Well, Beware the Batman may no longer be airing during the daytime, with the remaining episodes being burned off in the final hour of the Toonami block – at 3am on Sundays, but that didn’t stop it from earning a Daytime Emmy nomination.
Yes, Beware the Batman was nominated for Outstanding Children’s Animated Program, specifically for its second episode, “Secrets.” The episode introduced the villain Magpie, and aired in July as part of the now seemingly defunct DC Nation block. The block was designed to showcase two DC Comics-based shows in an hour, with original shorts showing in-between, often serialized. Currently, Cartoon Network only airs Teen Titans Go! from DC Entertainment, and has no new DC Comics-based shows on the schedule for 2014-2015.
The animated series, featuring a younger Batman (more in-line with the New 52 younger Batman in the comics), plus a more physical and intense Alfred and Katana as a sidekick in lieu of another Bat or a Robin, aired eleven episodes between mid-July and the first week of October. It was then pulled off the air with no comment or statement from Warner Bros Animation, DC Entertainment, or Cartoon Network – literally one week after toys supporting the show had been in McDonald’s Happy Meals.
