Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Finally a Batman show I can watch with my kids (that's good). It's funny, it's awesome to see some different characters, and the animation is stellar.

I can not believe they ended it. I didn't know they were going to do it until I watched the last episode. I actually pulled a Darth Vader and yelled NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! why get rid of it. It would have added a little ground for parents to let there kids watch DC Nation.

With Marvel Universe coming out and DC Nation reaching to adults, I will have to watch Marvel.

It does make since, whenever a parent asked me what comics should he get for his kids I always told him go with Marvel, it's more kid friendly. Do Not let him read Batman, it's not for kids, it's brutal.

Batman : The Brave and the Bold is an under rated series that died before completing its mission! The powers that be certainly are in league with those who killed the original Star Trek in our universe and the evil people in all other universes!

While Batman is the lead character, he is the host to introduce us to others who are also brave, bold heroes just like him! The series wasn't just about him and showing these other guys was never "jumping the shark." The series has been exciting and much too short!

While Batman: The Animated Series is indubitably the best batman animated series, while The New Batman Adventures comes second to it, Batman: The Brave And Bold has done a pretty decent job in continuing the Batman media franchise. While it is true that the Brave and Bold has unfortunately toned down the darker aspect of Batman, in replacement of the more old-school style along with catchy-like punchlines, it does a successful job in diversifying the episodes by introducing many different super-villains, superheroes, and variety of settings. Unlike Batman: The Animated Series, the settings change from time to time, as well as the kinds of villains Batman struggles against.

While Batman in the Brave and Bold series is certainly different from the Batman in the Animated Series, the transition is not too dramatically different. Remember that the older batman series (such as the one in 1977) that preceded the Animated Series was far less darker and serious than both the Animated Series and Brave And Bold combined. Batman in the earlier decades was far less darker and serious, and it was when the Animated Series arrived in the 90's that firmly established a standard of what an ideal batman animated series should look like. Frank Miller also helped established the standard of the darker and grimmer batman that most of us are familiar with. Batman: Brave and Bold, in my opinion, still carries a residue of the Batman from the Animated Series (the more serious type that has expresses little sense of humor, laughs a few times) while it tries to re-live and re-make the New Adventures of Batman in a more contemporary way. I believe that while Batman: Brave and Bold has failed to satisfy many fans who expected the darker Batman from the Animated Series, it has certainly succeeded in reliving the New Adventures Series in its contemporary form.

I saw Batman the Brave and the Bold's advertisements and though it was a pretty good idea for a show, it was different, but seemed good. Then when I saw the show I realized how bad it was. Everything was just too weird for example a giant baby thing that wants to kill batman. The artwork is impressive and detailed( Batman though looks to bulgy). They do not show characters from the original comics much. This could of been a good part of the show but all of the villains and heroes in it were like I said too weird.

A refreshing take on the Batman character i have come to love and admire since i was a wee baby. Classic team-ups DC style with the likes of Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, and The Lantern Corp! When im watching a superhero cartoon i always appreciate the cavalcade of characters, giving me more bang for my buck! The list of super-villians isn't too shabby either! With batman's dry wit and classic "bat-belt" heroics, i recommend this cartoon to anyone with a heartbeat that resonates with the comics of our ages! please feel free to email or send me a message if you would like to discuss this or any superhero/classic cartoon! Stay tuned for more reviews, TRUE BELIEVERS!!!!

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to expect of this series going in. DC fans had been treated to over a decade of mature, quality storytelling from Batman: The Animated Series to Justice League Unlimited, and more adult fare was coming down the pipeline in terms of Direct-to-Video releases. So if WB wanted to gear the next Batman show to kiddies, why not?



Well, here's the shocker. On paper and at a quick glance this is indeed a show aimed at kids. Bright colourful characters and environments, simplified storylines, lots of superheroes beating up super villains. But watch a few episodes, and you'll quickly realize the actual target is the adult audience! That is to say, adult audiences who grew up with the 1950s/60s Silver Age comic books, the Dick Sprang artwork, the classic, pure tales of good and evil. And that is what Batman: The Brave and the Bold is, a homage to another era that is unashamed of what it wants to be. I mean, I can't really see today's kids getting into this version of Batman, not when "The Dark Knight" has made the gritty, modern version so cool. But long-time fans will get all the in-jokes, guest heroes, and other clever references that fill each episode. This to me is actually the best demographic for this series, because you almost have to have grown up seeing multiple interpretations of Batman to accept the validity of what's presented here. Unlike the previous animated series "The Batman" which was in constant identity crisis and pulled every which way by the network and toy mandates, Batman: TBATB knows what it wants to be from episode one. Diedrich Bader is a solid Batman, playing the straight foil to a variety of guest heroes from Green Arrow to Deadman, Jonah Hex to Adam Strange. And this show digs deep into all corners of the DC Universe, pulling out obscure and wacky blasts from the past that the more serious Justice League Unlimited would've been afraid to touch (really, where else would you see animated versions of G'nort and Mogo?) I don't see this show as being better or worse than the much-loved Batman: The Animated Series, but rather a different interpretation that is just as valid and just as fun, given the chance. Try it!

Now this is what I love to call "original". When I heard about this new Batman cartoon coming out on Cartoon Network a couple of years ago, I wasn't so crazy about it because I was afraid they would miss it up and not make the premise original or anything like that. I decided to watch the pilot episode and I loved it. This cartoon was ORIGINAL to me because it has background music that really fits smoothly to the action scenes and it is just plain awesome. I don't watch this cartoon a whole lot on Cartoon Network (mainly because I forget to change the channel to it and forget what time they show it). If I do watch this cartoon, it's probably mainly in the mornings and it also depends what time I wake up. Still, whether you watch this cartoon in the mornings or whatever time in the afternoon that Cartoon Network airs it.... it is a very nice way to spend 30 minutes of your time. I love this cartoon and it's not close to being terrible or anything. Batman is my favorite superhero and I would consider this one of my Cartoon Network shows to watch. The storylines are well developed, the background music is cool because it feels like you're watching an 80s movie, the animation is extraordinary, the voice fits perfectly with the characters, and everything about this cartoon is just lovely. Overall, I strongly recommend this cartoon... it seriously is one of the best Cartoon Network shows that I have ever seen. 10/10

After the extremely disappointing series The Batman, this series takes Batman back to where few would dare venture. The show has a bit of camp, with the plots being rather silly, but entertaining. Also we get Batman paired with a different partner every week, adding a lot of variety to the show.



If you took the live action Batman 1966 seriously or enjoyed it for its camp, you will enjoy this show.



The show often crosses the line between ridiculous and fantastic (meaning hard to believe), which allows the show to venture into some uncharted territory.



This show always entertains, if you don't take your Batman to seriously.



If you want to try to suppress any memories of Batman's campy stories, go for the excellent' Batman The Animated Series, which surpasses any Batman movie to date.

This is a very pleasant, well done and entertaining show. A refreshing take on batman character, after years of darkness. The retro art style is very cool and fits the action, characters develop in a stylish subtle way, overall its pretty good in all aspects.

Other lovable aspect; as more loosely tied to realism than other current superhero stuff, the show has the guts to bring lesser known superheros, in a most better and natural way than for example, Justice League Unlimited. This is good, cause I miss these weird guys and some of them are really cool.

The controversy about it relies on teenager public, while kids and adults will most likely love the show, teenagers tends to take themselves too serious, and so with things they watch. Just relax and enjoy guys, try to understand the goodness and badassness of the series.

Well, im currently in a hate-hate a little less relationship with this show. Here's my major thing: there is no story! Oh sure every episode has the major villain that batman has to stop but as far as i can tell, the stories aren't interconnected at all. Even the origional batman had some continuation from characters, joker has to escape from jail since he was put there in an earlier episode but so far with this show, everything is independent. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing for one you don't have to worry about missing an episode or two and coming back and saying hey when did he get THAT!?!?! But at the same time it just feels like a bunch of random fights with him teamed up with a random super hero, and that gets kinda old after awhile especially since this batman is a total jerk and has some of the worst one liners ever "who put you in charge?!?" Batman-"i did got a problem with that?" to quote just one. I feel that batman's character is completely out of sink with who he really is, he doesnt just go around telling every one to shove off, he may be troubled but he has respect for his fellow hero. SO overall, its not the best batman spin off they've done but its not the worst either.

When I first heard of this new version,I was deeply sceptical.I expected a bad animated version of the 60s Adam West Batman with a guest star of the week.

While the show is intentionally cheesy,Batman himself is no Adam West throw back.Some of the comedy comes from the differences between Batman and his various co-star.

It's certainly more entertaining and a lot less insulting than the previous animated incarnation of the dark knight "The Batman"(Joker and Penguin doing kung-fu moves?Bringing Mr Freeze back to his low grade origins as a ordinary jewel thief after Bruce Timm's inspired reinvention?Bruce Wayne's favorite food is NACHOS????Now that is cheesy.Need I go on?)

While this not the series I'd liked to see being done,I can,none the less,appreciate it for what it is.an entertaining,funny and original interpretation of the dark knight.

Till the next series,I'll enjoy this one.

This show is another Batman superhero show, where Batman has to save the day from evil villians like the Joker. Honestly, while this isn't as great as Batman: The Animated Series, it's still a very good show. I like the concept of Batman working with another superhero, like aquaman, although every episode is a little much I think. The action is very standard, no real suprises that make you think that Batman's going to die very often, although it happens. Overall, for a CN Batman, this is stellarly done, so good job CN on one the few good things on your network. 7.5/10 C+

I was skeptical at first, I looked at it and thought "oh boy, not another Batman cartoon." I was wrong. This is unlike any other Batman show I've seen. In fact, it's not so much a Batman cartoon, as a DC showcase. Each episode has Batman teaming up with another hero - and not really well-known heroes like oh, say, Superman. Heroes like Green Arrow and Plastic Man.. guys who haven't gotten much spotlight in the past. The episodes seem to focus on said co-star, too, and less on Batman. I love this aspect of the show, because as much as I love Batman, I think it's time that other DC heroes finally got some attention. One thing that people need to remember is that this is NOT a series to be compared to BtAS. A lot of critics compare the two, and it just isn't fair because they're two completely different shows. It leans more towards the old Adam West adaption of Batman - it's pretty campy. It still has a good amount of nice action sequences though. The animation is pretty, and allows for lots of fun visuals, too. Overall, a very fun show with a lot of potential. I look forward to seeing more.

This new series continues to imress. The artwork is a combination of state of the art and retro DC comic look.The storylines are thoughtfully enterwoven to build on some old premise from the Timm era. For example the show that featured Morgan LeFay,Merlin, and Etrogan is a prime example of taking the storyline further. You will enjoy seeing the Heroes that Batman teams up with, this brings a whole new perspective on Batman as the loner. Batman's voice is well cast with Diedrich Bader from Drew Carey fame. I can't wait for it to hit the DVD or Blueray format.

To all of the people who are quick to blow this off as a "cheesy" and "lame" take on the character of Batman, please note - this show is purposely not meant to be a retread of anything related to the "Dark Knight" version of Bats. Batman: The Brave and the Bold pays direct homage to the comic book Batman of the late 50s and early 60s. The Batman of that time was much more light-hearted and often had over-the-top adventures (to compete with the growing popularity of the sci-fi genre). It was common for the Batman of that day to go travelling through outer space or to fight villains atop a gigantic cuckoo clock. So in that respect, Batman: TBATB perfectly captures the essence of that era. But it also seemlessly combines it with current DC Comics continuity to end up making something unique yet familiar, innocent yet exciting -- and overall entertaining. So quit griping and just kick back, relax and enjoy.

batman the brave and the bold is really good show i think its one of the best it changes things were batman is not just the only hero in show there is aquaman and others that makes a show good. all the othes batman was a the only hero i think its really cool to see others helping batman. and the tech is cool in the show its more updated and the batmoblie looks diffrent and more modern. and the stories are pretty cool and well put togeather like i like how show startes out with batman at mission and then the intro startes that pretty cool. and its diffrent. so thats why i did not just right it off like alot of people did.

Batman brave and the bold is a badass new spin on the old-school batman we all grew up with. As the portrayal of the original batman changes from the acting of adam west (at least imo), to the voice acting of c-list tv and movie actor Diedrich Bader, the camp factor dies out like a candle in hurricane of fisticuffs and batarangs. BaTB Batman takes the the dark knight's smooth evasive fighting style usually shown in shows of the DCAU, and hands you an in your face ass-Kicking before you know what's what. BaTB batman doesn't seem to take crap from anyone. Whether it be him and plastic man taking on the savage henchman hordes of Gorilla Grodd on Dinosaur Island, or battling Chemo in the Bat-Boat via voice command while fellow heroes Aquaman and The new Atom (Ryan Choi, Not Ray Palmer) Battle a deadly radiated virus from inside of him, the welcome inclusion of him globetrotting and the numerous team-ups with various incarnations of DC superheroes that you thought no one really remembered or cared about, and given the spotlight at least once a season/episode. For ex., the welcoming of the new Jaime Reyes version of The Blue Beetle, or Dick Grayson in the Earth 2 Robin most hardcore Comic book Readers know right off the bat.



all in all,i think BaTB gives us viewers a cool new way to view the old batman from a different, somewhat edgier angle....

Man this show is better than a 6.3 rating. I usually prefer a darker Batman but I still like this better than The Batman. The villians and lines might be a little campy but certainly not on a Batmsn 1960s level or Joel Schumacher level. This is a good, entertaining show. This my 3rd favorite batman animated series after the one from 90s (both version) and Batman Beyond. JL and JLU don't count. If you want dark done right than watch BTAS and Chris Nolan Batman, but if you want light heartedness done right than watch this show. It's not a bad show.

ACTION...COMEDY...FIGHTING...SUPERHEROES...STORY!!!

This show has them all well all minus Wonderwoman

im a HUUUGE dc cartoon fan and this cartoon is ace and no complaints and our batman in this show sounds like kevin conroy that andrea romano gets a high five!!!

Aqua man is hysterical and great having red tornado too im hoping to see more dr fate as well....

It keeps getting better and good seeing thyre bringing some female heroes in too.

Its great cause for first time were seeing some of these characters in the dc cartoons ...i loved red hood!

Looking forward to seeing new heroes and more old favourites..maybe superman???? he was mentioned

I think that this is a very great show! At first, i didn't like it, but now i think it is very interesting. I like seeing Batman team up with other heroes. He even teams up with some heroes i never heard of it. I also like that they used some classic Villians Like The Joker. But Gentleman Ghost is also used alot. I think that this is a great Batman series and you should give it a chance. Well, that is my opinion. I also like that they use some heroes Like, Aquaman, The Atom, and so on. Overall, i think it is a good show.

I feel sorry for Batman because no matter what show is created around him, it will always be in the shadow of the marvelous animated series and will always be compared to it. In some cased, like The Batman, it's like comparing fingerpaints to Picasso but The Brave and the Bold is more than its goofy cartoonish appearance puts forth.



The Brave and the Bold is an enjoyable and light-hearted showcase of the lesser-known DC characters and it's this partner dynamic that makes The Brave and the Bold work despite itself. Personally, I love this show and I'm glad I gave it a chance -- it just keeps getting better and better.



It's not Dini's show, but what else could be? Give it a shot!

Yep they have done it again and brought back the campy batman. Many people may moan and groan but I don't mind this series. I actually didn't mind Batman and Robin, I mean it wasn't as good as the original movies. But this series isn't as good as the original series. I liked The Batman series because it was borderline dark and funny but this show is just silly and has no seriousness to it. And just seems like its taking the mickey out of batman everytime you watch it. I mean doesn't batman feel embarrassed that he is wearing underwear on the outside. Anyway please WB give us a dark series of batman for us teens...

This is a very creative tv show. It is decent, but a favorite Cartoon Network show. It needs more stuff although.



It features great characters such as Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner, Green Arrow and awesome abilities of all of the Superheroes. And classical villains. I like the Idea of Will Friedle playing the voice of Blue Beetle. That characters are very creative. It is good to watch when you are being board if you are a fan of Batman. Although, the character of Batman in this is alot like the old DC Comics Batman from the 1940s and the other old days

And as a new Batman cartoon is unleashed upon the world, another decent cartoon is made ina land of crummy cartoons. Batman The Brave and the Bold is very decent. The animation for the show, even I must admit, is a bit weak: it isnt exactly today'ss tandards of animation. Voice acting is preatty good, but I think they're reusing some guys a litttle too much. One guy voices both Black Manta and Despero. In terms of the actual plot, I like the idea of Batman teaming up with other guys against other villans. Let's you meet some other DC heroes and villans. Overall, I' watch this show and it is good, but it's not my favorite. One thing that bugs me is that Batman's cape and cowel is blue, and it looks wierder then his usual black cowel.

This episode "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!" is NOT being shown until 2-20-2009 and the 2 episodes after this one "Deep Cover for Batman!" is not being shown until 2-27-2009 and "Game Over for Owlman!" is on 3-6-2009. The reason for the change is the fact that on 2-13-2009 Cartoon Network HD will be showing the NEW Pokemon movie premiere called "Giratina and the Sky Warrior from 7:00 - 9:00 pm and then at 9:00 pm they will present 2 brand NEW episodes of Star Wars The Clone Wars entitled "Blue Shadow Virus" and "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" which I cant wait to see because The Clone Wars is the best new show on TV currently in my humble opinion.

Lately good cartoons have been hard to come by especially since one gets going the station seems to put it on hiatus. Well Batman: the Brave and the Bold is a pretty good show. Going with a "villan of the week" format, like Ben 10, Batman works with a new DC comics superhero each episode. Personally this is a good reincarnation of the Dark Knight considering that its predecessor, The Batman, in my opinion sort of lost its hype near the end of the series. Its animation quickly stands out as different than other shows but it, interestingly enough, fits well with the DC comics characters.

This was a great episode. The opening with Doctor Fate was clever, having the Doc rely on something other then magic to beat Wotan. But the main story, that was the clincher. I'm not going to lie to you: the Green Lanterns have always been my favorite superheroes, so any episode with them is getting my vote, but the storyline itself was pretty good too. The voicing was fantastic: Kevin Michael Richardson as Despero and Alex Polinsky as G'Nort was great casting, and I liked how Sinestro and Hal Jordan sounded too.



The real reason I like this episode, though, is the character development. In his previous appearance, Guy Gardner was loud, brash, and arrogant, like his early comic book persona. But in defending Mogo from Sinestro, he shows the heroic and noble core that has defined his character in recent years. Seeing Sinestro as his post-corps betrayal self was interesting. I, for one, am hoping he returns, maybe with his Sinestro Corps backing him up.



All in all, a great episode, with some hilarious comedy moments, courtesty of G'Nort.

I personally think this is a great addition to the trend of batman cartoons. when i first heard it was going to be a show where Batman was going to team up with heros like wildcat, plastic man, and red tornado I knew it was gonna be a good show. I could tell from the commercials that it was going to be a combination of the old school Batman series and the current version. Since it has many heros and villains that aren't as well known, the show is a definate win with me. Overall, Batman: The Brave and the Bold is one of the better batman shows I've seen.

When I first heard about this new Batman show, my first thought was, "Another one?" When I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised. It was not what I expected at all. It was better. I certainly feels like an old 50s comic book, and it's great. It's clever and it's witty. I love Batman's humorous monologues and quite frankly, Aquaman cracks me up. As much as I loved Batman: The Animated series, this show comes a close second. I'm tired of all the dark and gloomy Batman movies and cartoons out recently. Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a breath of fresh air.

This is possibly the worst piece of crap I've ever seen, and I watch a lot of TV. Batman has always been my favorite hero, and I always look forward to seeing the classic villains (Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Two-face, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, etc). This show includes characters that not only will ruin the minds of children into thinking that this is totally like Batman. The only cartoon that was almost exactly like the comic books was Batman: The Animated Series. The Batman series that they came out with in 2005 was SO much better than this. Why don't they just make new episodes of this instead?
