Holy reboot!

Seems like the Caped Crusader never gets a holiday. In the animated series "Beware the Batman" (9 a.m. Saturday, Cartoon), our hero faces a new rogues gallery that includes Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.

Moving out

"666 Park Avenue" (8 p.m. Saturday, KSTP, Ch. 5), the drama that hoped to continue to exploit "Lost" veteran Terry O'Quinn's on-screen creepiness, was one of last season's earliest casualties, but ABC has appeased loyal fans by showing the remaining episodes this summer. This is the 13th and final installment.

Make mine with sprinkles

I scream, you scream, we all scream for "Ice Cream Nation" (7 p.m. Sunday, Cooking), a travelogue that takes you across the country from one cone to the next. Kudos to you if you can get through more than 15 minutes of this without jetting off to Izzy's Ice Cream Cafe.
