Debut Of “Beware The Batman” On Toonami Draws Nearly 700,000 Viewers
Beware The Batman nabbed solid numbers for its Saturday, May 10th, 2014 debut on Toonami, the popular programming block found on Cartoon Network’s counterpart channel Adult Swim. Beware The Batman, which airs Saturday nights at 3:00am (ET/PT), pulled in nearly 700,000 viewers in its timeslot debut. While not the highest-rated program in the massive programming block, it ranked first in its timeslot among male-dominated demographics for Adult Swim’s Toonami. Beware The Batman, featuring slick CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, stars Batman as he faces off against Gotham City’s criminal underworld with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana.
The information above comes from a mix of Nielsen Media Research, independent research, and official information from Turner Broadcasting. Below is an excerpt from a press released issued by Turner Broadcasting to outlets concerning the performance of the Toonami programming block on May 10th, 2014
On Saturday night’s Toonami block, One Piece (1:30 a.m.) ranked #1 in its time period among all young adults and men. Similarly, Blue Exorcist (2 a.m.) ranked #1 in its time period among adults & men 18-24. Black Lagoon (2:30 a.m.) ranked #1 in its time period among all targeted men, while Beware the Batman (3 a.m.) ranked #1 in its timeslot among men 18-24 & 18-34. Moreover, Bleach (12 a.m.) and Naruto: Shippuden (1 a.m.) grew average delivery of targeted adults and men by double-digits vs. the same time period last year, ranging between 14% and 61%. Attack on Titan (11:30 p.m.) and Blue Exorcist (2 a.m.) also increased delivery among adults 18-34 & 18-49 and all targeted men.
Beware The Batman also pulled in more viewers than the programs both proceeding and following it.
Please note, the above data does not take into account DVR and PVR airings. DVR and PVR recorded airings, on average, can increase a program’s viewership from 5 – 10%.
Details on Beware The Batman‘s ratings for the show’s original debut on Cartoon Network’s DC Nation programming block can be found here.
The CG-animated series originally aired on Cartoon Network as part of the now-defunct DC Nation programming block, but was removed from the schedule in October 2013 for unexplained reason. Adult Swim revealed last month that Beware The Batman would be joining the Toonami programming block starting May 2014, details of which can be found here.

JLA ADVENTURES: TRAPPED IN TIME
ON DVD MAY 20, 2014
All-New 44-Minute DC Comics Original Movie Featuring Iconic Justice League Characters
Prepare for a battle of the ages when the Justice League takes on its archenemies, the Legion of Doom, as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Warner Bros Animation, and DC Entertainment unleash JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time. Packed with non-stop action, JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time comes to DVD on May 20, 2014.

After crafting a monumentally over-the-top plan to take over the world by expanding the polar ice caps, mastermind Lex Luthor is missing and widely presumed dead. One thousand years later, Luthor is discovered and memorialized in the Legion of Super Heroes’ museum, where the teenage super hero, Karate Kid, accidentally releases him. The museum contains both the knowledge of Superman’s secret identity and a way to time travel, in the form of the mysterious Time Trapper. Once Lex Luthor is free, he quickly sets out on a mission to permanently erase Superman from the time stream.
For the Justice League – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman – along with Robin and teen super heroes Karate Kid and Dawnstar, the stakes have never been higher. Facing the deadliest rescue mission to date, the future lies in the hands of the Justice League as it struggles to confront its most critical challenge: the threat of having never existed!

Matthew Gray Gubler, CCH Pounder, Greg Ellis and Giancarlo Esposito
Batman, one of the world’s most valiant super heroes, faces a villainous squad of criminals in an epic battle of good vs. evil in the DC Universe Original Movie, Batman: Assault on Arkham. Set in the world of the best-selling Batman: Arkham video game series, this action-packed film takes place between the Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum video games.

Things take a turn for the worse when one of the Squad members (Harley Quinn) frees the Joker, who is intent on blowing up Arkham Asylum and Gotham City. Batman must use his super hero wits and strength to thwart the wicked plans of the Joker and the Suicide Squad.

Sam Register (Beware the Batman, Teen Titans Go!), Benjamin Melniker (The Dark Knight Rises) and Michael Uslan (The Dark Knight Rises) serve as executive producers.

Batman: Assault on Arkham has tons of exciting enhanced content. The Blu-ray Combo Pack will include:

A place where Batman must keep his watchful gaze, to insure that what goes in does not come out …. ever.
