Taking its [[ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold name]] from DC's traditional TeamUpSeries, ''Batman: The Brave and the Bold'' has Batman partnering with a different superhero or superheroes every week. [[LimelightSeries With a primary focus on]] rarely used (but classic) characters such as ComicBook/RedTornado, Detective Chimp, and even 'Mazing Man the show takes many of its plotline inspirations from old [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] stories. The show's creators aim to spotlight every possible underrated aspect of the DC universe. In order to showcase as many heroes and villains as possible, TheTeaser is often a standalone mini-adventure in itself, giving every character a chance to shine.

The show is notable for having the first animated appearance of the ComicBook/BlueBeetle, specifically the third Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes (though Dan Garrett and Ted Kord also make posthumous appearances). It's also the animation debut of [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]] (as a team, anyway; ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}} had a supporting role on ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''). Among them are ComicBook/BlackLightning and ComicBook/{{Katana}}, finally making their official debuts in animation. It also marks the first television appearance of the original [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]], Jay Garrick, as well as the Creator/JackKirby creations ''ComicBook/{{Kamandi}}, The Last Boy on Earth'' and ''ComicBook/{{OMAC}}: One Man Army Corps''. And when A-lister Superman finally appears in season three, his character-centric episode consists of half an hour of [[AscendedMeme nods]] to Website/{{Superdickery}}.

** Inverted with Firestorm. In the comics, Comicbook/{{Firestorm|DCComics}} was a teenager named Ronnie Raymond who got his powers in a nuclear accident. In 2004, Ronnie was killed off and replaced by a new character named Jason Rusch. The cartoon uses the best of both worlds by having both Ron and Jason present at the same accident, which fuses them together so they BOTH act as Firestorm.

Then there's "Shadow of the Bat!'' a scary horror filled episode that involves getting turned into a vampire by Dala and turning most of the Justice League into vampires as well, before Martian Manhunter incinerated them by moving their base close enough to the Sun. Thankfully, this turned out to be [[spoiler:all just Batman's nightmare caused by Dala's hallucinogenic venom]].

** A minor and most likely unintentional example, but in the episode "Deep Cover for Batman" Scarlet Scarab (The Earth-23 counterpart to Blue Beetle) mentions having the heart of a hero. While he meant actually meant it literally, the idea that the Scarab Scarlet might be a good guy may imply that the Blue Beetle might not be all that good as he seems.
