While initially met with mixed reactions from fans and critics, Beware the Batman ultimately found its footing and grew into a show with a massive amount of potential. Which is where the great tragedy of this DVD collection lies. Collecting 13 episodes of the series – two of which never aired on Cartoon Network – the recently-released set is not only incomplete, ending on a massive cliffhanger, but it also shows the growing pains and eventual triumph of a show that has so much to offer.
The first few episodes of the series are a bit bland, particularly when compared to the last twenty years of consistently amazing Batman animation. The CGI is stilted and sterile at times, and it gives the impression that Gotham City is the least populated metropolis in history. Where the animation does succeed, however, is in action sequences. The fluidity of combat is amazing to watch, it’s just that when things slow down for character development, the characters suddenly become mannequins.
