Just found this thread.
I am enjoying this series. It is fun.
At comments early on about there needing to be DC cartoons aimed at the older fans, i respond with this;
Most of the toys are bought by a younger crowd, most of the advertising that pays for cartoons is aimed at a younger crowd. When they can make clearly adult aimed DC DVD animated movies, they can make more kidcentric animated TV shows and in the end both markets are better for it.
It’s a decent series. Can’t compare with anything touched by the hand of Bruce Timm, but then again what can?
lol Batman: Brave and the Bold has the corniness of a modern day Superfriends but still grounded enough to make a cohesive and entertaining show.
BTW you guys do know Bruce Timm is a big Jack Kirby fan right? His art style was inspired by Kirby’s.
Anyway Ep. 15 was pretty good and had IMO, a good Scarecrow. Scream Queen was hawt though.
Ep. 15
Oh and sad Holmes makes me sad 
Yeah, he mentions this in that Bruce Timm art book with a barbarian saving woman from a mutant octopus on the cover. Buy that book when you find it, it’s good as hell.
Didn’t know he had an artbook, will def. try and get it thanks for the heads up!
I found this baby for 4 bucks at a flea market. Helluva discount.
Caught this show a while back before I went to work. I like it.
Hearing the name ***Ghost Gentleman ***never ceases to make me laugh. Best villain name ever!
That’s Gentleman Ghost, my good sir!
It seems that I’m two episodes late.
Episode 14
Man, emo Aquaman sucks big time. For a minute there, I thought he was depressed because of some underwater girl or something, but it turns out it was a bunch of whales he didn’t save. Well, he does love his sea creatures after all.
I love how TBaTB doesn’t hesitate in amping up the campiness and ridiculousness factor in each episode; this comes true with that last bit in the end of the episode, when bringing in the Earth’s moon to Planet Ron (sp?). Not like that’s a bad thing, mind you - it just reminds itself that “Hey, I’m a cartoon, and you’re not supposed to take me seriously, dammit!”.
Which is why TBaTB is so fun in it’s own right, I guess.
Will watch ep 15 tomorrow, hopefully.
I found it more like
Ep. 14
I’m the goddamn Batman and I can do ANYTHING
So…who the hell is Blue Bowman? I asked DS, and we both tried to look him up through Wiki and comics, but neither of us found anything.
Is he a new guy?
It looks like they took the name from a old sliver-age story from a issue of ‘‘Batman Vol .1 #139’’ where a old Batman villain the Signalman change his id to the Blue Bowman. Between the ‘‘Mignola’’ Chapel reference, Etrigan speaking entirely in rhyme, and the Gotham by Gaslight costume, this may have been my favorite episode to date.
Not quite.
Episode 12 of the series
It’s an alternate universe form of Green Arrow, who is not a hero, but a villain. Much like how Batman’s evil alternate world ego is Owlman.
As for episode 15
ep 15
I chuckled a bit when Batman out-deduced Holmes; kind of a cool moment to see two of the biggest fictional detectives together.
The battle in the Netherworld/Hell was pretty well done; and it’s also interesting in introducing to the audience how did The Gentleman Ghost came to be.
Ep. 16 will be airing in a few hours, until then here’s what appears to be a teaser image for the BatMite episode!
Blue Bowman
The thing is, Red Hood and Owlman are actual Batman villains from the past (and the original Red Hood was indeed Joker). Blue Bowman, Scarlet Scarab, and Cyclone are just made up for this show.
But yeah, it’s a pretty cool show.
Haha, it looks like Bats not only has a bigger build, but an even bigger constipation problem. :lol:
BB
Yep, that seems to be the case. Probably did it for completion purposes, I guess and to make it a more flashier finish for the show’s 1st season. I personally thought it was a good move on the producer’s part.
What’s the jungle episode where Batman owns Elastic Man? I just randomly caught it on tv. lmao
Episode 2, IIRC. That’s the one where they teamed up against Gorilla Grodd.
OK, I’ve got some ‘bad news’, and believe me when I say that I am disappointed about this as you are. Apparently the next ep. was delayed til NEXT WEEK.
If the ep. gets shown in the next few days and gets leaked, I’ll let you know
