Warner Bros Tones Down Violence in "Beware the Batman" Cartoon

Posted: July 28th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Warner Bros Tones Down Violence in Beware the Batman CartoonSubmit Comment
The way Warner Bros reacted to the Colorado massacre makes it seem like the studio was directly responsible for killing 12 people and injuring 58 others. After the shootings, Warners removed all "The Dark Knight Rises" advertising, plus it scrubbed any mentioning of "Gangster Squad," which features a scene showing gunmen shooting audience members at a movie theater.

The studio then announced it will completely remove the scene from "Gangster Squad," which resulted in heavy re-shoots and pushing the release date from September to January. Warners didn't stop there. It also donated a substantial amount of money to the victims.

And now, Variety has learned that the studio is toning down the violence in "Beware the Batman," a new animated TV series that's set to debut next year. Some of the alterations are focused on minimizing the amount of weapon imagery deemed too realistic. This process, described as being expensive, will include changing the shape of gun barrels from round to square in order to make them seem more sci-fi.

Well it was never going to be that violent anyway with villains like Professor Pygg, mister toad, humpty dumpty, magpie, arnaky and king kraken.


This will suck on the basis it doesn't have any of the classic villains.

Holy f*ck, an Asian Batman!

Who apparently also suffers from severe dystrophia.

Tell ya what, Warner Bros., delete ALL the guns in every movie you'll release the following year.

I bet in Gangster Squad people shot each other in the face in places other than movie theatres. Just like in real life, you know? Which is traumatic.

But it doesn't get much publicity.

Pay respects to people who perished and help their families and the wounded in their recovery. Help improve security in theatres so that loaded psychos had lower chances to start a massacre (machine gun, shotgun and two pistols - I still can't f*cking believe).
But stop p*ssying out that much - that means the f*cker one and society is scared. Not the right way to go.

Correct me if I`m wrong Kill-The-Director but didnt Prof.Pygg capture his victims then turned them into mindless drones by putting on masks that seared their owners face?

And whats with the picture of batman above? He looks like he's been spending some time infront of the toilet stickin his finger down his throat. And his face looks like something of the Year 100 cover

Less violence still means it contains violence.
They're trying to appear publicly they're being pro-active. None of the Batman's anything, movies, TV series, lunch boxes, anything has anything to do with a lone-crazed cowardly shooter like they had in Aurora.

f*ck this world is turning into a bunch of PC pussies.

What Bando said... a 'Glee' version of Batman. No sh*t.

While they're at it...

Stop making Batman and his environment so dark and mysterious. October_Fruit-Loop-Eating_Pansy will get nightmares of his dad coming home drunk after a night of bowling and wants to throw one more strike (IF you know what I mean?!).

And his car... Batman. It's scary. He speeds. It's not registered. It a danger.

And his weapons... lose 'em. He should be able to talk criminals down when he stands in the way of their successful bank robbery and all the bank employees are wired with C4.

And that cowl he wears. Only bad guys wear masks. Make him a mask-free Batman. Hey, Superman does it (since 1938).

And bats can carry rabies. Is this gothic crusader a voice for all those rabid bats? He should change his name to 'Swan-Man!' Swams are nice... and white (sorry Jason).

I say james holmes deserves the death penalty. But make it creative. Make him get tied down bent over a table and let the most disease ridden animals f*ck him up the bum until he ceases to breath. Then bring in the lion and let him eat the "cake" after its been "iced". And make like its 1969 and broadcast that sh*t live simultanously around the globe.

Welcome to the age of the Tampon! This is so stupid! Why not turn the news off instead, that is the most violent thing out there right now. And Columbine was worse, and they still made two Matrix sequels...Warner Brothers. People need to understand that this could have happened anywhere, a supermarket, a football game, a church. It just so happened to be where this Manchurian Candidate was sent to. And the big out come, GUN CONTROL. Why because we are under MARTIAL LAW, and what a perfect setting to start to rid the public of Fire Arms, don't believe the HYPE people, ask what else happened that day, look around what bills were signed the day this happened.

he made that nic cage turd next and xxx sequel with ice cube.

@bspence: Read your cop comment. Good thoughts man.

I think I started hating cops down in Texas where I lived for a few years. One of the first encounters with them there involved a slow-moving cop who caused a fender-bender because he stopped suddenly, forcing the scared, under-speed motorists behind him to collide, all so he could chase someone not wearing a seat-belt. Me.

Another time I was stopped right outside my home on a four-way because the cops were running a random checkpoint, not for a particular criminal, but so they could just get a better look at your car.

And yet another time, I watched cops sit at a bus stop so they could grab jaywalkers as a pretense to checking their ID. They weren't looking for anyone in particular, just another shakedown.

And then, another time, I watched as a police tow truck pulled people's cars off from an apartment lot, because in Texas, apartment companies allow the city to come in to tow away people's cars if the tags aren't up to date. So that means, if you're behind on your tags or insurance, which must be posted on the front windshield in the form of two silly stickers, you may find your car, which you depend on to survive, gone in the morning.

There's a huge reason we have so many cops these days, though. Mostly because of minority crime, but regardless, the fact our cities are now virtual prisons says a lot about where American society is going.
