Batman The Brave and The Bold - Part 1

Batman: The Brave and The Bold was a cartoon that aired on the Cartoon Network from November 14th, 2008 until November 18th, 2011.
It was different from the usual Batman portrayal in that this Batman was not dark at all.
No, this wasn't the dark, brooding Batman, this was the science fictiony, fun Batman that was around in the 1950s and early 1960s.


Now a LOT of Dark Knight fans hated this version at first because...well because they were "Dark Knight" fans.
But a lot of them warmed up to the series over time.
Mainly because it was fun.
I mean this was not a cartoon to be taken seriously.
I dont think you would have seen a lot of musical numbers (or an entire musical episode) in Batman: The Animated Series.
Now that's not to say there were never any serious episodes.
They did the the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, the death of the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, the creation of Deadman, the death of the JSA's Black Canary, the origin of Gentleman Ghost, and B'wana Beast and the Doom Patrol both being killed in the line of duty.
The last two were especially haunting considering this was supposed to be a "kids" cartoon.

Justice League: Doom


Justice League: Doom

Have you seen the trailer for Justice League: Doom?
If you haven't, here it is....


What make this so amazing is that for this film, they got the band back together!

You have Kevin Conroy as Batman, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, Michael Rosenbaum as the The Flash, Carl Lumbly as Martian Manhunter and Superman: The Animated Series' Tim Daly as Superman and instead George Newbern which I'm kinda on the fence about.

Also they wont be having John Stewart's GL, but they will have Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan.

And one thing that makes me VERY happy is that Phil Bourassa (Young Justice) is doing the character designs.
