Batman: The Brave and The Bold v 2.0

Gail Simone + Birds of Prey + music = Youtube clip

After watching that , it just make me love that style of animation.  The females look so sexy yet classy.  Almost like the girls you see on the side of planes in the military.

Holy innuendo batman!
The flash is too fast, green arrow might not shoot straight...come on, how did this pass censorship?
I also love the Charlie's Angels reference, but damn that tune is catchy.

How would everyone feel about B&B doing a crossover with the new scooby doo cartoon a la Scooby Doo Meets Batman & Robin from "The New Scooby Doo Movies" era?

[docdelorean88]

I WOULD LOVE THAT! That being said it would probably be a terrible train wreck, but i still love the original crossovers, so why not!

[Podmark]

Isn't Scooby supposed to be appearing in a future ep?

Am I one of the few still watching this?  I was a little surprised to see new episodes on my DVR (thought last season was the end), and even more surprised no one has commented on the Wonder Woman appearance.  I thought it was pretty cool that her theme music was pretty much pulled straight from the old TV series.  And the characterization of Steve seemed like it was pulled straight from there as well.  I especially liked Bats' line at the end of the segment.

The time travel in the most recent episode was a little on the weak side, to me.  I thought they could have chosen better Batmen to "rescue".  Did any of these other versions make appearances in the comics?  I seem to recall the robot one, but don't know from where.

I also didn't recognize the villains from either of the intro segments.  Were they particular to the other heroes?

The Wonder Woman villainess was one of Wondy's World War II foes who's occasionally popped up since.  That bit was just dripping with awesome.

Don't know who the bug from the latest episode was (and my DVR cut in late so I missed his name).

The Batmen of history... two of them (Bat Caveman, and Pirate Batman) look an awful lot like Batman's incarnation when he was careening through time after Darkseid supposedly killed him during Grant Morrison's tenure (the others BTW were puritan witchhunter, cowboy, and 20's or possible 30's detective - kinda wish they'd used those as well).  I agree, episode was okay, but not great.  The whole "future affecting the past" thing just didn't work for me, unless that Bat robot has some comic history I'm unaware of.  However, what almost made up for it...

Aquaman: I got to beat up romans!

I saw someone mention Scooby and he did appear in the Batmite episode. So many little touches made this great - one of the original episodes (the one with the house that turned upside down) had a mis-animated scene where Batman points at the villian with a bare arm with a strange ring on his finger and they recreated that. I loved Batmite changing the laws of the episode and having Scooby and Shaggy beat the tar out of Penguin and Joker.

loved that episode. alos realy liked the episode with star sapphire, one of my favorites so far.

The only episodes I've seen are the Doom Patrol ep (it was pretty great) and the one where Bat's is bitten by a vampire...But this show seems to be rooftop leaps better than The Batman series (and it seems to be on the level of Batman: TAS and Justice League in it''s awesome-ness IMHO).

Dana....Dana....and here I had gotten to thinking that you had good taste!  Ha, Brave and Bold might be fun and occassionally clever, but it is nowhere NEAR the level of Batman: TAS!

[Tomato]

... rooftop leaps better than The Batman series (and it seems to be on the level of Batman: TAS and Justice League in it''s awesome-ness IMHO).

Dana

No. No. Dana... just no. The show might be slightly better than The Batman at points(though I still contend that later seasons of The Batman were better than most of what I've seen from B&B), but it is not, nor shall ever ever EVER be on the same level as TAS, and saying otherwise is an abomination and worthy of facial stabbing.

If you want to watch a real effing DC show, watch Young Justice. 9,001 times better.

Yeah, it is definitely a better show.

[John Jr.]

People have different tastes, guys.
I think B&B it's a lot better than "The Batman", and I find it easy, because "The Batman" was just terrible IMHO.
BTAS was a take on the Bronze and Modern Age mythology, while B&B plays with the Silver Age, it's less "serious", but it's fun. I read somewhere the producers wanted to do something like "Adam West with jimmies" and they did it.
I grown up with the 60's funny Batman (here in Brazil we got a lot of 60's stories in the 70's), so B&B's version is like an old friend.

[freegentile]

Indeed. I grew up on Superfriends, Shazam live action series, George Reeves Superman re-runs, Voltron, Transformers (all the 80's shows that came on after school & Saturday a.m.), & finally Ruby Spears Superman...& then TV superheroes went by the wayside. I picked up again when my son was of age & just as they canned JLU...so I never really caught the wave w/ either Superman or Batman TAS. So I watched all the Justice League & JLU episodes, then watched the 5th season of The Batman as it came out, & loved it because I was missing JLU so much...and Batman wasn't so sullen all the time...better for kids that way...& Robin & Batgirl were hilarious. So, yes, to each his owneth. But I'm well aware that Batman TAS has a following all its own. Don't mess w/ Texas...er, no...don't mess w/ TAS 

[JKCarrier]

I think the best episodes of BTAS are better than the best episodes of B&B. But BTAS could be really uneven; we tend to remember the really good episodes, and forget the clunkers like "I've Got Batman in My Basement" or "Tyger, Tyger". B&B has been more consistent, I think...maybe not works of genius (although those Bat-Mite episodes are pretty amazing), but never less than entertaining.

Aquaman in a musical number? Sorry Benton, this episode kind of fell flat for me.

Really?!  I thought it was funny.  That's one thing I like about this one, it's campy, but not too corny.  Aquaman is one of the better heroes in the show.

[Previsionary]

Final episode has aired. What did you guys think? It was a very self aware, fun episode me thinks. It poked some fun at the people who wanted a darker Batman show, the campyness of its own universe, and even mocked Aquaman's breakout fan fave role.

[cmdrkoenig67]

Benton, Tomato...I said "it seems", did I not?

Bummed out the series is ending since I just started watching it. 

Seemed like weird episode with all the comments at the end.

[Tomato]

Ok, so, while waiting for the updates to finish on DCUO (finally gonna pick it up again, a friend of mine is starting to play) I went ahead and watched the last episode, as I'd heard a lot about it.

Now, the Lord only knows I hated this series while it was airing. Unlike some of you who grew up on Adam West Batman and with the more campy Batman, my batman growing up was always TAS... in other words, serious Batman. Granted, I've gone back and watched the Adam West stuff and enjoyed it reasonably well, but to me it was always something outdated and childish. As far as I was concerned, we'd moved beyond that... and then Brave and Bold shows up and starts beating me over the head with joke-Batman. And after sitting through a full season of it, the resent and irritation that this nonsense had replaced MY Batman caused me to more or less froth at the mouth every time someone mentioned it to me.

That said... while I cannot in good faith say that I have come to love or even like this series in any capacity... I also acknowledge that I am not it's target audience, and probably won't ever be. However, now that I've watched the finale, I have come to respect this show. It was an excellent send off, and regardless of how little I liked the rest of the show, the finale was well worth watching.

[cmdrkoenig67]

I dunno...It seemed like a fun show and I have no issue with a Batman show (or even Batman himself) having a sense of humor (or being a bit "out there").  The Silver Age Batman comics were pretty much "out there" and didn't really seem to take themselves seriously.  Comics are meant to be fun.

I am not a Batman fan, yet I found myself enjoying Batman TAS immensely, the same is true for the Justice League (both had their own senses of humor).  I personally find most DC characters extremely uninteresting and dull, but both of those cartoons made the characters palatable for me somehow.  When I first heard about the Batman BAB series, I thought, "Oh gawd...It's campy?".  I instantly thought of the 60s Batman (which I don't care for)...But watching those two episodes (and I certainly don't claim to be well-versed in the series) changed my mind, the series was a whole different animal.
