Will Warner Animation just come out with a real DVD already?! Even if it's just the first thirteen episodes... I want something substantial.

 

[NightBeetle]

Did anyone catch the new episode of Brave and the Bold?

Did anyone catch the new episode of Brave and the Bold?

Yeah, I made sure that I saw it on time last night.

It was entertaining in a Jack Cole kind of way. I'm just going to gather that the central supporting superheroes will remain with the series for the duration.


I just want to see more Captain Marvel and the return of Bronze Tiger somewhere down the road this season.

Batman: The Brave and The Bold "Revenge of the Reach!" premieres January 1st, 2009 at 7:30pm (ET) on Cartoon Network

Blue Beetle is finally ready for a mission of his own and things go smoothly until he tries to deliver his captured villain to Oa, where he is attacked by the Green Lanterns! Blue's scarab is revealed to be linked to an army of evil aliens known as the Reach--does he have the power to resist their influence?

Their heyday was back in the 1940s, but the Justice Society of America are bringing their old-school cool back in 2010. DC Comics’ Golden Age good guys will come out of retirement in a much-hyped two-hour Smallville on February 5. “Absolute Justice” was written by comic-book superstar Geoff Johns, who helped revive the characters for DC Comics in recent years. (At one point Johns co-wrote the JSA comic with FlashForward exec producer David S. Goyer.) Click here for our interview with Smallville producer Brian Peterson for more on the event.

An animated version of the JSA—The Flash, Hourman, Hawkman, Dr. Mid-Nite and Wildcat (above, left to right)—shows up on the January 15 episode of Cartoon Network’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold. “They were basically Batman and Black Canary’s mentors,” says producer Michael Jelenic. “We see a little bit of them of from their heyday—in our world about the 1940s, although it’s not specifically stated. There’s a villain named Per Degaton, who they defeated [back then], who suddenly reappears in the present. And the aged Justice Society, with the help of Batman and Black Canary, now have to take him down before he dominates the world.”

The episode, “The Golden Age of Justice!,” also shows the role the Society played in Batman’s development. “These guys were his mentors, they taught him and brought him up in the ranks,” Jelenic says. “They’re sort of his extended parents and they treat him as such. They’re always hard on him; nothing he ever does is quite good enough. He can save the world, but their attitude is, ‘Ah, you could have done it a little bit better.’” Paging Doctor Freud!

are you still not buying the Batman Beyond sets yet??

 

[Sawyer]

are you still not buying the Batman Beyond sets yet??

Yeah, I still havent gotten around to those. I have all of the DCAU but BB and BTAS volume 4.

 

[BlackLantern]

I know you were leery of buying Beyond because you thought they were going to come out with a full series set

I plan on getting that Justice League full set (probably my BDay present to myself)

Yeah, but I doubt there's going to be one... if they havent said anything about it by now, they probably never will.

JSA in BATB is great but why no Sandman? Why no GL? They're the coolest ones...

 

[RockSP]

Sandman woulda been cool. I don't mind the GL absence.

Where's the Alan Scott love?

 

[RogueDK]

Don't know about you guys but last night's Brave & The Bold was just A great ep. The Dick Sprang Penguin!!!!

I never thought that I'd live to see the day when Aquaman is seen driving an RV cross country with family. That in itself is makes it a TOTAL WIN.


"Apples....mmmmm..." LOL!

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, great episode. Luuuuuuvvvvv the National Lampoon Vacation reference. Aquaman is soooooo awesome on here it's ridiculous.

What in hellz bells is that supposed to be?

 

[RogueDK]

Aquaman makes this show so worthwhile. I look forward to eps that he might be in every week.

I hated the Smallville tease though because for a split second, I was expecting someone else.

But it was so random that The Top would be in Smallville anyway.

No Alan Scott

 

[RogueDK]

No Alan Scott

Hourman, baby!

Can't figure out why they wouldn't include Scott though.

 

[The Caped Knight]

No Alan Scott

Prehaps it's because Alan will be in the upcoming live action movie .
