the guy with the most room for storylines and mythos anyway), "Beware the Batman" came out at probably the last good time to do that kind of story before it became a dead horse (or at least before said horse started to get beaten, much to my and Beware-Professor Pyg's fury), so that's an interesting enough quirk for the show (especially if it's the only kid-focused show to highlight this time period). I also have to give love to Still-Ready-For-MI-6-Alfred, since we always heard about his action-hero past but never got to see it; a little love for the thankless surrogate dad is nice once in a while. Buuuuut...yeah, the voice acting and animation weren't stellar, I already mentioned some of the villains being knee-capped and I'd be lying if I said I remembered all the twists and turns of the plot. I'd take Beware over a lot of other stories...but there are a lot of other stories I'd take over Beware just the same.

I watched a couple of episodes on tv in my country right after the airing of batman beyond in 2013 while batman beyond needeed a couple of episodes to worm up to the idea of a non batman being batman, this show had cool consepts that lacked execution and was unceremoniously droped before I could care about it...

I remember liking this show, though. I never thought I would like characters like Professor Pig or Humpty-Dumpty but it actually did a respectable job of building them up. This show had an emphasis on detective stories rather than just smooth brain action. Which is probably why Cartoon Network decided halfway though that it should air at 3AM and delayed the final 3 episodes for an entire year. Anyway I think my biggest complaint about it was that it was very stark. Scenes would often be comprised of 4 or less characters, no matter where they were. I actually wonder if the entire series was rendered on a low-spec PC.

Thank god they didn't have Lex Luthor, because I would've mistake him with Alfred! It's pretty average, but I appreciate Deathstroke story!

these videos are dope bruh! keep it up!

I saw an ad for this show, and a reference to it from the Brave & The Bold ending.

I remember this weird show.

The show appeared on cartoon networks dc nation block on Saturdays it was good had its issues but OK I like how it was the first batman show to show the formation of the outsiders team that batman forms in the comics to do missions that the justice league won't do .

Alfred looks way to much like Lex Luther

This series came and went so fast that literally nobody could notice it .

I love Beware the Batman. After all these years, they really could improve on the negatives majorly since they've had time to go over the flaws. C'mon, HBO Max and DC! Please give BtB a second season! It's the best Detective Batman we've had in animation!

Was wondering if Vee was alright because it's been a min since he posted any videos. Glad he's back.

You should do a Telltale Batman video! I'd love to hear your thoughts. I tried searching for one after you mentioned it here and couldn't find one.

Sounds like it was a decent intro to the Batman characters relationships, but mostly boring overall. Another good video Vee. Keep up the good work. Love your channel.

I remember this show as clear as day, back when DC Nation was a thing and Young Justice was airing on CN. I was pissed that they didn't use Batman's more iconic villains, relegating us to a pig that keeps popping up. Even then, I remember the show being boring. I only liked the slice of life moments with Kitana, Alfred and Bruce, and the action.

This show also followed up one of the best DC cartoons, Batman the Brave and the Bold.

I remember seeing this at McDonald’s once as toys and I’ve been trying to hunt it down ever since

First time hearing of this series. Thanks for telling us about it. I was thinking maybe they were planing on showing more of his famous villain's in season 2 but the show got cancelled?

Why does Alfred look like Lex? Last time Lex went broke, JLU was on television or Superman Returns was in theatres.

I remember this series when it aired, I even had a toy of it from McDonald's that I left at my old house.

Alfred is a callback on the original Alfred, who is a spy. Alfred in BTB is an MI-6 agent

The animation here especially on the people reminds me alot of TMNT 2012

The shit was badass asf, glad it got a video. The fact it was taken off is bollocks

Anyone thought Alfred looked like Lex Luthour

I'm actually watching this show now on HBO max it's a great batman show

you and I are on opposite sides Vee. I hated The Batman, and loved Beware the Batman. A standout in the series is Anarchy

I remember this show I just simply never watched it mainly because I wasn't interested and Cartoon Network was as equally apathetic as I was because they never gave the show any good time slots in their schedule.

I actually forgot about this show. I've only seen 1 episode

I also feel bad for the grunts in the Arkham series. Your sentiments on being the bad guy is something I agree with.

I never forgot about that show just disappointed that it ended

Holy shit i forgot that was a thing

I always feel sorry for the bad guys who get beat up and I be like just stay down

This show was playing on tv at 12am around the time I watched it. I'm not kidding

I haven't forgotten about this I still have the batman toy from McDonalds when I was little

That’s just it: Batman’s a disturbed monster on the side of truth, justice, law and order. He doesn’t kill but he victimizes criminals.

That humpty dumpty episode scared me so much when i was a kid.

Reyes really looks his best when he's falling asleep.

I watched it when it was on Saturday mornings and the point of at least the first season was to bring light to lesser known villains cause the movies mainly use his big 4 villains joker riddler penguin and catwoman with some b-list villains thrown in like poison ivy and mr freezes also the series also felt more serial instead or like most Batman cartoons that were episodic and doing that could have hindered some episodes action wise for people who wanted more action and also not much is done of Bruce’s early days of as Batman most do either well established Batman or Bruce becoming Batman but not after becoming Batman but not yet established as Batman

Goddamn. That Mark Hamill Joker impression is amazing.

(Spits out water) THIS IS FROM 2013?!

Even though the show wasn’t the best Batman experience, it does have my favourite version of Metamorpho He’s story was well done for a kids show and if Beware The Batman got a second season, I’d be interested to see what else they could have done with his character

Hey Vee you ever consider doing a review of the Telltale Batman games? They play pretty fast and loose with the canon but i personally think it works pretty well.

Which batman show was the joker from 2:58 from because I don't remember a cgi joker

I loved this show, but I never finished the series. Just the animation was interesting for the time

Ah. But are we just not going to talk about the Green Lantern: Animated series?

Got dvds of this got $1.

YES!!! I was wating for somebody to talk about this show for a long time!!!

Why does two face like hush WHY!

I remember watching 1 episode of this show on toonami. That’s it.

This was a good show, however it shouldn't have been put on Toonami. It should have stayed on the main Cartoon Network block and came on after Green Lantern on Saturday morning.

This feels like a series that could have really come into its own if it was given the chance it’s a shame it got cancelled I really would have liked to see how this would go

Yoo, I’m one of the early ones for once. Vee Infuso if you are reading this, I hope you have an amazing day and I can’t wait for more videos to come.

I remember watching this video.

This animation perfectly blends in batmans intelligence and physicality(also justice league doom) even movies cant do that in movies batman is seen as brute who beates shit out of criminal but not his detective and strategist aspect

Alfred should be the one out there fighting

I like the idea of showing off Katana as part of the batman family I don't know much about the character but she seems like she would fit. Also showing off the lesser known batman villains was a good idea too. This was the first time I ever knew about Professor Pyg until Arkham Knight. Had a lot of good ideas, I wish they remade it and improved the quality.

Yo Vee do a video on who the best James Bond is!

Alfred looks like lex luthor lol

I love this series and I watched it a lot as a kid. I was kinda upset when it ended, I want there to be a second season of the show. I haven’t watched it in years so maybe I should watch it again.

i totally forgot about this show. as soon as I saw the artsyle my memories came back I watched one or two episodes of this show and hated it. mostly for the animation it just looked weird

I watched it when it aired originally and thought ....huh magpie is kind hot. Otherwise, who are these s-lost villains. Also the poster for this show had Alfred shooting guns and it got a lot of flak for it.

did he seriously re-upload this video

as someone who grew up with this show, loved green lantern the animated series which had a similar art style, had never seen batman the animated series, batman the brave and the bold (outside the wonderwoman and hal jordan episodes), or the batman, and actually really likes buff alfred. i still fucking forgot this show existed for 6 years

Ummm...wasn't Katana part of the Outsiders, who were mentored by Batman? Also, it's okay to not have the Joker early on in a Batman show so to establish other rogues that are in his gallery.

I watched,it was okay. It was during the time when green lantern had a show. I just remember batman recruiting Katana for when he formed the outsiders.

man the CGI dc animated shows got done dirty. they lead with the spectacular green lantern show then follow it up with this, then never did 3d ever again

I honestly liked The Batman better, it was well animated, was more memorable, and also had most of Batman's iconic rogues gallery Seriously the only thing I remember about this show is it used some pretty obscure DC villains such as Humpy Dumpty, Anatchy etc. and that's pretty much it.

I saw an episode but never saw it again for years

I thought of the Alfred in this show as Jason Statham. Liked the idea of a badass MI6 Alfred.

I've seen this show multiple times. I'm doing a re-watch on HBO Max right now.

I need it back

3:01 what is this from?

I had the beware the Batman series disks I liked it too I watched the whole series and thought it was a movie

I remembered this series.

I remember this show came after young Justice and Green Lantern were canceled this and teen titans Go were the replacements

I didn't forget it. I've watched it. I've watched every animated Batman series from beginning to end.

I knew about this show i forgot about it though so ur title fit for me

I remember this show. Got better after they decided to cancel it. Guess the studio notes stopped after that.
