In one episode, Adam West plays Bruce's dad, while folks like Kevin Conroy play Batman of Zur-en-Arrh (in a story that makes Batman into a Superman), Bruce's dad, and The Phantom Stranger, with Mark Hamill as The Spectre. One thing I like in particular is their referencing of other things Bat-related. I mean, yeah, there are a lot of silly episodes and such, and rehashed villains like Grodd again and again, but seriously, it's a good show, and if you consider it a complete homage to the Silver Era, I can't imagine the hate being overwhelming. The show should really be more accepted than it is. I love that show so much, I just wish Netflix would put the rest of the series on instant watch because I want to find out what happens in the second half of the Starro invasion, damn it!

You will keep finding little things that are references to past stuff, and I get a kick out of stuff like that. The Brave and the Bold is very much a Batman fan's cartoon, with little easter eggs and nods to the comics, the other cartoons, the 1966 series, and even the movies.

Did you really ever expect to see Kamandi ever make an appearance on TV? I doubt it, but there he was! The idea of Batman teaming up with other superheroes, often ones we've never seen animated before, to take down villains that have also received just as little screen time, is not only a refreshing spin on things but really opened them up to exploring the DC universe and having some fun. The Brave and the Bold is one of the best superhero cartoons so far, with The Animated Series/New Adventures of Batman and Robin being the only better Batman cartoons.
