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.
