I flipping love “Batman: the Brave & the Bold!” I love how it’s so light hearted & fun with its dinosaur-riding gorillas, awesomely hammy king of the seas, and transformer batmobiles. I also love the fact that it uses Batman’s popularity to introduce the mainstream public b-list & c-list characters from the DCU. For some, like Blue Beetle, Kamandi, & the Metal Men, this marks their first animated appearance. Others like Booster Gold, Vixen, & Jonah Hex got to make their debut in the DCAU. Then there are the heroes who actually had their start decades ago and you might be surprised who came first and where. After the jump, join me for THE DEBUT OF THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD!
