Animation Wednesday: Batman: The Brave and The Bold
This post is part of the Animation Wednesday series, a weekly column which looks at animated TV series and movies of the past, present and future.
Let’s talk about Batman for a second. Batman means a lot of different things to different people. On the one hand, it’s the story of a boy, orphaned by violence at a young age, who grows up and dedicates his life to fighting crime, using the vast resources and skills he’s developed. On the other hand, it’s a story about a grown man, a millionaire ninja detective, who dresses up like a bat and goes out to beat up crooks at night, often accompanied by children. There have been a lot of different takes on Batman since he was first created in the 1930s, with varying levels of seriousness, camp, pathos and self-awareness. One that falls on the lighter end of the scale is Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which is in its third and final season on Cartoon Network.
Gentlemen, Behold!!
