Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Batman: The Brave and the Bold returns after a loooong hiatus, and what a return it is, Superman makes his official debut on the show, he had a cameo in "Sidekicks Assemble!", and he is set to make more appearances this season, I got to say, the episode started off really slow, even the opening teaser with King Tut and Batman and Robin wearing mummy outfits, it wasn't very funny or cool in that sort of "so lame it's awesome" way like many other moments in the series. The action is okay, but it's the comedy that really shines in this episode, if you have any sort of knowledge to the more bizarre behavior of Superman, or have visited superdickery.com, you will laugh out loud and notice the, probably the best references this show has made, in my opinion. That's right, red kyrptonite makes Superman act like a di...fferent person, that's one of the funniest moments that caught me off guard. Yeah, Jimmy almost says "d**k", but is interrupted by Lois Lane, and he really acts like one, remember the cover where Superman burns the robe that Jimmy bought him for father's day, saying something along the lines of: "this is an awful present,I'll destroy it right before your eyes just to teach you a lesson". I just wish the cover where Superman rips Lois Lane's air hose apart when she's in space because she wouldn't marry him. But that would've been really contrived just for a gag, so that's fine.



Lex Luthor appears, looking very different from Supeman TAS, he's fatter and has an even deeper voice than Clancy Brown, the voice is provided by Kevin Michael Richardson, so that should come as no surprise, but of course that mancan do high-pitched voices as well. I don't know, I think this version of Luthor is okay, it works fot this particular show a least. The voice for Superman was fine as well. I know certain people are starting to get a little sick of arious shows presenting Superman as a complete jerk, like in Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice and now this, but at least they know it and have fun with it, I don't think Superman's that big of a jerk in Young Justice BTW. Anyay, I'm glad this awesome show is back on the air, too bad it'll be the final season, but I am relieved that James Tucker will work on the next Batman series as well.
