Batman: The Brave and the Bold Brings the Crack Again!

[theanswer]

How fitting is it that there is so much talk about sidekicks here lately and this week's episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold focuses on Dick Grayson, Roy Harper, and Aqualad? Click here for the preview.











It's the costume, Dick.

Wait, wasn't B&B Speedy still just a kid? I had a idea similar like for The Batman, with the added bonus of Donna (PLEASE LET HER SHOW UP HERE) I guess they would have trouble bring in Kid Flash, though I do hope for Impulse to show up to team up with Bats (he did gave him his name)

[theanswer]

I think we're suppose to assume the previous episode with the younger Speedy took place in the past.

Sadly they won't have Donna in the episode, and possibly not the show in general. From what I've read, there is a really harsh multi-media contract involving Wonder Woman from the Marston family that says that if she isn't the star of the show, she can't appear in it--her being in Justice League was a bit of a technicality. So if they can't show Wonder Woman, they really can't show Wonder Girl.

[theanswer]

No, the creators of the show are just avoiding A-listers.

[darklorelei]

Or it's both.

[colonel_green]

No, in fact, the Wondy mythos can't be used in guest appearances. The creators have said as much; it was also the case with all the previous animated shows in the last two decades.

[theanswer]

She was used in this episode and Wonder Woman villains appeared in JLU.

Holy crap, it's B:BatB Robin not looking totally creepy! Always thought old school Robin looked creepy and when that carried over to B:BatB it was pretty sad. So excited for this, though!


(Aqualad looks awesome!)

[darkknightjrk]

Woo! Really looking forward to that episode. :D

[mullon]

Aqualad looks a lot like Superboy.

[silverzeo]

Pre-Crisis or Clone?

[mullon]

Pre-Crisis.

[crinos]

I was hoping for the pale creepy Aqualad from Titans Year one.

what?

[shadowpsykie]

OMG Robin's shorts are IMPOSSIBLY tiny

[jelly_ace]

Aqualad is wearing short shorts andsocks! Hahahaha

[stubbleupdate]

I want to see them tackle Speedy's heroin addiction in this

[darkknightjrk]

Y'know, I was starting to say that it'll never happen--but now that I think about it, in a recent interview the producers said that they like messing with the audience's expectations, and they've said they've been able to get away with a lot of things because it's purely perceived as a "kids show." I don't think they could explicitly say "heroin," but him becoming addicted to something is fairly possible.

Ollie: Oh dear God! You're on drugs! You're really a junkie!
Roy: I said 'hooked on crack from scans_daily,' who else did you think I was talking about?

[team_mummy]

OMFG YES!

[icon_uk]

Yay! :)

[3goodtimes]

YAY!! I'm so excited! :B

[lieut_kettch]

That's the first hotpants! Robin animated appearance in more than a decade!

Too bad about the grown-up versions-- was hoping for Nightwing, Arsenal and Tempest.

[icon_uk]

I can imagine they might make a joke about that, maybe as they wander off at the end they could be excited about using new hero names.

[sistermagpie]

I love how when they grow out most of the inches gained are in the shoulders and chest.

Strange show. I thought all three boys were out of their standard DCU characters. Dick was acting like Roy, Roy was acting like Garth, and Garth—Garth!*—was strong and confident.

* Yeah, yeah, woof woof.
