While meeting with the press and talking about ‘Dead Poets Society’ (it hits Blu-ray this week), Movieweb got a question in about the status of the upcoming new Batman cartoon, ‘Beware the Batman’. Kurtwood Smith will be voicing the character Lieutenant Gordon.
“We just started. We’ve only recorded two, before Christmas. I like the general thrust of the show. It’s early in the Batman story. Commissioner Gordon isn’t even Commissioner yet, he’s just Lieutenant Gordon. He doesn’t trust Batman, even though they kind of end up helping each other out on an early case. Batman, in a lot of ways, is learning his way, and the relationship between he and Alfred is developing. It’s fun and it’s kind of straight in that regard, as opposed to being campy. I think it’s going to be good, but it won’t be out for at least a year or so.”
The series is described as – Crime-fighting vigilante Batman teams up with new sidekick Katana and his gun-toting butler, Alfred Pennyworth to defeat crime in Gotham City, such as the evil Professor Pyg.
