Batman: Brave and the Bold

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 10-06-2013, 11:01 AM

What are you guys' opinions on Batman: Brave and the Bold?

To me, I love this show because it's not only a show influenced by the 60s Batman show but like TMNT 2012, digs heavily into the Batman mythology and I think it has something there for everyone.

Meh. It's alright. I'm more of a 'Dark and brooding' type of Batman.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not my type of thing.

*snake* · 10-06-2013, 11:44 AM

I loved it. A great homage to the Silver age of comics.

*PApagreg* · 10-06-2013, 11:49 AM

Pretty damn Awesome

It was fine. I prefer darker Batman but I'd argue that it was as good as "light" Batman can get. And it had tons of comic book continuity. It was a good way to get kids or newcomers into Batman and the entire DC Universe. Not gonna be everyone's cup if tea, and I gotta be in the mood to watch it sometimes, but it was fine.

I've seen only around 10 episodes of this show, but I liked what I saw.

I would have rathered this just be a Batman show though, and not a team up show with another Justice League superhero every week. And yes I know Brave and the Bold comics do the same.

I think this would have been better off only in Batman's world and no Aquaman, Guy Gardner, Green arrow, etc

I started watching late so theres a ton I missed but I liked it. Id like to get it on DVD.

It wasn't a straight forward Batman show and it wasn't serious at all but thats what I liked about it. It was fun. I like a serious Batman too but I think sometimes the overtop-ness (not a word) of Batman seems a little silly when portrayed seriously.

*snake* · 10-06-2013, 06:07 PM

I loved Bat-mite in the series.

CC: I don't think it would have worked as a stand-alone Batman show. The way it was done, it would have gotten old too quickly. The main part of the appeal is that it was more like DC: The Animated Series than a straight-up Batman show, with Batman acting like a "tour guide" of sorts to the DCU. It's a great way to get kids and newbies into DC's world, and just like the Justice League shows, most of those characters would never be seen in any other animated format, so it was worth it.

Plus, Batman gets too many f*cking shows to himself anyway. Having a show that wasn't all "dark n gritty Batman" was a perfect excuse to showcase other characters. I know if it was just a Batman show with the same humor and style that *I* wouldn't have liked it as much.

*Candy Kappa* · 10-08-2013, 04:16 AM

probably my favorite Batman show. It beautifully combines all elements of Batman into a colorful and fun package.

*DVD* · 10-08-2013, 03:33 PM

I think it's really good.
I've got the whole series and when I got it, I almost watched it around the clock. I love how you never quite know what you are going to get.

It's a pity it ended, but nearly two years later we get Beware. Now this is a great Batman show.

This show might have a light tone, but there are tons of deaths!!!

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 10-09-2013, 11:49 PM

I think this show is hilarious. It's also a breathe of fresh air from all the dark and gritty storylines and it's a fun show that reminds me of the 60s Batman. I really loved this one episode where many of the villains were singing and dancing. I can't remember what it was called but it did have Black Canery in it.

The first season is the weakest I think, or at least the first 13 episodes, after that it really went off the wall crazy and it was a hell of a ride, great show that won me over.

Later seasons have plenty of Batman only episodes and while they're fun to see the show as Batman only you miss having the other guys. At least I remember thinking that it was becoming too Batman centric by the third season. Check the show out, I think you'll like it a lot CC.

Would you say this show is better than Beware the Batman?

LeoNerdo · 11-16-2013, 08:10 PM

I was on board with this show from the beginning and I still love it. I think my favorite episode was Chill of the Night. No coincidence it was a Paul Dini episode.

Yeah, it's a totally different kind of show but I think it hits the notes a little better for more various Batman fans. I think it's objectively better BUT it's also an entirely different kind of show.

Which is weird, because I generally like "darker" Batman, but I loved how it showed a ton of DCU characters, being a team-up show stayed true to the comic book of the same name, and told some Batman stories that you wouldn't normally see in another format. I didn't expect to like it but I immediately did, whereas I think I'll appreciate the new show more in the future with the benefit of hindsight and repeat viewings.

Loved it, not as much as BTAS, but the selling point for me is all the cross overs. From Johan Hex to Holmes, I watch it just to see who would show up next lol.

I also loved Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman playing there villians in a game of yep baseball. And the villians were cheating(They still lost) That scene rule. A game of Baseball determind the fate of the world. Good times.
