Premise

Crime-fighting vigilante Batman teams up with new sidekick Katana and his gun-toting butler, Alfred Pennyworth to defeat crime in Gotham City, such as the evil Professor Pyg.[1][2]

Development

After Batman: The Brave and the Bold ended its run in November 2011, a new series went under production, so that Batman could return to a more "serious tone."[3] When the series was first unveiled it was announced that lesser known villains would be introduced. Sam Register explained "We went in deeper into the villain library and pulled out some other villains" and the studio did not want the series to do another "Joker story".[4][5] With Batman receiving a new sidekick, Outsiders member Katana, Register even commented that "Katana is gonna be his new Robin, but not necessarily."[1]
