Batman: The Brave and the Bold is an American animated television series based in part on the DC Comics "team-up" series The Brave and the Bold. Like the comic series, it features two or more super heroes coming together to solve a crime or foil a super villain, but like the original comic series (and unlike the current one), the cartoon focuses on Batman working with the different heroes. The series debuted on November 14, 2008 on Cartoon Network.[1] The series marked the first appearance of the new Warner Bros. Animation logo featuring a 1940s-stylized Bugs Bunny mascot.On 11 January 2010year the show started at Cartoon Network Bulgaria.
[edit] Overview
Each episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold features main character Batman teaming up with other characters from the DC Universe to thwart villains or solve crimes. Beginnings usually have a small introduction and are usually not related to the remainder of the episode. The show is split into two parts: A small adventure right before the theme song, and the main adventure right after that, similar to The Batman. The show's creator has said that if a character's guest appearance in the teaser is deemed successful, then it may warrant exploring the character further in a future episode's main adventure. [2] The show has no overarching story, instead having most episodes stand alone.[3] The show is purposely lighter in tone than previous Batman series, such as the critical and fan favorite Batman: The Animated Series,[4] depicting the Dark Knight as more lighthearted and playful with a "dry, ironic wit" similar to his depiction in the previous animated series The Batman. [5] The show even features various references to the campy 1960s TV series Batman.[6] While the tone is light, the series is not afraid to touch on the subject of death, retelling the murder of Batman's parents, the death of the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, the assassination of Boston Brand, and the execution of "Gentleman" Jim Craddock. Show creators have purposely chosen to go with "lesser known" characters, forgoing the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman to highlight lesser-known "A-list" and "B-List" characters. In many instances, the characters are those that were repeatedly teamed with Batman in the 1970s run of the Brave and the Bold comic book, such as Green Arrow, Wildcat, Plastic Man, and even the Joker. While the show has featured major heroes such as the Green Lantern and the Flash, it consistently focuses on the lesser-known individuals to have carried the names, such as Guy Gardner and Jay Garrick, rather than the more popular, better known Hal Jordan or Barry Allen.[4] Additionally, Batman's alter ego, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, has not yet appeared as an adult during the series, and in situations where Batman is unmasked, the show goes out of its way to keep his face hidden.[5] [edit] CharactersMain article: List of characters in Batman: The Brave and the Bold [edit] Cast
[edit] Comic bookIn January 2009, the first issue of Batman: the Brave and the Bold was released. The comic book follows the same format as the show, starting off with a brief story unrelated to the rest of the issue. Each issue ends with "Secret Batfiles," which gives a brief profile on the main guest hero/villain of the issue. Several authors have contributed to the comic book series, including Matt Wayne, J. Torres and Landry Walker. [edit] Additional charactersSome of the DC characters appearing in the comic have yet to appear in the show, or can't appear at all due to legal reasons. Unlike the cartoon, the comic book tie-in doesn't share the limitations on which characters can be used.[21] Hawkgirl is also slated for an upcoming appearance.[22]
[edit] DVD releasesThe series has yet to be released on DVD in full season formats, like previous Batman series. However, a series of DVD volumes, with each containing 4-5 episodes, has been released:
