Christmas presents take a dire turn as action figures turn into action criminals. It's up to Batman (Diedrich Bader) and Red Tornado (Corey Burton) to unwrap Fun Haus' (Gary Anthony Williams) scheme in this clip from the season one episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, "Invasion of the Secret Santas!" Enjoy, courtesy of DC Kids.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a 2008 animated TV series teaming Batman with one or more other characters from DC Comics each week.
Developed for Cartoon Network, the show was a pivot away from darker, serious takes on the Dark Knight detective. Instead the series provided copious humor mixed in with stories that emphasized the high-adventure to be found in superhero comics, over the more grounded stories of the films and recent animated shows. Even Batman's costume design evoked the 1960s Batman live-action show. The gave fans the loutish, barbarian-king take on Aquaman, which has become the character's signature in recent years.
Diedrich Bader voiced Batman. He was joined by a rotating cast of guest voices including John DiMaggio as Aquaman, Paul Reubens as Bat-Mite, Henry Winkler as Ambush Bug. Even Kevin Conroy and Adam West made guest appearances.
The show ran on Cartoon Network for three seasons and spawned a direct-to-video movie sequel that teamed Batman with Scooby Doo.
