A Major Villain From The Batman Universe Will Appear On BEWARE THE BATMAN

Despite Beware The Batman producers saying that the upcoming Cartoon Network series will focus on unknown villains to the public, we now have news that a major villain from the Batman universe will appear on the show. If it isn't Joker, Penguin or Riddler, then who is it? Hit the jump to find out...

Early today, Paul Romano posted promo images to the upcoming animated series, Beware The Batman. There was one thing about the images that I was curious about. In Katana's bio, it said that she was a former member of the League of Assassins. A couple months ago, it was said that the show would focus more on lesser known villains and wouldn't include Joker, Penguin, or Riddler yet. We know some of the villains on the show are Professor Pyg, Mr. Toad, Anarky, and Metamorpho. After doing some research, I have found that a major Batman villain will appear on the show. Ra's al Ghul. In an interview with Attack of the Show 3 and a half months ago, Fringe actor Lance Reddick confirmed he will voice Ra's in Beware The Batman. To see the part where he confirms he is voicing Ra's, skip to 7:11

Despite the show taking a different approach to the Batman universe, does Ra's al Ghul's appearance give you a little confidence in the show? Comment below.

Please don't be the joker, he's so over rated.

webheaded - 11/5/2012, 1:26 PM

Lame show. Who cares...

GoILL - 11/5/2012, 1:30 PM

Good find LEVI, i'll watch this at least once to see if it is any good.

GothamsViper - 11/5/2012, 1:35 PM

Oh Hellyeah Ra's Al Ghul!!

toco89 - 11/5/2012, 1:36 PM

@luffy

The Joker IS villany, can't be over or underrated.

But is Ra's gonna be black in the show, or is he just doing the voice?

thatdylhooper - 11/5/2012, 1:38 PM

THIS IS GONNA BE DOOOOOPE.. AN ITS PROLLY LUTHOR

Battabing - 11/5/2012, 1:50 PM

Well, duh.
Why wouldn't you expect a Ra's/League of Assassins connection?

BlueDemon - 11/5/2012, 1:53 PM

Hopefully CN shows us more than 3 episodes a year cause they're butchering Green Lantern and Young Justice.

luffycapri - 11/5/2012, 1:55 PM

Malcop...... No he's not, just some clown with a good writer that's all man.

Ceejay - 11/5/2012, 1:55 PM

Anything but super-powered idiots in bright costumes.

itzayaboy - 11/5/2012, 2:04 PM

Guys the Joker, Riddler will appear, it will be only a matter of time.

Greengo - 11/5/2012, 2:06 PM

dezdigi - 11/5/2012, 2:07 PM

I have no faith in the CN.

StrangerX - 11/5/2012, 2:13 PM

UMMMMM..ok

Deadpool17 - 11/5/2012, 2:22 PM

I'm hoping for Red Hood to appear at some point.

JatevinM - 11/5/2012, 2:40 PM

You guys do realize they said they weren't featuring the main villains YET

MJPETTY7 - 11/5/2012, 2:40 PM

Perfect casting for Ra's. Hope they pronounce his name right, like in Batman: TAS/Beyond...

I'm sure Joker will show up eventually. Joker wasn't on Brave and The Bold for a while, so I'm sure it'll be a bit before he's on this. Same with Sinestro being on GLTAS.

IwasGroot - 11/5/2012, 2:48 PM

I haven't heard anything interesting about this show before, and still haven't. This is a stupid idea.

Moakynubs - 11/5/2012, 3:29 PM

Is this news? "Batman villain to show up in Batman cartoon, story of the century!"

avengersleagueofjusticeforamerica - 11/5/2012, 3:29 PM

Burn....

NightForce - 11/5/2012, 3:49 PM

@Ceejay
Really man? You come off as such a pretentious dick. And that's being nice. Can you PLEASE tell me why you come to this site? If not for the "superpowred idiots in bright costumes".

Wildaniel - 11/5/2012, 4:04 PM

I dont know about this show, I love Batman but the main villains in this show is a Pig and a Frog, lol.

SmellofDuty - 11/5/2012, 4:18 PM

@Luffy You are the definition of retard. The Joker is the greatest villian of ALL TIME.

PerfectAss - 11/5/2012, 4:34 PM

I thought it would be bane

XavierLehnsherr - 11/5/2012, 4:42 PM

Same here, Danny.

luffycapri - 11/5/2012, 5:46 PM

Retard, every has a opinion you know.

staypuffed - 11/5/2012, 9:25 PM

I'm pretty interested in this, could be quite awesome. Glad there's at least ONE well-known villain announced at this point. Also, I argee with @Deadpool 17, Red Hood in the show would be awesome.

brokeBatman - 11/6/2012, 7:32 AM

He's a pretty good actor with a good vilain voice I guess. Cool, cant wait to see if this is good or whatevs like some animated toons. Green lantern is pretty dope, so I'm hoping.

JohnnyKrypton - 11/6/2012, 8:38 AM

It's not just the villains that are unrecognizable. Pass.

comicle199 - 11/6/2012, 12:37 PM

i really think this could suck more than ultimate spiderman

PeterParker1991 - 11/6/2012, 4:01 PM

Not too thrilled about this show. Prefer the Animated series or The Batman
