Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E23

Episode Title:  “When OMAC Attacks!”

Original Air Date: October 16, 2009

So, at this point I had forgotten that this season had a (sort of) over arching story centered around a (sort of) original, mysterious villain. Just as we go into the final few episodes of the season we get a nice invigorating shot in the arm from the character with much yet to be discovered, Equinox. I had reached a point where I was just trying to grind out the season, but now I am actually curious about what will happen next.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E22

Episode Title: “Last Bat on Earth!”

Original Air Date: June 19, 2009

So we have time travel again. I don’t mind an occasional time travel story, but I do get annoyed when it is used too liberally or in an undisciplined manner. This is at least the fifth incidence of time travel so far this season, but I guess it’s an unavoidable necessity in order to showcase the many crevices of the DCU.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E21

Episode Title: “Duel of the Double Crossers!”

Original Air Date: June 12, 2009

A time traveling cowboy walks into a galactic saloon. That’s not the setup to a corny joke, that’s the setup to the adventure we have this episode. Throw in a gladiatorial arena, sibling rivalry and a slew of new gods and what do you get? Read on to find out.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E20

Episode Title: “Hail the Tornado Tyrant!”

Original Air Dance: June 5, 2009

When I saw the title for this episode I thought we were going to see some kind of computer glitch cause Red Tornado to take a “heel turn”, but that isn’t quite what happened. Though there were a lot of liberties taken, this episode did pay quite a bit of homage to Red Tornado’s, strange, interesting and somewhat confusing history.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E19

Episode Title: “Legends of the Dark Mite!”

Original Air Date: May 29, 2009

It’s quite the unplanned coincidence that the same week that Bat-Mite #1 is released by the new DC You, I review the first appearance of Bat-Mite in Brave and the Bold. This imp from the 5th dimension has a ton of potential for this series, but the question is will he be used to his fullest, or seem like a gimmick.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E18

Episode Title: “The Color of Revenge!”

Original Air Date: May 22, 2009

The phrase “Dynamic Duo” is as firmly entrenched in Batman lore as “the Dark Knight”, and of course it takes two to form a duo. In this episode we finally get to meet Robin (Dick Grayson), the second part to that duo, and in at least some people’s opinion, perhaps Batman’s better half.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E17

Episode Title: “Menace of the Conqueror Caveman!”

Original Airdate: May 15, 2009

There was a time in comics when post-modern, self aware heroes were very popular, and one of the best of them was Booster Gold. This episode gives us a nice big dose of Booster with a good mix of humor, action and morality. Does it work well in this series? Read on to find out.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S:01 E:16

Episode Title: “Night of the Huntress!”

Original Air Date: May 8, 2009

Last week we were “treated” to a Sherlock Holmes story, this week we are taken on a brief foray into Camp. Camp has been a solid part of the Batman mythos ever since Adam West donned the cowl in 1966, this week we get to see what kind of camp The Brave and the Bold’s Batman can serve up (one would hope with a side of cheese)

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E15

Episode Title: “Trials of the Demon!”

Original Air Date: March 20, 2009

So I guess they’ve explored most every other type of story already in the first season of the show, so naturally the next step is a Sherlock Holmes story. I’ve got to admit that I didn’t see that coming, but I am a fan of Holmes, so maybe I’ll like this story. Then again, maybe I won’t.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E14

Episode Title: “Mystery in Space!”

Original Air Date: March 13, 2009

After a nice two part story, the series brings us back to the comfortable format that we have come to expect with this show. Additionally the creators have brought back a favorite guest hero along with throwing in a couple of new faces (as well as one character with absolutely no face at all)
