The series debuted on November 14, 2008 on Cartoon Network.^[1]

Overview

List of Batman: The Brave and the Bold episodes

Each episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold features main character Batman (in the form of his silver age persona) teaming up with other characters from the DC Universe to thwart characters or solve crimes. The show has no overarching story, instead having most episodes stand alone.^[2]

The show is purposely lighter in tone than previous Batman series, such as the critical and fan favorite Batman: The Animated Series,^[3] depicting the Dark Knight more lighthearted and playful with a "dry, ironic wit." ^[4]

Characters

Show creators have purposely chosen to go with "lesser known" characters, forgoing the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman to highlight less "A-list" characters.^[3] Additionally, Batman does not appear as his alter ego, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, during the course of the series. ^[4]
