It was recently revealed that
Beware The Batman would return from it's lengthy hiatus, this time on Toonami rather than DC Nation. It was confirmed that all 26 episodes of the first season will air, including the unreleased episodes. Well, now descriptions for all of the remaining episodes have made their way onto the internet. For the full descriptions, click here (or on the SOURCE link):

Here are the highlights:
-
In the episode titled "Attraction," a Gotham City news broadcast plays. There is scrolling text at the bottom of the screen that reveals that the spelling of Arkham Asylum has been changed to 'Arkum Asylum.' There is a possibility that this is a mistake, however. This episode is available on the home video release, "Beware The Batman-Season 1 Part 1: Shadows Of Gotham."
-
In the episode "Fall," the League Of Assassins finally get a hold of the Ion Cortex, Jason Burr's possible future as Kobra is foreshadowed, and Ra's Al Ghul and Batman fight for the first time. To say the least, Batman get's his cape handed to him in this fight. This episode is also available on the "Beware The Batman-Season 1 Part 1" home video release.
-
Ra's Al Ghul is voiced by Lance Reddick. He is finally portrayed with a Middle Eastern accent. For those who don't know, the character is Arabic in the comics.
-
Silver Monkey is alive and must make an uneasy alliance with Batman to fight the League Of Assassins. I have been told that this episode and a few others have leaked online somewhere on the web.
-
We get are very first super-villain team-up episode. Ra's Al Ghul assembles every villain Batman has defeated and captured at this point in the show with the exception of Simon Stagg, Junkyard Dog, Doodlebug and Lunkhead. More specifically, he assembles Professor Pyg, Mr. Toad, Magpie, Tobias Whale, Phosphorous Rex, and Cypher.
-
Metamorpho returns and the series continues to hint at the possibility of the Outsiders teaming up.
-
Besides the villains previously mentioned Humpty Dumpty, and Anarky both return.
-
Bruce Wayne is 'assassinated' by a Batman imposter. While we don't know who the imposter is, I speculate that it's either Anarky, Prometheus, Man-Bat or the Anti-Batman.
-
We finally get A-list Batman villains in the show! Other than Ra's Al Ghul, anyway. Man-Bat, Deathstroke, Killer Croc, and District Attorney Harvey Dent all make their debut. Unlike previous incarnations of the character, this version of Harvey Dent is NOT a supporter of the Batman. And yes, Harvey does become Two-Face by the end of the season.
-
Oracle Barbara Gordon teams up with Batman for the first time. Barbara uses her hacking/computer skills. She doesn't become Batgirl.
-
Villains that are confirmed for the series that don't seem to be in any of these episodes include The Gentleman Ghost (voiced by Troy Baker), The Key (JB Blanc), King Kraken, Axel Alex, and the Ten Eyed Man. This leads us to believe that the show's creators did plan ahead to Season 2. Of course, Season 2 of the series is unlikely unless it get's high ratings on Toonami. If Season 2 does happen (which it probably won't), I wouldn't be surprised if more A-list villains appear.
Here are some pictures of what's to come:
Series Synopsis: In the new CGI-animated series
Beware The Batman, Batman is backed up by former-secret agent-turned-butler Alfred Pennyworth and the sword-weilding heroine Katana against a rogues' gallery of foes such as Professor Pyg, Mr. Toad, Magpie, Anarky, Tobias Whale, and The League Of Assassins.
