Batman: The Brave and the Bold Debuts November 14th

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow. This episode was MUCH darker than any others. It almost seemed to come from a different series. I saw where J.M. DeMaittes wrote it. He seem to either be BWAHAHA or deadly serious. I think it's good to throw some substance in every once and a while. It was a bit of a downer though.

Loved the over-the-top intro (which did seem to belong to the series). I do think the GA car has a bit of the Mego design influence in it. I think the Joker's hot air balloon crash into the statue of Justice's sword may have been a bit of a nod to The Batman series, where the Joker's blimp did the same in an early episode (maybe even the pilot?).

this week was a little blah but I guess when the costar is a robot what can we ask for. the opening bit with Arrowcar and batmobile vs jokermobile was better

[MEMEGO]

does anyone have these episodes on r-dvd? if so please let me know i have not seen any of them and i dont have cable. thanks.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I must admit, my son remembered the male Harley reference first. And he's 7!

Oh, and Newsarama's reviewer agreed that Joker and Harlely were supposed to be Timm and Dini.

Chris

Yeah, it did look like Timm. And the guy dressed as Harley may have been Dini. He also looked just like a guy dressed as Harley on an episode of BTAS when Joker was planning on replacing her ("Joker's Millions", I think).

Chris

dead on

I thought the convention scene was hilarious!! Question was the Joker fan who said Meh! an animated Bruce Timm?

I think so an amalgam of him as the madbomber and the JOKERZ leader (both of which he voiced)

liked bader voiceing the Kevin smith silent bob batman from mallrats

[jds1911a1]

Absolutely--and Killer Moth, too!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Bat-Mite episode, this show is really growing on me. The costume critique & the fan convention scenes were hilarious.

(Are the Mite's legs usually bare? I thought he wore tights.)

shorts an booties is the way he appears in the 70's show, I have to check my batman in the 50's to verify for comics

We have been fans since episode 1. I keep trying to point out the references in the background until my 3 yr old son says "Quiet Daddy please."
I have tried to stop doing that the first 3 or 4 times they watch an episode.

[Godzilla]

Just the best and my kids loved it.

[Brue]

this show was pretty good for the most part until the past 2 episodes Robin and Batmite - those were awesome!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, it did look like Timm. And the guy dressed as Harley may have been Dini. He also looked just like a guy dressed as Harley on an episode of BTAS when Joker was planning on replacing her ("Joker's Millions", I think).

I think so. It looked like one of the caricatures he's done of himself.

That would be funny if it was!!!

I've got all of these recorded and I love the show, but this is the first one that I have watched multiple times. I'm not schooled enough to catch all of the references and homages, but what I have caught is just gold. This really was one made for fans. I loved the homage to BTAS! That was hard to miss.

I liked the convention too. Loved the long list of stuff that's suppose to be there and at the bottom it says "and tiddly winks."
