Classic Batman - I haven't enjoyed an animated Batman series as much as this since the heady days of Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s.
First things first - six episodes on this particular disc, indvidually numbered, so we must be on to season 2 of Brave & the Bold. Talk about penny pinching, though - the Batman graphic on the disc is black & white! Still, you wouldn't quibble once you'd seen the quality of the episodes contained therein;
For an old fanboy like myself, half the fun of watching these cartoons is in second guessing what will happen as, having read so many DC comics as a callow youth (and beyond), I've obviously read the same old comics as the writers themselves.
In "The Power Of Shazam" ep., which features the original Captain Marvel as published by Fawcett Comics in the '40s, the source book seems to be the 2002 DC facsimile annual, SHAZAM! AND THE MARVEL FAMILY ANNUAL No.1, with elements of the story taken from Captain Marvel Adventures #18, Teth-Adam's origin from The Marvel Family issue #1 and the inclusion here of the Sivana family seems very much influenced by the tale reprinted from The Marvel Family #10 and so on. Having digressed, the cartoon itself is absolutely terrific and alone would've made buying this DVD the proverbial no-brainer.
The other stand out episode here is "Chill Of The Night", a superb entry written by Batman: TAS stalwart and regular DC Comics Bat-scribe, Paul Dini. Again, based loosely on the main story from 1948's Batman issue #47*, telling what happened when Batman finally discovers the identity of the man who murdered his parents.... Read more ›

I got this for my grandson as he over banana he's nearly 5 he watches baton plays it in his ds and now. hescplsyibg it kbt his grandads play station . he loved film and whsts all it matter
A continuation of the B & B series. Not quite as good as some of the others but still worth watching. I was least keen on the Spectre story because the ending was almost a horror scene & the triple batmen story but Gorilla Grodd was good value (as usual).

A popular comic for many years - which enjoyed a recent revival - was the Brave and the Bold. Which saw superheroes who wouldn't normally meet in the pages of their own comics teaming up together to fight evil. And often learning life lessons as a result.
Quite often, one of the two heroes involved would be Batman.
This is the eighth volume of episodes from cartoon show 'Batman: the Brave and the Bold' which has drawn on those old comics for inspiration. The format of this being that although Batman is the star, at least one other hero will be involved every episode. Often some of the more obscurer figures from the dc comics universe.
The show does manage a neat mix of styles. Whilst it can have Batman in space or time travelling, as he would often do in 1950's or 1960's stories, it's never silly and it's also light enough and occasionally self depreciating enough, such that viewers of all ages can watch and get something out of it.
Each episode runs for twenty three minutes [approx]. The pre credits sequence in each usually takes up three of those, and often tells a self contained short story that usually has no tie in with the episode that follows and stands all on it's own. On volume seven of these, one of the pre credits sequences began a story involving Earth being invaded by mind controlling alien Starro the Conqueror, and ended with the words 'to be continued.' Said story is continued in two of the six pre credit sequences in the episodes on this volume.
Episodes are:
'Clash of the Metal Men!' where Batman meets genius scientist Will Magnus and his highly advanced crime fighting robot team the Metal Men.... Read more ›

This is a great series of DVD's I now have Vol 1-8 and cant wait for Vol 9. Every superhero that didnt quite make it in popularity terms are here fighting with Batman. Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Wildcat, The Atom, Bronze Tiger, Booster Gold(when was the last time you saw him in a comic book) Jonah Hex, and Deadman to name but a few. Super stuff you just cant beat it.
