Batman: The Brave and the Bold Debuts November 14th

Even the promo info on Direct TV said Vandal Savage was the baddy in this one.

Same thing on Tivo.

Thanks George, I knew it felt familiar but couldn't figure out why.

James tucker hit it out of the park with this one. he finally got to do his animated batman 66 for a whole story. the 50's batmobile in place of barris's in the ride to gotham was great,
the hand shake at the end (like the opening 66 show animation),
the e2 robin suit,
the shakespeare bust opens the bookcase to the batpoles
onelines and "holy" bat phrases
just awesome

these get better and better I can't wait to see batmite

The Batmite episode looks really fun, even takes a poke at the fanboys:

Check next week's episode B. Riddler at least makes an appearance in Bat-Mite's dream.

I need to see that Riddler in an epsiode badly. Riddler was my favourite villain as a kid and I had two mego figures and would act out his origin story thanks to that "Batman from the 40s to the 70s" book..

Man last nights episode was so Amazing!!!! This Batman is now classic for me.....

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yes, that opening almost made me cry. A perfect combo of the 60s TV show and the Dick Sprang Batman, my two favorite "pre-modern" interpretations. The Batmobile even made the same sounds as the Barris one!

I loved the rest of the episode too. I liked how Batman was more or less unaffected by Robin's whining, like most parents are when their kids complain of not being treated like adults. It was nice and subtly understated.

A lot of this story was based on Batman #316, and Crazy Quilt's later appearances when he sought revenge on Robin, only to take it out on the brand new kid, Jason Todd (the pre-crisis nice version)!

The Bat-Mite episode looks to be a blast! Two Bat-treats in a row. Then after that, looks like Catwoman shows up in the teaser with Green Arrow, while the bulk of the episode has Batman, Red Tornado and Major Disaster. Seems Tornado makes a young sidekick android for himself, who looks like the Tornado's original red and purple get up.

Paul Reubens is Bat Mite today apparently.

Check out that awesome Rouges Gallery!!!

Mister Freeze is made up like his first appearance as "Mister Zero". That's even the same weapon.
