If, like the Caped Crusader himself, you’re a nocturnal creature, then you might welcome this news. The long-delayed second half of Beware the Batman Season 1 is finally coming to TV… in a 3am timeslot.

Where’s My Beware the Batman?

Reports have surfaced -- and we have confirmed with Adult Swim/Cartoon Network -- that the series will start airing on Adult Swim as part of the Toonami programming block beginning on May 10 at 3am ET/PT. Essentially, as fans feared, the remaining episodes of Beware the Batman are being burned off quietly.The first 11 episodes which have already aired on Cartoon Network will kick off the new slot weekly starting on May 10, with the remaining, unaired episodes (numbers 12 - 26) beginning on July 27 at 3am. (Two of those episodes have already been available on DVD.)Bat-fans will recall that Beware, the latest series to feature the Dark Knight, was abruptly pulled from CN’s schedule last October with no explanation from the network. Double episodes of Teen Titans Go! were aired instead during the DC Nation one-hour programming block.

This worried viewers -- rightly so as it turned out -- who were still feeling burned by a similar situation involving Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series the previous year. Those shows did go on to air their remaining episodes -- in normal, non-creature of the night timeslots in fact -- though neither series was picked up for a new season.Clearly, the same fate awaits Beware the Batman.
