One of my friends online told me about this so i thought i would share it.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Announced in early 2008, an animated series based on the comic book series will be made as the next DC Animated cartoon. [2] As the title suggests, the series will feature Batman teaming-up with various characters of the DC Universe, much like the first volume of the ongoing series. Known characters to have been revealed so far are Green Arrow, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman. The series was set to start airing in Fall 2008, but was pushed back to March 2009 instead. [3]

UPDATE: The Batman-Season Five was released on DVD July 8, 2008. This season contains the Brave and the Bold storyline.

Cool trailer. Who was the woman in Green? Was that Fire? I hope DC/Cartoon Network doesn't shy away from using female heroes as guests. There is a large pool to draw from and it really sends the wrong message for them not to use them.

MZWhere did you see the trailer? and i agree it would be nice to see some female super heros but the way Batman has traditionally acted/portrayed i wouldn't hold out on anything too extreme.

Was that Kevin Conroy voicing Batman again?

Also, kind of weird seeing Green Arrow back in his Silver Age outfit but with modern era Blue Beetle. Still, if nothing else... PLASTIC MAN! Hope they do Plas justice. As far as villains go... Kite Man?! Are they SERIOUS?! But Gentleman Ghost? How cool is that?

I've read somewhere that it's actually Diedrich Bader (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0046033/). Although it doesn't seem to appear on imdb. Sounds like him though.

Yeah, it's Bader. I've seen a few casting announcements on Comics Continuum, including Tom Kenny as Plastic Man and John DiMaggio as Aquaman.

Booster and Skeets are gonna have the same VAs they had in JLU, which makes me happy inside.

Speaking of the Continuum, here's their breakdown of the show's Comic Con panel. (http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0807/25/batmanbrave.htm)

* Voice talent will include James Arnold Taylor as Green Arrow and Tom Kenny as Plastic Man.

....

* Will Friedle, the voice of Batman in Batman Beyond, provides the voice of Blue Beelte. "He's brilliant," Romano said.

* Fire will be in the show, and Tucker indicated there will be other females.

* Tucker said he is a big Justice Sociey fan and "they exist in this world."

* Black Canary will be appearing in the show, but Tucker wouldn't elaborate on what her relationship with Green Arrow will be.

I loved that preview....the love letters to so many great Silver Age talents in there, and it's in that tounge-in-cheek/serious homage style. It could be "The Tick" with a straight-man protaganist, but it'll be the vintage and modern DC humour shining through very strongly

Nobody else can voice teen clutz hero the way Fredle does....I think Blue Beetle may even be played up as the most recurring partner Bruce has on the series since he's the most recent Beetle and the new kid on the block.

Wait... "The Batman" wasn't campy???

The Batman had several dark moments, mainly all in the fourth season (thanks to the DCAU team working on it), but even prior to that season, some good stuff managed to creep in.

It was, to an extent, in the first season when they tried to hard (and to poor effect) to create something that was totally unlike the Timm stuff. But after a mixed to poor reception of the initial season, they slowly shifted the tone of the show.

It has nothing to do with memories. It's a definitive version of the Batman era of it's time and in that context is a masterpeice. Just because you prefer a different era doesnt mean others arent without merit.

The silver age had superman turning into or fighting a monkey every week. I don't doubt that batman could have been as silly as it wanted in the 60s without the show.

"Lame" about covers the 60s Batman.

And "The Batman" worked best when it was campy. It has always been a more "badass" version of the Adam West series. Never said I didn't like the show, but it was certainly decidely more campy that B:TAS.

B&B simply looks fun, something Batman desperately needs after the influence of Christopher Nolan.Reading some of the comics from that period i think the plots are better written and have more of a silly sci fi slant compared to the villian of the week shows where they would end up getting captured every week.

07-25-2008, 07:34 PM

I am looking forward to this. I something good for the little ones aren't old enough to see TDK. I love the Sprang/Kirby stylesof the show. Just cause it for kids, doesn't mean it is campy. It is just lighter in tone. There are o many versions of Batman that have been.
I loved BTAS like everyone else and it set a very high bar. The show will not compete with that, but will be entertaining.

The difference is they didn't make Batman campy just certain parts like Joker or Penguin.

Batmans best friend who was a police officer turned into Clayface and he had to save him even tho the officer wasn't thrilled on Batman.

Thats pretty serious right there.

Blue Beetle looks pretty cool.

Ilash

07-31-2008, 04:56 PM

I'm slightly in two minds about this. Or, more to the point, everything looks cool except I just love the BTAS/ JLU version of Batman so much that this strikes me as being a bit of a step in the wrong direction. You have that Batman - or something that's pretty close - mixing it up with rest of the elements of this new show and you would definitely have a winner. Right now, it's pretty much a toss up.

Incidentally, as far as the serious vs fun debate goes, this is actually a big reason why I like the Dini/Timm version of Batman so much. That version was very much the Dark Knight but at the same time, was a whole lot of fun and had a great sense of humour about him. See JLU and his interactions with other heroes, especially Superman, to see how well they pulled this off.

I am inclined to think that The Brave and the Bold would do well to play off the darker, more sardonic Batman against the lighter tone of the rest of the show.

campy
(adjective)
providing sophisticated amusement by virtue of having artificially (and vulgarly) mannered or banal or sentimental qualities; "they played up the silliness of their roles for camp effect"; "campy Hollywood musicals of the 1940's"

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Seriously, though 'camp' isn't a synonym for 'light-hearted', 'fun' or 'all-ages'.
Brave and the Bold doesn't look camp. It looks like a fun, colourful adventure series that isn't trying to be anything other than what it is.

08-01-2008, 06:24 AM

Okay not to beat a dead horse.....

But why does Romano keep casting other people as Batman when she hit a home run with Conroy? Is Kevin pursuing other things, does he not want to get tied down to a series? Or are they just being Hollywood and looking for a "new interpretation"?

Tim Daly was a great Superman too.

If The Question shows up in this series I hope they have the common sense to snag Jeffrey Coombs.

Agent Helix

08-01-2008, 06:27 AM

Because Conroy's voice doesn't fit every interpretation of the character. It was pretty out of place in that dreary Gotham Knight DVD.

Pauly T

08-01-2008, 06:35 AM

Kevin Conroy is the Batman voice, but using him for everything just would just remind people how whatever latest Batmn 'toon is not BTAS.

Bader has a great voice for Batman, and if the series is going to have a strong comedic element, he's a natural at that, too. Personally, I'm really excited to see his take on it.

I'm very glad for this approach. The only other option I'd enjoy would be if Timm and crew continued their series.

But I wouldn't like another 'dark' Batman cartoon anytime soon. It seems like they'd just be trying to capture lightning in a bottle.

I thought once Newburn hit his stride in season two of Justice League, he was pretty much THE voice, as much as Conroy is THE voice.

I also thought Newbern didn't get the voice quite right until Season 2. From then on, his work was great. However, in going back to STAS episodes, Daly still continues to sound right to me.

I was also a little surprised by how much I liked Kyle MacLachlan's take in New Frontier. I personally thought Jeremy Sisto's Batman was too deep and gruff, but Superman was spot-on.

I'd lean more toward this looking retro than camp. Remember folks, BTAS had a LOT of retro visual design elements. We shouldn't be too skeptical just yet. I'm actually more optimistic about this one being fun than The Batman based on what I'm seeing.

Absolutely, BTAS drew its inspiration from the Fleisher Superman stuff, which is at least 20 years more 'retro' than the 1960's Batman.

Blue Beatle is AWESOME! I had no idea that's what his powers are like. This is the first time in any medium I've ever seen him action and I must his episode is my most anticipated. I didn't watch the entire clip for I didn't spoil it anymore, but from what I saw he's a character who'd certainly benefit from more animated exposure. Hopefully this isn't his only appearence on the show.

After seeing what an granduer character BB is its only now dawing on me what a shame it'll be that his solo series is now being canceled. With tonights episode I learned plently about the man who's who been said to be DC's Spider-Man, and I see how someone would draw that comparison. He's funny, naive, powerful, and looks up to the more seasoned and revered heroes in his world, Batman being no exception. As a new BB fan, I would have probably thought of taking a look at his titles, but now that Blue Beetle's end is immenent, theres no point. Maybe DC should been more circumspect and have looked at this show, or this parricular episode, as a sort of launching pad for the rather widley unknown Blue Beettle and see what happens afer, for I know I'm not the only new BB fan made tonight.

11-14-2008, 09:29 PM

Well, as someone who is not a fan of the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle, I still really dug this episode. It was just a ton of fun, and I always enjoy variations on Batman's character. Except "The Batman". I really disliked that show entirely. Everything from the giant deathtrap at the beginning to the lil aliens, I just had a good time watching it. I realize that I'm not the target audience for the show, so it really says something about the writing that it can still be enjoyable to a cynical bastard like myself.

i'm a new fan of DC and i haven't read any of the the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle books. when i started getting into DC, a lot of people recommended Blue Beetle and Booster Gold....after that episode, i'm now more interested in picking up the trades which i'll probably be picking up the next time i visit the comic book shop. such a shame that it's going to be canceled...

yeah, last night's ep with Plastic Man was really fun-- with lines like "are those giant apes on flying dinosaurs with harpoon guns?!?" are tough to beat.

I actually like the bizarre not -quite- campy aspect of the show. I also like that Batman's not this unflappable untouchable hero. he can and DOES get annoyed. the scene where he contemplates ejecting Plastic Man out the middle of nowhere was hilarious.

I also liked the fact that they had Batman smile and say "I trust you". especially in light of how the character's been written to be a hyper-controlling humorless paranoid jerk. sometimes I like that take on the character--but it's nice to have a reminder that Batman's a character capable of more.

definitely gonna be watching more of this.

Why cant they just use the same animation from batman the animated series.

Well, besides all the other reasons, because it's not Batman the Animated Series.

Why cant they just use the same animation from batman the animated series. I mean I saw the animation for this cartoon and it looks like a poor copy. Plus the person that does bruce voice was he on another batman cartoon. The thing sounds way too similar. At least with the batman the animation tried to have its own style.
I actually, in a way, like the animation on this show better than on Batman the Animated Series. The fight scenes are much better animated than B:TAS. Now what you probably are talking about is more the art direction than the animation. I think both shows have good art direction and character design. The Dick Sprang art-style really works well with the mood of the new cartoon, and I liked that Plastic Man was drawn kind of in Jack Cole style. They did a real good job of animating Plastic Man too.

As for the voice of Batman, it's Diedrich Bader. Besides many on-screen roles (he's probably best well known for playing Oswald on the Drew Carey Show or Laurence in Office Space), he's done qute a bit of voice over work, including being the voice of Zeta in the Batman Beyond Spinoff, The Zeta Project, and a few different voices on The Batman.

Yeeah the Plasticman episode was jokes. Really liked the voice actor they chose for him.

Tom Kenny. Same guy who voices Spongebob Squarepants and who voiced the Penguin on The Batman, among many others.

For the same reason that they don't always get the same writer and artist to work on every Batman comic.
Because sometimes, people want something different.

Again, that's art style not animation. The animation on Brave and the Bold is much better.

No, they had a Ben 10 movie on instead I think.
