Brave and the Bold returns Mar.25, with Superman!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, it's been out for quite a while. I think back in the fall when the video game and the McD's promotion were going on. There was a coupon in the Happy Meals for it.

By the way, I did go through and pause at each shot of Bat-Mite's collection. Saw just about every Mego Batman, including a boxed Popy, Pocket Heroes, Super Softie, Die-Cast, regular boxed Batman, and the Mobile Bat-Lab. The items were not in scale to one another. The huge WB Silver Age Batman statue (that I own) only seemed to be about 6" tall! Still, what a fun show. Lots of goodies hiding in the background.

The episode tonight with Mr. Mind was pretty good.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yeah, it was fun. A very light and whimsical episode, befitting the Marvels. B&B gets what DC doesn't! I'd love to see an animated Shazam show again. It's a no-brainer for kids. Or heck, a new live action show!

I agree!

I thought I knew a lot about the Marvel Family, but who was the MSE member that resembled a gray ogre?

[Earth 2 Chris]

The gray ogre's name is Oom. I had to look it up in the original Who's Who. I think he was used in Roy Thomas' version of the MSE from All-Star Squadron in the mid-80s. He included several DC-original characters in that lineup, including Vigilante's foe The Dummy. So Oom may or may not have been an actual Fawcett villain.

So Oom may or may not have been an actual Fawcett villain.

Oom was an old Spectre foe...

[The Toyroom]

And the version of the Monster Society that Thomas used in All-Star Squadron was made up of all National/DC villains if I recall...The story being that this was Mr. Mind's first go at putting together a group (on Earth-2) before he did his more successful MSoE on Earth-S (Shazam) with the Fawcett villains...

[PNGwynne]

Thanks for the info, guys!

[huedell]

I have to admit... after all the great DCU TV stuff since the Timmverse
started way back, I never thought animated DCU could be so satisfying...
AGAIN!

Great to see Supes let loose in B:TB&TB.

Loved tonight's with The Weeper. Tim Conway did a great job doing the voice. Loved the bit with him trying to mug Ruth Buzzi's character from Laugh-In.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, that was a fun, off-the-wall episode. My son was a bit disturbed by Batman's extreme behavior. I told him it was because this was from the villain's perspective. That is probably the reason for Kamandi's odd armor in the opening, unless it came from the comics too.

The title sequence alone was hilarious.

Tim Conway did indeed do a great job. If anyone else had done that character, he'd probably just been annoying.

My first and only encounter with the Weeper was in that JLA/JSA cross-over where they met the Fawcett characters. Oddly enough, he teamed with the Earth 2 Joker!

Man, it was like an issue of the old Joker comics come to life.

[PNGwynne]

Kamandi's armor was from his comic.

The Weeper is new to me--was he really a Bulletman foe?

[Earth 2 Chris]

My only exposure to The Weeper was in the JLA/JSA crossover mentioned above. It's reprinted in Crisis on Multiple Earths vol. 4.

Man, it was like an issue of the old Joker comics come to life.

Hadn't thought of that. Good point!
