Batman: Year Three

New Bat-Toon Due In Fall

Warner Brothers Animation will produce a new small-screen animated version of Batman for The Kids’ WB and Cartoon Network, Variety reported. The Batman will bow on The Kids’ WB Saturday morning schedule this fall before moving over to sibling Cartoon Network in early spring 2005, the trade paper reported.

The series will catch up with Batman in year three, as he’s in his mid-20s and adjusting to his dual life as the caped crusader and as billionaire bachelor Bruce Wayne, the trade paper reported. The young Batman will meet classic villains, including the Joker, the Penguin and Catwoman, for the first time.

The show’s theme song will be performed by U2’s the Edge. Former Batman TV star Adam West will lend his voice as the mayor, and Gina Gershon will voice Catwoman, the trade paper reported.

Batman: Year One is currently being made into a movie starring Christian Bale as Batman with “Memento” director Christopher Nolan at the helm. I’m guessing Year Two will be made if the first movie makes enough. I presume the WB decided to put the cartoon setting in Year Three so that the future movies won’t conflict with the storylines. That’s my best guess anyway.
