Here's a nice bit of nostalgia for all you "
Batman: The Animated Series" fans out there. Voice actress Tara Strong has revealed that Batgirl will be featured in this Saturday's episode of "Beware the Batman." This would appear to be an indication that despite the fact that Batman is set to work with Katana in the cg animated series, his former sidekicks like Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl also exist and are operating somewhere in the animated world.
Episode Synopsis: Batman is hot on the heels of an extremely clever and dangerous thief named Magpie (GREY DELISLE), who not only sports razor sharp talons laced with poison and an invulnerability to pain, but she also steals the memories of her victims. But Batman is not the only one on her trail. Lieutenant James Gordon (KURTWOOD SMITH) is after her as well…and the two will ultimately go head-to-head to catch that thief.
Katana settles into her role as Bruce Wayne's new butler.
