batman-unlimited-101120.jpg

At this week's Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. have apparently spilled the beans on what seems to be the next Batman animated series following the cancellation of Beware the Batman on Cartoon Network.

The image above, taken by a fan and posted to Reddit, features a new-look Batman sporting a logo close to the one that appears on a number of Mattel's toy packages at big-box retailers (the title, Batman Unlimited, is also the name of a toy line sold at Target stores, although featuring a very different logo).

Licensing Expo is a place where this poster would be at home even if it isn't an animated series but a new toy line -- but fans have been expecting a new Batman series since the end of Beware was announced.

Obviously, DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network have had some luck with the "Unlimited" suffix, which was tacked onto Justice League in one of their most popular animated series.

Why can't we have a real life batman again? If superman pulled it, green arrow as well... c'mon DC!

 

We don't need no Batman teen CW drama, just no.

LOL I don't think a teen drama could be made out of batman :laugh: ! Though I think once Gotham ends in who knows how many years, it will lead up to a batman series somehow? (fingers crossed)

huh?

 

i've read this sentence many times, now maybe I'm too drunk, but I can't make sense of it...

I want a NEW batman series? (non animated)

I just don't know what the fascination with the chin on the mask is. They've also added it to the suit that Batman uses in the animated films. I just don't like it at all :/

Well, from a combat perspective, I guess it guards from jabs and punches?

Yeah but why add it in if it's not live-action etc? :p The comic book/original version doesn't even have it.

Maybe some sort of royalty issues? eg. they can't use the costume as exactly portrayed in the comics so as to not to tarnish the image?  Doesn't the cowl look blue?

Would be odd if that was the case. The newly animated Arkham film doesn't have the added chin. I think it's because they just want to try something new with the suit. The cowl in the comics is black though.

I wouldn't count on that :p Batman never had a suit similar to this in any of the Batman Beyond books.

Of course, another possibility is that this is not a television series at all. The stylized Bat-symbol is one Mattel has been utilizing on its Batman packaging for some time now, along with releasing a line of action figures under the "Batman Unlimited" label, albeit with a logo based on the one currently used by DC Comics' "Batman" series. With that in mind, it's conceivable that this is an overall brand expansion for the character rather than a new foray into animation.

How is he more suited for TV? If anything, he's way more violent than Batman. Also, Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond weren't suited for tv? :p

I rather have a new version of the old animated series with Kevin Conroy doing Batman again.

Now that would be awesome! Looking forward to hearing him in Arkham Knight, he sounded pretty badass in the trailers.

no big budget effects, just a guy with guns killing guys, lots of opportunities for big arcs and lots of one time stories.

 

And lots of violence never stopped anyone, heck I prefer his permanent solutions to batmans sissy ways.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
