Batman: The Brave and the Bold (also known as Brave/Bold) is an American animated television series based in part on the DC Comics "team-up" series The Brave and the Bold. Like the comic series, it features two or more super heroes coming together to solve a crime or foil a super villain, but unlike the current comic, the cartoon focuses on Batman working with the different heroes.
The series premiered on November 14, 2008 at 8:00pm (eastern), on Cartoon Network, during the Friday night block, You Are Here.[1] One episode, "The Mask that Matches Malone", was omitted from Season 2’s lineup in the North America due to double entendres lurking in the song "Birds of Prey". When released on iTunes in 2011, part of the sequence is cut, making it less offensive to the attended audiences.
Overview[]
