Beware the Call Me Maybe!

This was a bit of fun I animated as a "goodbye" to the crew while ending my run as Anim Supervisor on "Beware the Batman" (c. 2013). Magpie was a really fun character in the series, and you could get some nice acting reference for her character. Magpie, Mr. Toad, Katana, and Alfred were utilized here. The song was popular at the time. Animated in Maya. I was initially inspired after seeing Elsa's animation at an early screening of "Frozen".

I love living in an era where animators and cartoonists can share their old and often unseen work with the world

[KingoftheBashful]

Never imagined Beware the Batman content in 2024.

yall should be proud this Magpie redesign influenced every other Magpie adaptation from comics to TV shows ever since!

[DeadHaremGuy]

Nice to know animators have fun with their work.

[GamerSlyRatchet]

That's cute! I really wish this show had gotten a second season.

[novusparadium]

The potential of this animation for other media is insane

[eloigonzalez]

I’m so glad this show is getting recognition now this show is so underrated

Magpie's design was amazing in Beware the Batman

I wasn't sure what this was going to be at first but seeing some love for Beware The Batman was not at all what I expected today. 😅

I literally just found out about the show and character, love her. Really great work animating her in the series and here too

Just finished binge watching the show not too long ago and I loved it. Admittedly took some time to adapt to, but by the end I was hooked. You and everyone else involved made such a unique show, and I thank you for that

Out of all the shows that deserve the Revival Treatment, Beware the Batman needs to be one of them as well as an OST Release.

[usheen.y]

Ohh this was such a good show, so underrated

[Spider-Gekko]

I’m actually kind of surprised this show didn’t get a season two

[SleepySugar]

Great vid. I always loved BTB, it’s really underrated.

Beware the Batman, the greatest Batman cartoon that everyone forgotten

[MoonMoon-clco]

I don’t know what exactly it is but I haven’t been able to stop rewatching this every time this in my recommended!

It’s the opening part for me, that lip sync was on point! Haven’t watched or even heard of this Batman show but now I think I will check it out! :D

[Igarappappa]

Glad this design made the jump to comics.
