Brave and the Bold Canceled, New Batman on the Way?
SDCC giveth, and SDCC taketh away. In the wake of oodles of fresh news about upcoming cartoons, comics and toys, one piece of surprisingly over-looked (at least amongst the “big” sites) is news that, as Comics Continuum reports, Batman: Brave and the Bold is winding down with production of the last 13 episodes.
Obviously this is sad news because the show has had lots of great fun, and even some great toy lines (like the Batman Brave and the Bold Action League figures. Visit the link to Comics Continuum above for more information, and some fun video as “Batman” explains showbiz to “Aquaman”. On the plus side? “Following Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Tucker will be working on a new Batman series…”, and Diedrich Bader confirms that Wonder Woman and Superman will make appearances. The fate of the toyline is obviously in doubt, but what a fun run, and who knows what we could get next time?
