TV show description:
The caped crusader is a force to be reckoned with on his own but, when Batman (Diedrich Bader) ventures beyond Gotham City limits and joins forces with other heroes, the villains don’t stand a chance. Based on the printed DC Comics series, The Brave and the Bold, this animated show features Batman as he teams up with other heroes from the DC Universe.
Filled with non-stop action and adventure, the series has a considerably lighter feel to it and even makes occasional references to the campy Batman series from the 1960s. And yet, it still touches on darker topics, retelling the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, the death of The Blue Beetle (Wil Wheaton), and the assassination of Boston Brand who then became Deadman (Michael Rosenbaum).
Working with heroes like the new Blue Beetle (Will Friedle), Green Arrow (James Arnold Taylor), Aquaman (John DiMaggio), Adam Strange (Michael T. Weiss), Plastic Man (Tom Kenny), Wildcat (R. Lee Ermey), a now grown-up Robin (Crawford Wilson), Sherlock Holmes (Ian Buchanan), and countless others, Batman faces situations that are both unfamiliar and exhilarating.
With formidable foes around every corner, Batman still relies on his stealth, resourcefulness and limitless supply of cool gadgets to bring justice home. Classic comic villains that the heroes encounter include Catwoman (Nika Futterman), Two-Face (James Remar), Black Manta (Kevin Michael Richardson), Psycho-Pirate (Armin Shimmerman), Crazy Quilt (Jeffrey Tambor), Sportsmaster (Thomas F. Wilson), Kanjar Ro (Marc Worden), and the dangerously mischievous Bat-Mite (Paul Reubens).
