Batman: The Brave and the Bold/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

== Batman ==

[[File:BB_Batman.png|frame]]

The quick-thinking straight man in the action-packed and often hilarious world of The Brave and the Bold, Batman is relentless in his pursuit of justice and infinitely patient in his dealings with quirky guest stars and sidekicks. This Batman isn't the brooding Dark Knight we've come to know in recent years but is equally fast with a dry joke or a flying Batarang.

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Take a guess.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: Uses these often

* [[Clear My Name]]

* [[The Comically Serious]]: Batman's lines and the situations he gets into are often incredibly absurd, but he never shows any sign of letting [[The Stoic]] image slip.

That was an ape, driving a cab. }}

* [[Cool Car]]

* [[Invincible Hero]]: To the point that it gets [[Lampshaded Trope|lampshaded]].

* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: In "Emperor Joker!".

* [[Meta Guy]]

* [[Ninja]]

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]

* [[Straight Man]]

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Superhero]]

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Depending on the team-up. If it's [[Booster Gold|Booster]] or [[Plastic Man|Plas]], this ''will'' occur.

* [[Workaholic]]: Ted considers him more of a "work friend" next to Booster's "fun friend". Bats has no idea what he's talking about. "What's more fun than fighting crime?"

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: The hammer of justice is unisex.

 

[[File:BB_Atom.png|frame]]

An Asian-American scientist whose costume allows him to shrink himself (and others) down in size, up to microscopic size. In the comics he's a [[Legacy Character]], having inherited the costume from the previous wearer, Ray Palmer. He's the type to solve everything by thinking first, but at least once lost his composure and went into an [[Unstoppable Rage]].

* [[Adorkable]]: And how.

* [[Asian and Nerdy]]

* [[Legacy Character]]

* [[Not That Kind of Doctor]]: Is introduced when AQUAMAN calls on him to help an ailing Batman, leading to this exchange:

'''AQUAMAN''': A ''[[Comically Missing the Point|hero]]'' doctor, through and through!<br />

'''Atom''': ...a ''physicist''. }}

AQUAMAN's [[Boisterous Bruiser|fun to be around isn't he?]] Trying having to work with him on a full time basis. Aqualad is the sidekick to the king of the seas, and doesn't get the respect he deserves.

 

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Chew Toy]]: His role in Aquaman's sitcom.

* [[Diving Save]]

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: A minor case. Speedy and Robin appeared in an episode each before "Sidekicks Assemble!". Aqualad only got a mention.

[[File:BB_Aquaman.png|frame]]

Both valiant and vainglorious, AQUAMAN is the barrel-chested King of [[Atlantis]] and, in his own eyes, is as heroic as they come. Fearless and loyal, AQUAMAN is the first to answer when duty calls, and he relishes the glory of the fight. He has the disposition of a hearty Greek God and the ego and brawn to match.

* [[Adaptational Badass]]

* [[Badass Beard]]

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: AQUAMAN found it odd that Adam Strange could be so jovial in the face of danger.

** In "Powerless!"

'''AQUAMAN:''' Impressive! But he should try mixing a little humility with those superpowers. Like I do! ''(rather smug smile)'' }}

* [[Idiot Hero]]

[[File:BB_Btmn_Zur-En-Arrh_6350.png|frame]]

Tlano is a reporter of the Solar Cycle on the planet Zur-En-Arrh. He is also that world's version of Batman. He wears a Batman costume consisting of gaudy, outlandish colors.

* [[Animal Motifs]]

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Voiced by the [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman]] of the DCAU.

* [[Human Aliens]]

* [[Kevin Conroy]]

 

===Bat-Mite===

[[File:BB_Batmite.png|frame]]

A creature from the Fifth Dimension, he is Batman's biggest fan. He kidnaps him to shape him into a better hero. Some of this includes figuring out which villain to fight Batman, spicing up the fire-power of the bank robbers and Calendar Man, and even toying with Batman.

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]

* [[Composite Character]]: Several storylines give him more in common with Mr. Mxyzptlk, a similarly-powered but rather less well-intentioned foe of [[Superman]]. For instance, it's Mxy's powers that Joker steals to become omnipotent in the comics, {{spoiler|and in [[Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?]], his efforts end Superman's [[Silver Age]] incarnation.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]}}: In "Mitefall!", {{spoiler|Bat-Mite gets the show cancelled to get a [[Darker and Edgier]] Batman show. But in doing so, he erases himself from reality since in a dark Batman show, he wouldn't be needed due to being too silly a character.}}

* [[Loony Fan]]: He's a caricature of every single Batman fan in existence.

* [[Reality Warper]]

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Bat-Mite's real name.

[[File:BB_BCanary.png|frame]]

Black Canary is a superheroine with hand-to-hand combat prowess and a supersonic scream. She appears in most prominently in th the episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister!"

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Audio Erotica]]: The Music Meister was impressed by her singing voice, [[Fetish Fuel|as was the fanbase]].

[[File:BB_BBeetle.png|frame]]

El Paso, Texas native Jaime Reyes thought the closest he would ever get to Batman was the posters adorning his walls, but when a mysterious alien technology device turned him into the hero Blue Beetle, the fanboy's wildest dreams became a reality. Jaime can't help but tackle every mission with wide-eyed wonder and brings a youthful buoyancy to even the toughest fights.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: It's [[Batman Beyond|not the first time]] that [[Will Friedle]] has been cast as a teenage [[Legacy Character|Legacy Superhero]] mentored by Batman.

* [[Animal Motifs]]

* [[Expressive Mask]]

* [[Kid Appeal Character]]

* [[Legacy Character]]

* [[Superhero]]

* [[The Unintelligible]]: His living costume, not him.

* [[Upgrade Artifact]]

* [[Will Friedle]]

===[[Blue Beetle]] (Ted Kord)===

Before Jaime Reyes, Ted Kord was the second man who assumed the name of Blue Beetle becoming the major hero of Hub City. Unlike Jaime, Ted had no acess to the power of the Blue Scarab, but in the other hand he could create useful gadgets based in the technology of the Scarab to combat crime. Considered by Batman and Booster Gold as their best friend, Kord perished in a mission which he prevented {{spoiler|his megalomaniac uncle}} to dominate the world. Alongside Batman, Jaime considers Ted as a big influence to he become a superhero himself.

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Since he couldn't use the Blue Scarab, he created gadgets based in the device to assist him against crimefighting. He is also the one that elaborates the plan to stop the Madniks after they were turned into overpowered energy-consuming monsters.

[[File:BB_BGold.png|frame]]

A mere janitor in [[The Future]], Booster Gold was clever enough to know that technology that was commonplace in his home era would be enough to make him superhuman in the bygone times of the 21st century. So he stole a strength-enhancing flight suit and a [[Robot Buddy]] named Skeets, and headed into the past with the express intention of making boatloads of money as a famous superhero. It hasn't quite worked out that way, as he doesn't seem to realize that you have to do actual heroing to become a famous superhero. Note this is different from his comic book origins, where despite being a glory hound he's still a good hero.

* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: So of course he gets put up against [[Brainy Brunette|The Riddler]] in the teaser for "A Bat Divided".

* [[Flashback Twist]]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Despite his glory hounding and even trying to make out Batman as his sidekick, he is shown to be a devoted friend to Ted Kord.

* [[Man Child]]: Fights Blue Beetle for the bottom bunk, [[Casanova Wannabe|acts like a twelve-year-old around girls]], and takes on a vampirised Batman with a super soaker.

* [[Robot Buddy]]: Skeets.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]

'''Batman''': Maybe you've just never had anything worth fighting for. }}

 

===Bronze Tiger===

[[File:BB_BTiger.png|frame]]

* [[Animal Motifs]]

* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]

===B'wana Beast===

Masked wrestler who gained superpowers from exposure to toxic waste, he became an eccentric but self-doubting hero. His power to merge two animals into one being was strange even by the show's standards (and became a major plot point in the Starro story.) Had a romantic relationship with African superheroine Vixen. Sadly he died saving the world.

* [[Biological Mashup]]: As a ''super power!''

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]

 

Ten-year-old Billy Batson was chosen by the wizard Shazam to wield his power to defend the world from evil. By speaking the wizard's name Billy is transformed by a bolt of magical lightning into the adult superhero Captain Marvel, the World's Mightiest Mortal. Batman, sympathetic to Billy due to their similar origins (both were orphaned at a young age), helped reunite Billy with his sister. Captain Marvel has also helped Batman out on several cases, most notably against Starro and the Faceless Hunter. Recently joined the Justice League International.

* [[Adult Child]]: Literally true in Billy's case, as his mind is still in control of the Captain Marvel body when he transforms. This is never more evident than we we see the adult Cap overcome with childlike glee at the thought of seeing a triceratops exhibit, or B'wanna Beast using his powers to merge animals.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Dr. Sivana and Black Adam

* [[Black Bead Eyes]]: As befits his original character design, but very distinctly different from the other heroes.

* [[By the Power of Grayskull]]: "SHAZAM!"

* [[Captain Superhero]]

* [[Chest Insignia]]

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Black Adam, who showcases just how powerful he is by casually defeating Batman.

* [[Flying Brick]]: The first one to appear in the show.

* [[Henshin Hero]]: Billy goes from a completely powerless ten year old to a physical god with one magic word.

* [[Jeff Bennett]]: As Captain Marvel.

* [[Legion of Doom]]: The Monster Society of Evil

* [[Older Alter Ego]]

* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Toned down to the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man, replacing Lust with Injustice due to this being a kids show.

 

Magic-using hero, servant of the [[Order Versus Chaos|Lords of Order]]. His personal teacher was Lord Nabu. Lives in an invisible tower that can only be entered by magic. His symbol is the ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life. Batman taught him boxing.

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: He may be a powerful sorcerer, but he learned to fight ''just in case.''

* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: Actually it's on ground level, but invisible. May also be [[Clown Car Base|bigger on the inside than outside]].

* [[Magic A Is Magic A]]

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]

 

===[[Elongated Man]]===

One of the two stretchiest superheroes, Elongated Man puts his powers to use as a private detective. He's developed a rivalry with Plastic Man, whom he views as an uncultured brute.

* [[Hero with an F In Good]]: He's [[Character Development|working on it.]]

* [[Superhero]]

===[[Etrigan]]===

Jason Blood is a dabbler in the arcane arts and occasional occult consultant for Batman. He's also an immortal from Camelot with the soul of the demon Etrigan inside him, which he can bring out with a rhyme.

* [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Breath Weapon]]

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]

* [[Dee Bradley Baker]]

* [[Magic Knight]] Literally. In human form, Blood is both a skilled swordsman and a sorcerer.

* [[Noble Demon]]

 

Fire is a Brazilian superheroine with the ability to shoot fire, and ally to Batman. Fire helps Batman and Plastic Man when Gentleman Ghost robs a bank in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead celebration. She is later invited by Batman to join his new League.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Girliness Upgrade]] / [[Fan Service Pack]]: Her cameo appearance has her looking very tomboyish, but by the time of "Darkseid Descending" she's changed to her more alluring comic-book incarnation.

===[[Firestorm]]===

On a field trip to a nuclear laboratory, science student Jason Rusch and the trip's chaperone, none-too-bright football coach Ronnie Raymond, are caught in an accident engineered by Dr. Double X to increase his power, fusing them into the hero Firestorm.

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Jason Rusch.

* [[Jerk Jock]] ([[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|but not too jerkish]]): Ronnie Raymond, a grown-up version of the original comic book character.

===[[The Flash]] - Barry Allen===

The resident hero of Central City, also known as the Scarlet Speedster, Barry Allen gained his ability to run at incredible super-speed after a lightning bolt struck a shelf of chemicals in his laboratory at the local police department late one night. Now the Fastest man Alive, he donned his famous scarlet costume to combat crime.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|forced to run on a Cosmic Treadmill for ''who knows '''how long'''''. He's been missing for what could potentially be up to two years, but since he's imprisoned in the future, it's ambiguous if he's been that way for more or less.}}

* [[Legacy Character]]: The second Flash.

===[[The Flash]] - Jay Garrick===

One of the oldest heroes around. Jay Garrick is the original Flash and was a member of the Justice Society with Wild Cat.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[Mentor]]

* [[Super Speed]]

 

===[[Green Arrow]]===

[[File:BB_garrow.png|frame]]

The expert marksman is as dedicated to competition as Batman is to the preservation of justice. Green Arrow never misses a chance to one-up his DC Super Hero compatriots (though never at the expense of the mission) and gets great pleasure out of stoking the fires of his perpetual rivalry with Batman. After all, it just makes them better heroes, right?

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: What? Batman's soul is out of its body and possessed my sidekick? Oh, that's crazy.

* [[Color Character]]

[[File:BB_Gnort.png|frame]]

He, Sinestro, and Guy Gardner call Batman to space to help track down many Green Lanterns who are missing in action after a battle with Despero. His backstory is the same as originally presented in the comics, as Sinestro mentions G'nort's uncle had "pushed" him through Lantern training. He later proves vital for helping Batman stop the brainwashed Mogo. After Batman compliments him twice and helps G'nort earn the respect of the Corps, he jumps into his arms to lick him, only to get a reprimand ("No licking."). It is also shown that he cannot fully memorize the Green Lantern motto and was only able to do so by reading it form a "cheat sheet" he had written on his left wrist. Even with this "cheat sheet", his lack of intelligence is shown; he misspells many of the words, including "Green".

* [[All Up to You]]

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]

[[File:BB_GuyGardner.png|frame]]

Guy Gardner is the hot-headed member of the Green Lantern Corps. His antics caused a K'Vellian prisoner to go on a path of destructive rage, but thanks to Batman, the prisoner was stopped and he has Guy clean up the mess it made. He reappears in "The Eyes of Despero" to help Batman overthrow the alien dictator Despero. He, Sinestro, and Gnort create a Bat-armor for the job upon him requesting that he come along. When he sees Sinestro attempting to blow up a rogue Mogo, they do battle, with Guy winning.

* [[Green Lantern Corps]]: Must this be explained?

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

 

The Huntress is a masked vigilante, and ally of Batman. She first appears in "Night of the Huntress!", where she helps Batman and Blue Beetle III battle Baby Face. Her civilian identity is Prof. Helena Bertinelli, a teacher at Gotham City University.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Switches between type II and III.

[[File:BB_PlasMan.png|frame]]

Reformed petty thief Eel O'Brian got a second lease on life as a flexible former felon working at Batman's side. The rubbery shape-shifter is part one-man comedy show, part malleable merchant of justice, doling out wisecracks and hard knocks with haphazard glee. And while the call of cash still rings in his ears, the little Batman on his shoulder yells much louder.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type 1. Believes strongly in morality and justice, but is still sometimes distracted by his craving for money.

* [[The Atoner]]

* [[Hot Dad]]: Will you deny it?

* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: His attention is often dragged away from the original purpose and shifted to riches when there are some involved.

* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: Often swayed by temptations, most prominently the desire for wealth, but he has also been shown to [[Eye Pop|react]] [[Something Else Also Rises|appropriately]] and flirt with attractive superheroines, despite being married with a child.

* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Has a tendency to touch and grab other people a little too much.

[[File:BB_Question.png|frame]]

An endless conundrum of a person, the Question hides his identity from the world but never his inquiries. He's quick to find the conspiracy in even the most minute of things.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|In ''Darkseid Descending!'' he operates the Boom-Tube which sends all the invaders back from whence they came.}}

* [[The Faceless]]

[[File:BB_RTornado.png|frame]]

John Ulthoon lives in a suburban neighborhood, wears his slippers and robe when picking up the morning paper, and has a respectable job as the [[Adventurer Archaeologist|Professor of Archeology]] at the local community college. He's also a robot. His suburban veneer, of course, is a cover for his hero alter ego as [[Red Tornado]]. In Batman, he sees not only a partner, but also someone who can teach him more about humanity, of which he strives to both understand and be a part.

* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]

* [[Blow You Away]]

[[File:BB_Robin.png|frame]]

 

* [[Bat Signal]]

** Dick was pretty sick of taking orders by the time he reached this age too, especially after serving as leader of the Titans

** The double spitcurls were also a classic part of Dick Grayson's Robin look all the way into the Silver Age.

 

[[Adam Strange]] is a human space adventurer who defends the planet Rann. He is married to Alanna, a native of the planet. He asks Batman and Aquaman for help in "Mystery In Space!" when the Gordanians attack Rann. The Gordanians capture his wife Alanna when the effects of the Zeta Ray wear off on him (which teleports him back to Earth). He goes in to rescue her after his confidence is rekindled by Aquaman.

* [[Captain Obvious]]

* [[I Want My Jetpack]]

* [[Large Ham]]: Capable of out-hamming AQUAMAN.

* [[Power Incontinence]]: He can never seem to get the Zeta Beams to work in his favour.

 

 

 

Sherlock Holmes carries a cane, which is also a scabbard for his hidden sword. He used this sword in "Trials of the Demon", while he says "As you see, my reflexes are as sharp as my mind! And my blade even sharper!"

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: OK, so it's technically an ''Inverness'' coat.

* [[Nice Hat]]: The signature deerstalker cap. Inappropriate as city wear for any respectable gentleman, but it's impossible to think of the character without it.

===Dr. Watson===

Watson is Holmes' partner in detective work. He aids Sherlock in his cases, though Holmes does playfully mock him by telling him not to be an idiot when he guesses wrong many times. An example of one being a supernatural case when Gentleman Jim Craddock (prior to becoming Gentleman Ghost) was stealing souls in exchange for immortality.

* [[Public Domain Character]]

* [[The Watson]]: Well...

[[File:BB_Speedy.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: When Green Arrow apologizes for being "a little harsh", Speedy corrects him by saying he's been a jerk. This surprises his mentor a lot, given the harsher, more confident tone the usually chipper sidekick has.

* [[Expy]]: Of the Adam West era Robin.

 

A crime fighter from a bygone era who originally taught Batman how to box, as seen sparring with Batman at the start of the episode, Wildcat is a gruff and feisty crime fighter who is slightly depressed that no one wants to come and learn boxing from him nowadays. He helps Batman in his fight against the Outsiders when they attack a shopping mall, and are apparently working for a gross mutant named Slug. They later find Slug's hideout, but ended up captured and are about to be fed to his giant mutant snapper turtles. Due to trash talking, Slug released Wildcat, but left Batman for the giant turtles in a deep pit. Wildcat fought against Slug while Batman escaped the pit. Wildcat defeated him and threw him in the toxic waste-filled river, which mutated him into an even larger, tentacled freak. Wildcat managed to convince the Outsiders not to consider themselves freaks, saying that he used to be an 'outsider' when he was younger. When Slug emerged from the polluted river, the Outsiders joined Batman in defeating him when Wildcat suffered a heart attack. With advice from Katana, Black Lightning and Metamorpho reactivated Wildcat's heart. Wildcat later trains the Outsiders in boxing. Wildcat later helps Batman fight Bane at the beginning of "Menace of the Conqueror Caveman!"

* [[Animal Motifs]]

* [[Badass Grandpa]]

===Proto===

A prototype robot designed by Batman, but found him too big to be practical. Confined to the Batcave until he proved useful in stopping Black Mask's attempt to destroy Gotham City. Currently stationed on the moon, warding off potential alien invaders.

* [[Adam West]]

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: "War on Evil" Mode

* [[Gentle Giant]]

 

===Damian Wayne===

A "what-if" character in this series, Damian would be the son of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (instead of Talia al Ghul like in the comics). After his parents are murdered, he first takes up the Robin identity to assist Dick Grayson (the new Batman). He eventually becomes Batman himself once the timeline reaches the approximate era of ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'', fighting [[Frank Miller]]'s mutant gang. Has a child of his own, who looks a whole lot like Carrie Kelly and becomes his own Robin.

* [[Alternate Universe]]

* [[Composite Character]]: Of just about every known or potential offspring of Bruce Wayne:

** Has the name and general appearance of Damian Wayne, current Robin, Batman's Modern Age son with Talia al Ghul.

** Has (briefly) the snappy [[The Seventies|Seventies]] wardrobe of [[wikipedia:Super-Sons|Batman, Jr.]]

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]

===Ice===

Ice is Fire's airheaded, naive best friend who joins the new Justice League along with Fire. Like her name already says, she has the power to create and control ice.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[The Ditz]]: Among other things, she thinks the New Gods of Apokolips are the Greeks, whom she hates for some reason, and in "Shadow of the Bat" she figures the League is having a sleepover party while in reality the vampire Batman just wants them all together so he can get them at once.

===[[Superman]]===

Clark Kent: mild-mannered reporter, alien crimefighter, and one of Batman's best friends. Due to some red tape, the series' creators were unable to get the rights to the Superman franchise, leading to a bunch of [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] appearances throughout season 2 instead. By season 3, Superman could be included, and he duly gets [[A Day in the Limelight]] in the season's very first episode. When exposed to red Kryptonite, [[Memetic Mutation|he turns into a real di...]] [[Last-Second Word Swap|ferrent person]].

* [[Flying Brick]]

* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: Ironic, huh?

 

===[[Krypto the Superdog]]===

Superman's pet dog.

* [[Canine Companion]]

* [[Evil-Detecting Dog]]: Immediately noticed when Superman has gone crazy due to {{spoiler|the effects of Red Kryptonite}}.

===Uncle Sam===

A patriotic superhero who derived his powers from the patriotic feelings of the American people. Leads a group of similar flag-wavers called the Freedom Fighters.

* [[All-American Face]]

* [[Badass Grandpa]]

* [[Eagle Land]]: Type 1.

 

A group of teenage superheroes (loosely based on [[Batman and the Outsiders|a DC Comics superhero team]]) consisting of leader Black Lightning, swordswoman Katana, and goofball [[Shape Shifter]] [[Metamorpho]]. They started out as a gang of teenage criminals being manipulated by the villainous Slug. After Wildcat took down Slug in a boxing match, he and Batman convince them to battle Slug and use their powers for good. They then became heroes, with Wildcat as their [[Mentor]]. Their second appearance had them trapped and attacked by the Psycho-Pirate, with Batman coming to their aid, and in the [[Batman Cold Open]] for "Requiem For A Scarlet Speedster!" they show up as young adults with two new members on their team (Geo-Force and Halo).

 

[[File:BB_BLightning.png|frame]]

 

He is the apparent leader of the trio, leading them on an attack of a shopping center. He has the power to manipulate electricity. His outfit is a blue hoodie with yellow lighting bolts on it, and black cargo pants. Though somewhat confused and angry at the world, Black Lightning doesn't give the appearance of being evil. After Batman and Wildcat infiltrate their underground headquarters and defeat their monstrous leader, Slug, Black Lightning uses his electricity to save Wildcat's life, with instruction from Katana, to jumpstart the elder's heart when he suffers a cardiac arrest. He is seen at the end of the episode boxing with Wildcat. In the teaser for "Duel of the Double Crossers!", he reveals that he has an afro-style haircut underneath his hood.

** Though the last one was justifiable, since he was wearing his new shoes.

* [[Magical Defibrillator]]: in "Enter the Outsiders!"

 

[[File:BB_Katana.png|frame]]

 

The lone female in the Outsider's trio, she has no super powers, but is a highly skilled martial artist and swordswoman. Katana is generally silent (stating to her friends that "you know how I hate to repeat myself"), typically letting her actions speak for her. After Batman and Wildcat convince her and the Outsiders to turn against their monstrous boss, Slug, Wildcat suffers from a heart attack, causing Katana to take charge of the situation, and speak. She instructs Black Lightning to jumpstart Wildcats heart while Metamorpho becomes oxygen to fill his lungs in order to revive him. She is later seen at Wildcat's gym, dumping out one of his 'Tiger Tonic's (composed of tuna, bananas, raw eggs and tabasco sauce) into a nearby house plant (It should be noted that Batman did this earlier in the episode, and the plant died instantly). Her appearance is that of a teenage Japanese girl in a red skirt and yellow shirt, two shurikens in her hair and she always carries a sword with her.

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Her sword slices through metal and concrete.

** [[A Wizard Did It|It's a magical weapon]].

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]

* [[The Other Darrin]]: In her debut appearance, her few lines were voiced by Vyvam Pham. While she was silent in the teaser for "Duel of the Double Crossers!", she was voiced by Kim Mai Guest in "Inside the Outsiders!"

* [[The Quiet One]]: It's explained in her backstory why she's this way.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Her design resembles [[Kill Bill|Gogo Yubari]].

 

[[File:BB_Metamorpho.png|frame]]

 

Metamorpho has the ability to change his body into any shape, as well as transforming into any member of the periodic table of elements. Metamorpho helps in saving Wildcat's life when his heart stops in the middle of a fight by turning his body into oxygen in order to get into Wildcat's lungs. His appearance is like that of his comic-book alter ego, though he appears to be younger than the Rex Mason version. His unique abilities apparently require lots of energy, as he is seen almost constantly eating during the show. At the end of the episode he is seen at Wildcat's gym heartily drinking down Wildcat's Tiger Tonic.

* [[Big Eater]]

* [[Scott Menville]]

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]

 

=== [[Ambush Bug]] ===

A [[Cloudcuckoolander]] with the ability to [[Teleport Spam]] and [[No Fourth Wall|awareness]] of the [[Fourth Wall]]. Appears only in the [[Grand Finale]].

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: He doesn't let his lack of offensive powers stop him from beating Gorilla Grodd with a dropbox.

* [[Heroic Build]]: Defied. His limbs are like knotted string but he also has a noticeable paunch.

* [[Hit Me Dammit]]: So that the viewers will stick around to watch Batman beat him up.

* [[Meta Guy]]

* [[Rage Against the Author]]

 

 

Baby Face returns in "Night of the Huntress!" , now married to his sweetheart, Miss (now Mrs) Manface) and fights Batman, Blue Beetle III and The Huntress when he springs his crew from Blackgate Prison. After freeing the inmates there, he and his gang escape. He then plans to break into Warehouse X to obtain the criminal weapons there. Batman, Blue Beetle, and Huntress tried to stop them, but end up defeated and trapped in an hourglass trap that was previously used by Clock King. Babyface leads his gang to Little Sisters of Gotham Convent (the peaceful part of Gotham) where a crime lord summit is being held and ends up attacking them. Batman, Blue Beetle, and Huntress escape and Batman uses his transforming Batmobile to combat Babyface's robot while Blue Beetle and Huntress deal with his gang. Batman manages to blow up Babyface's robot, defeating him.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Of sorts. He'll quite happily dish out the hurt to our heroes or indeed any innocent [[Red Shirt]], but he genuinely loves Miss Manface and has [[Unholy Matrimony|made an honest woman of her]] by the time of "Night of the Huntress".

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: With twin [[Cool Guns|Thompson SMGs]].

 

Black Manta is a criminal from the surface world who was hired by Orm to kill AQUAMAN. When Orm succeeds in capturing AQUAMAN and becomes "Ocean Master", Black Manta betrays and imprisons him. He planed to use a machine to destroy and plunder Atlantis, but was stopped by AQUAMAN, Ocean Master, and Batman. He was arrested and locked in Iron Heights. He appears again in the episode "Enter the Outsiders!" where he is robbing an armored car but is defeated by Batman and B'wana Beast. Black Manta teams up with Owlman and the other villains assembled by Owlman in "Game Over for Owlman". In "Night of the Huntress", Black Manta makes a cameo as one of the inmates trying to escape Blackgate Prison.

* [[Animal Motifs]]: The manta.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To AQUAMAN

* [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Unsurprisingly, his role in Aquaman's sitcom.

 

===Catwoman===

[[File:battb_Catwoman_thumbnail.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]

* [[Dating Catwoman]]

[[File:BB_Clock_King.png|frame]]

The first villain to appear in ''The Brave And The Bold'', Clock King has simple goals in life: assemble a clock-themed group of henchmen in a clock-themed secret lair, construct elaborate clock-themed traps and/or weapons, and use them to rob banks and/or kill Batman.

* [[Clock King]]: While worth mentioning simply because of the name, he has yet to demonstrate the precise timing to be worthy of this trope.

* [[Dee Bradley Baker]]

 

An ex-painter who leads a double life as a master thief, he is blinded during a battle with Batman and Robin. While in prison, he volunteers for an experimental procedure that would restore his vision. There is a side-effect, however: Even though he can see, he can only see in blinding, disorienting colors. Crazy-Quilt's wears a helmet that allows him to hypnotize his victims using flashing lights of various colors. It can also project lethal laser beams, blinding lights, and functions as artificial eyes since his own eyes no longer function; the lenses feed their input signal straight into his brain.

* [[Deal with the Devil]]

One of the more frequently featured villains in the show. Grodd helped set the tone for the series in the second episode by turning Batman into an ape on Dinosaur Island.

* [[Breather Episode]]: Was the featured villain of the very silver aged "Gorillas In Our Midst!" after the [[Darker and Edgier]] Chill of the Night.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: he's a genuine fan of washed-up villain the Weeper, and even tries to help the latter get back to his prime.

* [[Put the Laughter In Slaughter]]: He laughs as much as you'd think when he repeatedly kills Batman as Emperor Joker.

* [[Reality Warper]]: [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Thanks to Batmite]] in "Emperor Joker!"

* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: This version owes more to his 60's appearances than his modern [[Monster Clown]] ones. But then again, there's "Emperor Joker!"...

* [[Changing Clothes Is a Free Action]]: He goes through around a dozen costumes, including eight in a single extended scene.

Now [[The Walls Are Closing In]] before a [[Trap Door]] opens to an [[Acid Pool]]. Let's also have a [[Time Bomb]] just in case.

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Robin was ''hoping'' for this but is quickly shot down.

===Starro===

* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: to Marvel Comics' Galactus. (Actually Starro came first, but the whole planet-devouring shtick is more Galactus' than his.)

* [[Big Bad]]: Of a current [[Story Arc]] going on in the show's [[Cold Openings]], where [[The Dragon|The Faceless Hunter]] is gathering most of the superheroes to become [[Hive Mind]] slaves. {{spoiler|Their roles reverse after Starro is killed by Earth's heroes, with the Faceless Hunter taking over as the main villain and the now, apparently mindless creature he turns Starro's remains into serving his destructive whims.}}
