I watched so many episodes of Batman: The Animated Series so many times as a kid.  But I lost touch with the cartoon caped crusader around the time Batman Beyond premiered.  Now may be a good time to reconnect, since Cartoon Network is introducing the new series Beware the Batman in 2013 to replace Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which signed off the air last year.  Beware the Batman will have some fun with the traditional mythology.  Robin is more or less replaced by the lady samurai Katana.  Alfred will take on a more active role as an ex-secret agent.  And they're going to the deep bench for the villains, like Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad, King Kraken, and Magpie.

To get a better sense of what's in store, hit the jump to watch the new teaser trailer.
