Well, it looks like Batman doesn't always win... at least not when it comes to television. The last episode of Beware the Batman was abruptly pulled and so began speculation over what that meant. There's no way Cartoon Network could already be cancelling another DC property, right? Thankfully, the voice of Batman, Anthony Ruivivar, took to Twitter to assure fans that the show isn't dead like Batman's parents. Instead, it's on hiatus until January, 2014.
Additionally, Beware the Batman isn't on Cartoon Network's official schedule for this Saturday.
This does come at a really odd time since BEWARE THE BATMAN #1 comes out this Wednesday (we'll likely have a review) and the show had a variety of toys released over at McDonald's. We even spotted a rather awesome action figure based on this animated version of the Dark Knight at a retailer last week, too. We're reaching out to our contact to see if we can find out why the show was yanked and we'll update you if/when a statement becomes available. Batman, however, did provide Comic Vine with his response.
Disappointing news, sure, but on the flip side, at least we know the show wasn't swiftly cancelled.
