reception

The series received a score of 82% on eleven available reviews on Rotten Tomatoes . Maricela Gonzalez from Entertainment Weekly says the series is, contrary to what she expected, fun and Cliff Wheatley from IGN also says that Beware the Batman is very entertaining, but the animation style bothers him.

Despite the benevolent reviews, Beware the Batman turned into a financial failure and was canceled after the first season.
