Batman – Brave and the Bold

[stevekenson]

The New Batman: Brave and the Bold cartoon series is rocking my world (I’ve been watching it off iTunes). It’s way more of a kid’s show partaking of the 1950s Batman than the old WB Batman animated series (and way more retro and “classic” than the newer The Batman series). It has just the right mix of four-color zany, classic animation style (ala Bill Finger’s Batman), and DC Comics geekery. Plus Batman’s “thought balloon” voice-over narration is awesome. If you’re a comics geek, you should totally see it.

Gotta admit, I liked the campyness of the first episode. Maybe I'll grab the rest of them.

Sorry to say I hated. I know it meant for kids, but really doesn't show Batman intelligence. It more the pow and bam. With Batman I like the more the detective element. I just wish they made a more young-adult to adult version. Like they have with Japanese Anime. But that's me.

Diff'rent strokes and all that. I think Bats still comes off as smart in the show, but it definitely isn't the more Noir-style of the Bruce Timm animated series (which I also love, but for different reasons).

I'm also grooving on Brave and the Bold! It's on a season pass on my TiVo! :)
