Batman’s Cartoon Love Letter A Mite Perfect

Friday ’s Batman : The Brave And The Bold abandon the familiar formula of the serial for something much more unexpected : A love letter to animation full of in - jokes , easter testis , and even dig at fanboys who do n’t delve the show ’s upbeat style . We kind of think we loved it .

give way the show ’s well - established lovemaking of easter eggs to ERA go by – Especially the design style of former Batman creative person Dick Sprang , give way full reign in the 2d half of this episode – and the past of sequence author Paul Dini , it ’s mayhap unsurprising that “ Legends of The Bat - Mite ” felt as much like a great lose Looney Tunes sketch at time as an instalment of B&B , but that did n’t detract from just how much fun the instalment was . The pre - credit possibility ( where the node - star was Ace , The Bat Hound ) should ’ve been a clue , but by the time Batman ’s fight with various imaginary vacation - themed Creation ( include mutant Easter bunnies and biker Santas ) was disrupt by a mockery of a comic - bunko game control panel where Batman fanboys complained that this Batman was n’t the grim urban retaliator they were used to , it was clear that this was the kind of instalment make out of the special mix of love , anger and comedy that made shows like Pinky And The Brain , Animaniacs and Freakazoid so enjoyable direction back when .

As much a celebration of old - school cartooning ( consummate with Bat - Mite ’s “ That ’s all , folk ! ” at the end of the episode ) as a account in and of itself – The sequence in the second one-half , wherein Bat - Mite tried and failed to take on the role of Batman , bet like something from the more surrealism - influenced cartoon of the ’ 50s , as if the Warner Bros cartoonists of the epoch tried to create something in answer to Disney ’s Fantasia – this episode was over - the - top , beautiful to look at and easily the best affair on TV for a longsighted time for cartoon geeks like me . It was also a welcome surprise , departing from the show ’s usual rule , which has been seeming a little bit more … well , formulaic , over recent weeks . It ’d be completely counter - intuitive to want more of this every hebdomad – Part of its strength was that it was so unexpected , after all – but if some of this episode ’s passion can find its way into every other episode … ? This really will cease up being the greatest superhero cartoon ever .
