Genuinely one of the best Batman cartoons of all time that sadly went under the radar when it aired because Batman fans were still wanting BTAS 2. They even made fun of that in one of the later episodes.
>They even made fun of that in one of the later episodes.
Anon, that was episode 18.
few will remember, but the backlash started from the first promo art released. The character designer sperged out calling the critics "Baby Bee Men" and manchildren in something covered by CBR. lucky for him the internet wasn't as dead-set on grudges against minor creators back then or it could've gone down much worse.
It's a good thing
There were thankfully less outlets for sperging beside message boards, no Twitter for people to rage at Tucker or Timm, or Murakami after the "Things Change was an answer to over-projecting fans wanting to know answers to our show" fiasco.
Underrated, really great cast with a interesting mix of 2d and 3d animation. A lot of Imagination and Heart! The Parallel Universe 2 parter in season one is excellent. It also expands the base of DC Villians instead of going to the same rougues gallery. Also, it made Aquaman Cool!
Why not call it a justice league show instead of a batman show?
The show is based off of a comic book that featured Batman teaming up with different DC characters each issue. They're all pretty fun reads. Definitely, a recommend!
>The show is based off of a comic book that featured Batman teaming up with different DC characters each issue.
Anon, the Brave and the Bold was just a team-up series featuring any two heroes.
It might have starred Batman all the time at one point, but certainly not originally.
Without exaggeration, it is the best adaptation of the DC universe into a medium other than comics.
Most shows fail to capture the tonal and conceptual range that results from numerous largely unrelated series existing in the same universe.
It also has my favorite superhero team in it, the (Silver Age) Doom Patrol, adapted excellently.
I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the initial concept was for "The Brave and the Bold" a series that would feature 2 DC characters in each episode, but execs made them focus on Batman since he's a consistently popular character.
>Most shows fail to capture the tonal and conceptual range that results from numerous largely unrelated series existing in the same universe
Best part of the show, it could be completely silly or dark and serious drama
Yes I was huge gay about it during The Dark Knight because “Muh Batman needs to be dark”. Missed out when it aired because of that, but absolutely love it now. Likewise to Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
Originally Superman TAS was going to be this but of course way more subdued. That's why a quarter of the episodes had guest stars. Apparently a Warner exec was like "wtf Superman deserves a show to himself" and the idea of a DC teamup series sat in the back till after the dcau was over. I think the creative freedom and silver age nostalgia are real what made BBatB so great.
The episode where batman gets injured and Aquaman, Jaime and Plas has to act in his place is funny, but also is the best because in the end there is a Vintage Terry cameo in the end as '89 Batman, and elseworld vampire and pirate batman.
The entire episode was love letter to his history.
All they knew was that the next Batman show was going to be CG, so they used the Batgirl: Year One as a gag. James Tucker was supposed to work on it and worked with Mitch Watson to pitch Batman/Superman and No Man’s Land. Both got rejected for different reasons and Tucker moved to the DC DTV line.
I watched this. It was a LOT of fun.
The only down part I acknowledge is, in the episode where Batman fought Babyface, defeats him, then gets into it with Babyface's gf/wife Manface, and replies to "You wouldn't hit a woman, would you?" with
"The hammer of justice is unisex."
.......
Obviously replacing a line they recorded & cut without fixing the syncing.

>I went into the show feeling it was a chance to remind people that Batman didn’t have to always be dark and gritty, and show an earlier, lighter version of the character that existed prior to the ’80s. It was an uphill battle at the time because most fans had been conditioned to not trust any treatment of Batman that wasn’t super straight and basically humorless. >As I guessed, unfortunately, the knee-jerk reaction from a very vocal fan base was to reject it sight unseen (luckily the internet wasn’t as all-consuming as it is now!). It took a while to win over a certain segment of fandom — most didn’t get on board it seems until after we’d already ended — though I was happy that with our second San Diego Comic-Con panel, we already had some diehard believers who “got us”!
Genuinely one of the best possible comic cartoons. You could tell that it was made by people that loved the medium and wanted to tell stories about smaller characters in a fun silver agey kind of way. It was a big reason that I got really into DC comics and sparked my love for loser teams like The Doom Patrol and The Metal Men.
I liked the mixture of humor and seeing rare DC characters get the spotlight teaming up with this version of Batman. Diedrich Bader made the role his own.
Tge last cold opening was kind of lame. If they wanted a real out of left field pick, it should have been Stan Lee, it would have fit the whole meta theme of the ending.
I picked up this show knowing nothing, after the first five minutes, I was just having some good fun watching it. It's great if don't take it too seriously and it's clear that there is a great deal of passion and love of the source material from the creators. Characters were all well respected no matter the iteration being adapted and origin stories neatly condensed into an short, easily digestible package for the general audience. Very smartly written show
Good? It was OUTRAGEOUS
Yes.
were krypto and ace in the show?
and thats still one hell of a way to end a series
Originally Death was going to be the one to tell Bat-mite that by getting the show cancelled, he also offed himself.
Going to out myself as a zoomer but this fricking show had me thinking the JLI (+Aquaman and Jamie BB) were like the main lineup in the comics.
if only
Genuinely would improve their comics quite a bit if something like that was the real JL line up
i loved it.
It was great

Its a silver age tribute.
Because it wasn't a Justice League show. It was a Batman Team-Up show

The Brave and the Bold is the name for the Team Up comics.
Without exaggeration, it is the best adaptation of the DC universe into a medium other than comics.

The vast majority of Brave and the Bold comics is Batman and another hero.

lurk more
Better than TAS.

Yes

>last episode teases beware batman by having batmite talk about it
>canceled after 1 season
Im glad at least brave and the bold came back thanks to that scooby doo movie, i missed it so much

Yes. Very good. Especially Aquaman.
eh the quality of the episodes varied a lot but it had it's moments
The game was co-op kino.
It was one of the best
Personally, I only watched the Music Meister episode and some Aquaman scenes, but it alright.

WHAT was the original scripted line?

THE MUSIC MEISTER
SINGS THE SONGS THAT THE WORLD WANTS TO HEAR
LET'S NOT FIGHT
LET'S GET ALONG
FOR OUR HYPNOTIC PUPPETEER
Off the top of my head.
>ywn re-live the week of Music Meister on Cinemaphile where the ep was livestreamed non-stop and Cinemaphile had "Drives Us Bats" playing
No, it was possibly the best.
Basically the last time Batman was good
Reminder that this was the last time Gary Owens played Space Ghost.
No. It's time for DC to start from scratch with Batman and Superman. It's sad when even the MCU gives us Black Panther that's better than Batman.

if batman:tas has to be the best batman cartoon, this is probably the best DC universe cartoon
Solid
BATMAN DOES NOT EAT NACHOS
Yes. Very good. It was the last cartoon I liked (before X-Men '97, but that's a new season of an old show and doesn't really count).
Tge last cold opening was kind of lame. If they wanted a real out of left field pick, it should have been Stan Lee, it would have fit the whole meta theme of the ending.
