Beware The Batman... t'hell is this?

Seriously man, i don't like being that guy that is always going "The old ones were bettah!" But... really, way to make the Batman sound like the freaking Punisher.

It's just a teaser, i Know... but teasers matter when making first impressions!

...wait...

Quote:

Crime-fighting vigilante Batman teams up with swordtress Katana and his gun-toting ex-secret agent butler Alfred Pennyworth to face the criminal underworld led by Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad, King Kraken, and Magpie.

What? Dafuq is this!?

Yeah, sure... give the non-Lethal warrior 2 lethal sidekicks that can't kill because this is a kid's show... instead of pairing him up with the... oh i dunno.... 7 or 8 actual non-lethal sidekicks the man has had over the years?

Also... Alfred with a gun? REALLY? Bruce wayne should be super comforted to see his Buttler fighting alongside him just like the guy that killed his parents...

Why is Alfrend young looking? Why is Batman fighting Farm Animal Themed villains? What's up with the Katana Girl!? For fuck sakes is Weilding a Katana some sort of Racial trait? Does she have to be Asian to use a sort? What was her alternative Weapon during pre-production? A Bo Staff? Oh no no no... that's been done before by Robin... nice.

Guh, this annoys me to some seriously deep degrees... It seems that once again, DC only knows how to handle their IP's 2 out of 10 times or something like this when not on Comic Book form.

In all honesty that would be kinda awesome.

Alfred's a grown-ass man. Bruce would know better than to say shit to him about using a gun seeing as how Alfred used to be a soldier and all. Katana's an established character as are the villains that have been mentioned.

I think that may be the worst looking animated Batman I've ever seen. Either it is the worst, or I've been spared in some way.

Also does Professor Pyg remind anyone else of the evil Doctor Porkchop? Oh...and I just realized that's a mask. Seriously? He wasn't mutated in some campy experiment gone wrong? He chose that look?! Of course I'm sure these are all pre-established villains and I'm just winding myself up for embarrassment.

I knew about Magpie, though.

I now know my life's mission. To meet John Ratzenberger and ask him to do a reading of this scene.

I know Katana is an established character. And I know that these guys are in the comics.

...but they're just not Batman. Katana's a real character, but she's not Batman's sidekick. These guys are villains, but they're not in Bat's rogues gallery (usually).

Even if they are Canon, Which i know they are... this is stupid.

Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuupid.

Alfred doesn't even conceal his identity! At least not in that poster...

And having Batman solving problems constantly to the side of 2 people trained and comfortable using Deadly Weapons just gonna make them look incapable (cause they can't kill anybody) or Batman looking like the Bard in a Group of 4 Warriors, he can be useful and even awesome from time to time, but you just know that's stupid.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that it's dumb.

These characters would work as occasional sidekicks, like The Brave and the Bold or Justice league, where Batman paired up with different people with different skillsets and complemented that with being Batman. Having him fixed with B Grade sidekicks and trying to build a show on that is just a lazy premise for sloppy work.

All I know is that Batman's head in that poster looks like it belongs in a medical textbook on anencephaly (Warning: Article pictures are pretty gross). Not exactly a good start to character design.
