When Risde of the blue beetle replays watch the beginnig closely the top shaped JLA satilite is clearly shown in the backround

I thought it was cool Plas mentioned the League
---and then of course, I did recognize the satellite in the Beetle episode
....homage or not...still a cool team working on this show.

Aquaman came across more like the Silver Age Marvel Comics' Hercules than any era Aquaman.

That's exactly what I thought! It was fun and I enjoyed it Glad he wasn't angry fishhook Aquaman .....Aqua Batsuit? can sustain even the pressures of the deep sea lol! Dear God I smell these toys coming already....

I finally saw my first episode, the Aquaman one. I really enjoyed it. It was funny, while still being a good kid friendly adventure.

While yes that is indeed an homage to the JLA satellite, for the story it isn't. It's just an international space station that Batman and Blue Beetle are trying to save.

I'm watching an episode for the first time----

It's the GRODD/PLAS episode.

I've just seen a few minutes and...I can't believe how much I think this
is REAL GOOD.

Plas---he even mentions "The League"---what a bonus----just like that
recent THE BATMAN cartoon (which I didn't care for as much as THIS)
it seems this BRAVE AND THE BOLD is running fast to involve as much of the
DCU as possible.

Right on.

The one thing I like about this series is while it has a silver age feel, it also injects some fun personality into the opposing heroes, so nobody is as interchangable as they were during that period.

Yep. That's what I was saying over at Rob's Aquaman Shrine. The DC heroes shared a personality. So much that in flashbacks, writers have had to flesh them out. Batman was always a loner, Hal was a womanizer and a bit reckless, Barry was Mr. White-bread, Ollie was always a hot-head liberal, Carter was a stuffy conservative, etc. Arthur never really got fleshed out much. They just grafted his angry-hook-hand personality on to most flashbacks. Brave and Bolds' approach isn't any less valid than that.

Excellent point. Maybe I just want Arthur to be more Hal than Falstaff--but I'm always glad to see the character.

I didn't mind the design of the character, but the characterization of Aquaman bothered me somewhat--too much the braggert for my taste.

Still, the series is toungue-in-cheek & I basically enjoy it. I did like the broadening of Arthur's powers and the ending.

[jwyblejr]

I admit I liked Aquaman calling Batman "old chum". Also liked the fact Aquaman could make weapons with water. Makes him seem less "lame". At least it should make him seem that way to little kids or so I hope.

I liked it but then I am not an aquaman fan or purist so I have no problem with him as a braggard. I loved the extra long names of his stories and the fact that he seems to have jawwed off bats ear the whole trip.

I have to admit I was leery of Bader's casting as Batman but he really works for a Sprang/finger interpretation.

[palitoy]

I loved the Aquaman as well, a big, boisterus, nobleman who was actually an effective hero as well. I've heard some people complain he was clueless but he just wanted to believe his brother could be redeemed.

I LOVED the way they did Aquaman. They kept the original look and added the beard from current story lines and then had him as if he were being played by Charlton Heston. And he didn't say "Unguard"...he said "En garde!" The whole concept of naming his adventures, that was a hilarious skewering of the 1960s comic books and cartoons.
