As a Fan of DC Comics, I loved Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
I miss that Show.
Let me look at two notable Debuts in the wake of Superman (2025)
In this case, it is The Outsiders- Metamorpho, Black Lightning and Katana- who are attacking Malls and other Businesses.
As it turns out, they are being manipulated by a bad guy in the Sewers named Slug.
They, of course, turn on him and join the side of Justice!
In the Comics, Batman famously forms a team called The Outsiders (who let him work without government oversight in the Justice League).
Other members included Geo-Force and Halo (appearing once in Episode 41). Looker- a literal Vampire- was understandably NOT on the Show.
In 'The Eyes of Despero,' the titular Villain takes out what seems to be the entire Green Lantern Corps.
Hal's ring flies and pulls Batman to Oa to help out.
Here he teams up with G'nort, Sinestro and Guy Gardner (who were all in Holding at the time).
Naturally, they eventually stop the Villain.
Before that, however, they reenact the most famous Guy Gardner/Batman moment.
Naturally.
Two very enjoyable, but also very different Episodes.
'Enter' is a more grounded Episode with a throughline Plot about Wildcat dealing with getting older and how Batman treats him.
'Eyes' is a space-based tale with Comedy, betrayal and a literal Planet-sized Green Lantern Corps Member!
The beauty of this Show is that Batman is the only connective tissue in each adventure, be it the Opening Segments or the Main Plots.
He could be teaming up with Guy, Firestorm, Wonder Woman, Shazam or even B'wana/Freedom Beast.
He could be teaming up with Guy, Firestorm, Wonder Woman, Shazam or even B'wana/Freedom Beast.
As such, the Show managed to go three full Seasons and always keep things fresh.
Hell, my only gripe when I watch any Episode is one Credit that was legally required of them.
That said, I don't work for DC, so...
Two fun Episodes in a Show that was full of them. Any more First Appearances worth highlighting?
