![]() In the opener, we see more of Batman training The Outsiders. Green Arrow teams with Bats in the opener against The Joker and Catwoman.ĭuel Of The Double Crossers! has Old West Jonah Hex working for the intergalactic despot Mongul… that is so bizarre, my brain is about to explode. Instead of being Reddy’s “soul,” however, here the Tyrant is a transformed version of a “son” that Reddy tried to create for himself. Hail The Tornado Tyrant! gets Batman with Red Tornado, and adds a nod to the comics mythos with the introduction of The Tornado Tyrant. The opener even includes Ace The Bat-Hound and Cat-Man, so the 1960s love-fest is complete. Paul Reubens brilliantly provides Bat-Mite’s voice. Using his magical powers, he also conjures up various images of Batman, including The Dark Knight Returns, and even the nipple-suited Batman of the Schumacher films, who even Bat-Mite doesn’t like. Bat-Mite stays true to his origins as an other-dimensional admirer of Batman, who inadvertently causes Batman all sorts of headaches. Legends Of The Dark Mite! is also a great tribute to the 1960s comics, bringing Bat-Mite into the Brave And The bold universe. Earth-2 in the comics was the world that the original Batman lived in, and so this is a great nod to the show’s roots in the older Batman comics. Then, we travel to the present to find robin all grown up, living in Bludhaven (where the comics’ Nightwing used to live), wearing the costume of The Earth-2 adult Robin. Batman brave and the bold dr fate tv#The Color Of Revenge! is a fanboy’s dream, beginning with a team-up of yesteryear between Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder, showing off all the visual tropes of the 1960s TV show. Menace Of The Conqueror Caveman! starts with a Wildcat team-up against Bane before giving way to the main story, where a caveman named Kru’ll (inspired by Captain Marvel’s barbarian foe King Kull, as confirmed in a later episode) goes up against Batman and Booster Gold, the glory hog hero from the 25th Century. Black Canary appears in the opener, adding more feminine magic. The humor may seem a little close to 60s sitcom level, but it’s all in good fun, as usual. Much comedy is achieved when Huntress uses her feminine wiles on a stoically resistant Batman and a hormonal, love struck Blue Beetle. Night Of The Huntress! brings back Blue Beetle, and adds Huntress to the mix as they go up against Babyface’s mob. Of all the Flashes to choose from, it amazing that they chose Jay. The opener brings in a surprise appearance by Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash. Batman brave and the bold dr fate plus#No, the time travel angle is necessary here for batman to meet Sherlock Holmes! That, plus we see the origin of The Gentleman Ghost. Of course, he wouldn’t necessarily need to go back in time to meet Etrigan The Demon, since Etrigan still exists in Batman’s time. Trials Of The Demon takes Batman back to Victorian London to help solve a mystery. Nice to see The Question in the opening segment too! When Aquaman rises to the occasion and counsels Adam about his own self-doubts, we could all see it from a mile away, but thanks to the awesome gosh-shucks vibe of the show, it comes off as kitschy rather than corny. Aquaman is along for the ride, too, feeling unusually depressed about his prospects of doing good in the world. ![]() ![]() Sure enough, this episode features a team-up between batman and Adam Strange, mostly on the planet Rann. Older fans of DC Comics may recognize that the title refers to the first comic to hold the adventures of Adam Strange, DC’s version of John Carter Of Mars. When the first episode is called Mystery In Space!, there is an excellent chance that I’m going to be a big fan. I could end the review right there, but let’s look at the evidence. I loved the first half of season one, and the rest of the season is even better.
