I know we often praise the DCAU, but let’s take a minute to appreciate Batman The Brave and the Bold. It was so nice to see so many lesser known characters get spotlight, and the tone of the show was great

The whole thing was a loveletter to the silver age comics, and it was fucking great and one of few recent-ish batman stuff that isn't just him being broody and show being dark

Brave and the Bold is better than DCAU fite me

nah. well it is but i'm just being inflammatory I get personal preferences.

BATB was so fucking good

I was guilty of judging a book by it’s cover when it first came out. Now I feel like a shit missing out.

I miss when Batman was fun. Even BTAS showed Batman as having a lighter side and not standing on gargoyles brooding about his life situation all the time. Brave and the Bold was pure comic book fun with tight action.

>Brave and the Bold is better than DCAU fite me

Given James Tucker's experience with both BTAS and JL, BATB is literally the successor of the DCAU.

You can still watch it, there was a crossover movie with Scoobie Doo last year so it isn't completely forgotten

>Brave and the Bold is better than DCAU fite me

Why? I agree with you.

>It was so nice to see so many lesser known characters get spotlight

We should take a moment to appreciate this fact. BATB used Batman's fame for good by delving into the more obscure parts of the DCU.

Take Crazy Quilt for example. For decades, he was considered a joke of a Batvillain, but BATB knew the genius of the character and presented him as a real threat to the dynamic duo. The best part is that they didn't add anything to him that the original comics didn't already have. They just distilled his appeal.

My only complaints about the show is that they fucked up Metamorpho and should've had some focus on the 90's characters, but those are minor issues compared to the overall achievement.

The very last scene gets me teary eyed

>we will never get the Crisis on Infinite Earths musical they wanted to make

>tfw Diedrich Bader is a good Batman voice
>kinda looking forward to Harley Quinn because of it.

The one, ONE flaw of this show was using The Question in what was clearly a Mr. Miracle plotline because people thought The Question was always like he was in JLU.

I definitely appreciate that it existed. And I really enjoyed it for a few seasons. Though personally the premise had a limited lifespan for me as I really did't care about all the obscure C-listers and references and had felt like I got just about all I needed to out the the show.

I’m still mad Musuc Meister isn’t in main canon

Audio villain in non audio medium.

If the films weren't so edgy I'd like to see him as an early example of what Bats had to deal with.

forever butthurt we never got a Legion episode

I know the show itself claimed it jumped the shark but I would've loved to have seen at least a couple more episodes. I wanted to see Batman team up with the Creature Commandos, Dial H for Hero, Swamp Thing, the Teen Titans. There were just too many more possibilities that the show could've explored.

Wasn't there going to be a made for TV movie based on Crisis on Infinite Earths and it was going to be a musical?

This. A Legion episode would've been awesome. Who do you think would've been the main villain? Time Trapper? Emerald Empress? Lightning Lord?

Another musical? Mayhem of the Music Meistar was a great episode, I would love to see another how big do you think are the chances of another such thing ever happening in any DC property

Most of the first season wasn’t all that special, but once Batmite showed up it became one of the best superhero cartoons. That was the episode where they found their footing and never stopped.

I think one of the rumors was they pitched an Animal Man episode based on the Coyote Gospel issue that got turned down for being too dark

And when you look at Chill of the Night and think it had to be darker than that, oh boy

The women were sexy as fuck and thicc on this show

Who can forget that Birds of Prey ep?

Ben Jones who directed an episode or two talked about it on the War Rocket Ajax podcast.

Best Green Arrow in television/film. Change my mind.

We got a Kamandi episode, at least

i want a good one though

Except for the Batwank aspect (or 70%), I would agree that this was good. If they did a Brave and the Bold where they used other people as the team up, I would have rated it 10/10. As it stands, I give it 5/10

I want a full dc batb, not just one about Batman. Even though I love Batman

JLA was that.

Both are wrong
He's the most OUTRAGEOUS Aquaman

Best Catwoman. Prove me wrong

Time Trapper strands Batman and some others in the future, team up with the Legion to stop the Fatal Five before taking on Trapper.

Opening is Ace the Bat-Hound teaming up with Detective Chimp to defeat Mr. Mind.

B'wana Beast died so that you may live. Never forget.

Same creator, too. He had to end LoSH and moved on to BatB afterwards.

Genius.

If BATB wasn't about Batman, they never would've featured obscure characters like Plastic Man, Kamandi, or the Metal Men.

Really, BATB highlights the problem with the comics. If Batman is popular, you should use him to spotlight less popular heroes, not double down on the character.

Then again, the current DCU is a clusterfuck and modern Batman barely works as a character, so whatever.

> obscure characters

I mean I know he's not A-list or arguably B-list, but I wouldn't say he's obscure at all.

>Tucker wanted to feature every comic book age with LOS
>The dark age was to give way to the brighter modern age
>Cancelled before he could do that

Tucker also wanted to make a No-Man's Land cartoon, but, ironically, Warner thought it would be too dark.

Bruce looks kinda anime-ish in the second panel.

He's obscure enough that nobody would pull the trigger on a Plastic Man cartoon (even though the pilot was amazing).

It took his popularity on BATB for Warner to give the green light on the shorts.

He’s actually happy that he didn’t do it, since WB was pushing for a CGI Batman show, no matter what the premise, and NML would’ve been a nightmare to produce in TV CGI.

>Kevin Conroy as the phantom stranger
>Mark hamill as the specter
This show was too good for this world

Remember that red tornado never appeared after being destroyed during the starro arc.
They fucking killed him

Conroy was better as the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh.

Yeah, Tucker could've fixed a lot of problems with that event.

BATB had so much potential it's not even funny. Writers should be taking lessons in how flexible that show was. It's crazy.

I know. Batb did so much but I still want a creature commandos / G.I. robot / Sgt rock / haunted tank crossover

Neil Patrick Harris as the Music Meister was just too good.

I'm disappointed they went with another giant invasion with Darkseid. They should've done something closer to the source material just for originality's sake.

What is the context here

In the new season of Young Justice, Beast Boy was hit by a justifier helmet and went through a series of dreams that went into all the loss he endured throughout the show. After his mother's death, her former costar, Rita Farr adopted Beast Boy and inducted him into the Doom Patrol. They died on a mission sans Mento.

The problem is that you know there will never be another opportunity. DC is too rigid to even entertain some of this stuff.

There's an alternate universe out there where BATB wasn't cancelled and is now adapting Emerald Twilight, culminating in Batman and Kyle Rayner teaming up to stop Zero Hour.
