I really liked it. The show is pretty straight forward on what its intentions are. Its a kids show. Its not trying to be "dumbed down adult animation and strories". Its its own beast. I really liked the animation in it. The voice acting was pretty good as well. The story telling was kept on the most basic level. These elements worked well together. Right from the very beginning this felt like a silver age show. I loved the way Bats and Arrow were tied to the inside of that clock, with all the large gears. Jerry Robinson and Dick Sprang immediately popped into mind. The superhero pose that batman always takes is great. Also, did anyone notice that Batmobile in the beginning credits? That thing is awesome! I so want a toy of that!lol I will admit some of the kiddie one liners and goofiness made me roll my eyes a couple times, but it also made me smile at the same time. I think this show has brought a pureness back to the character and maybe with it, some new young fans. I cant wait until next Friday.

When I saw the first promotional images of the show, my hopes were not very high. But as time progressed, I started looking forward to it, but knew it wouldn't live up to past Bat-series.
But I was very impressed with the first episode of the series. Diedrich was a very good Batman, and did better than I expected. Not Conroy good, but good none the less. This show is great for any young viewer, and with the success of TDK, we may have a lot of new batfans tuning in and seeing even more DC heroes and expanding their interest even more. The Brave and the Bold series gets a thumbs up from me and I look forward to seeing more.
I do have just one complaint: the Clock King. His design was just weird.

I'm a lifelong Batfan; since 1966, I've closely followed the exploits of the Dark Knight.

It's good. It's exactly how I imagined it might be; great for the kids, and true to the '50s and 60s version of Batman. With this new show, another high-quality version of the character has been represented well. Bravo!

I thought it was OK. I thought it was a cross between BTAS and an animated version of the 60's show. Bader's voice was alright, although to me it's just an OK imitation of Kevin Conroy. Overall, not as bad as I was expecting...I would say 2 stars/4

I love the show for what it is...im not comparing this to any other show...as it is its own timeline, it's own world...considering this one of the "52" worlds of the DC Universe...Great Job!

I agree with Professor Crane's review...it was okay. I guess BTAS and The Batman (after the first couple of episodes) spoiled me when it comes to an animated Batman series. My 8-year old son really enjoyed it so I guess we'll watch it together. I'm hoping the other episodes are better than this first one.

I absolutely loved Batman: The Brave and the Bold!!! Diedrich was so awesome as Batman. Did way better than I expected. I loved the beginning with Green Arrow, where Batman says he would rather team up with him than anyone else. Too bad we only saw him for thst small segment. Also I loved how they made the Blue Beetle Batman's biggest fan, lol The theme song was one of my favorite parts, especially the Batmobile, it was wicked. Kanjar-Ro was a good villain, but I still wish we saw a Batman villain! I loved the blob people (or whatever they called them0 and their "power within". The clock king was wicked, I loved his voice. But again, it's too bad he was only in the beginning segment. Overall, I give it ten out of ten Bat-Signals, can't wait to see the next eposode.

I only caught the tail end of this episode. I like the direction the show is taking. Batman's voice was pretty good, as I thought it would be. It's going to take me awhile to get used to the animation style. The characters themselves are designed pretty well. Anyone else notice that Batman's cowl has eyebrows? I can't give a great review because I only saw the last 10 minutes, but what I saw was reassuring.

^Yeah, all of the animated versions of Batman that I have seen (with the possible exception of the Superfriends era) work with the eyes to show the emotion of the character. BTAS and subsequent DCAU series had him emote through the shape of the eye. TB did so as well, though his eyes were kind of a squashed oval shape, unlike BTAS triangular eyes. BTBATB seems to bypass the use of the "moving mask" with eyebrows that are outside the cowl. These techniques are necessary because animation tends to lack the subtlety of the real world.
