Sound ridiculous? Maybe, but silly looking things can disarmingly horrible. Starro, a giant starfish from outer space. For those who don’t recognise the name, I don’t blame you. Without giving too much away, one of the recurring villains in the second series is one of my all time favourites: Starro. Of course, I’m a sucker for this sort of thing. Those who are new to Batman won’t notice or care, and most fan-boys will make a little happy sound. In addition to excellent animation and some fantastic vocal talent 2, the show re-tells classic Batman tales in new ways. Most of the shows work on multiple levels. The Brave and the Bold prefers to use less well known characters from the DC Universe (the world Batman inhabits), so we get to meet villains such as Kite Man, Eraser and Planet Master as well as the more familiar villains such as Catwoman and The Joker. Not only is full of two-fisted super hero fun, suitable for children of any age, it also uses the full range of the world Batman inhabits to bring rip-roaring stories. Animated in a style that reminds you of 60's comic books.īatman: The Brave and the Bold squares this circle quite neatly.
