History YMMV / BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

** The Gas Gang's "new look", carried over directly from the comics. It was silly even in UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: A BeatEmUp developed by Creator/WayForwardTechnologies for the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii that plays out over four levels that look like episodes and has the entire voice cast from the show.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The infamous scene in the Bat-Mite episode where Bat-Mite addresses a complaint at a fan convention that [[LighterAndSofter a light-hearted interpretation is neither a novel idea nor any less valid than other interpretations]]. This wouldn't be [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo the last time]] that a DC Comics cartoon essentially called out its audience for wanting the show to be DarkerAndEdgier.

* CantUnhearIt: You no doubt can hear Bat-Mite's words as Paul Reubens now thanks to this series.

*** In fairness, the whole point of Batman is that he is usually CrazyPrepared in the field, which Captain Atom's argument disregards altogether. Not to mention [[ThouShallNotKill Batman's firm moral code]], [[WillfullyWeak which is "WHY" he doesn't use deadlier gadgets nor tactics]] unless necessary.

** Wong Fei from ''Return of the Fearsome Fangs''. For being a martial arts expert, he's quite an arrogant, rude jerk who always insults his pupils no matter if they do well or bad and orders them to kneel to him essentially every time he wants, just to show off his status of mentor. No surprise that only ONE of FIVE students completed his training, and just because the plot demanded it.

** The episode where Alfred writes a story about Bruce marrying Catwoman and them having a child named Damien. Not only is writing fan fiction about people you actually know already pretty icky, but Alfred writes the story in which Bruce and Selina are murdered and leave Damien a troubled orphan. It starts to get pretty squicky if you actually stop and think about the implications for too long.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: This show features many well designed, sexy ladies. Nearly the entire female cast in fact are MsFanservice knockouts, with [[ButterFace Mrs. Manface]] being the biggest exception.

* CompleteMonster:
** [[{{Greed}} Kanjar Ro]] is a power-hungry SpacePirate who has committed attempted mass murder on a planetary scale solely for the sake of profit. Kanjar [[PeopleFarms harvested the Gibbles]] as a source of power, and murdered the first Blue Beetle using a Gamma Gong for trying to protect them. Upon meeting Jaime Reyes, the new Blue Beetle, Kanjar weakens Jaime with the Gamma Gong, forcefully extracting the Blue Beetle Scarab and imprisoning the boy. Kanjar then uses the Scarab on himself, then uses the Blue Beetle suit to attempt to kill Batman. Later, Kanjar attempts to [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up a planet]] solely for profit. Afterwards, Kanjar attempts to use a neutron bomb to vaporize all sapient life on Adam Strange's homeworld of Rann, so he can then use the empty planet as a base of operations to [[GalacticConqueror conquer the galaxy]].
** [[VengefulGhost James "Jim" Craddock]], aka [[AdaptationalVillainy Gentleman Ghost]], was a notorious highwayman during 19th century England where he made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the demon Astaroth]], whereby he would become immortal in exchange for ten human souls. [[YourSoulIsMine Stealing the souls of ten innocents]], Astaroth made it that Craddock's "[[ExactWords soul would never pass from Earth]]" so he would remain as a ghost swearing revenge on Batman. Craddock would return in modern day London where he succeeds in burying Batman alive and summoning an undead army with which he intends to destroy London.
** "[[Recap/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBoldS1E12DeepCoverForBatman Deep Cover for Batman!]]": [[AIIsACrapshoot Silver Cyclone]] is the EvilCounterpart to Red Tornado and the second-in-command of the Injustice Syndicate. Cyclone, much like the Syndicate's leader, Owlman, plans on invading other Earths and conquering them. Upon learning from Batman--who is disguised as Owlman--that the Good Earth is too dangerous to conquer, Cyclone decides to bring up Plan B, which involves [[OmnicidalManiac destroying all life]] on that planet and [[MakeAnExampleOfThem using it as a warning to other Earths]]. During a heist to steal the material needed for the bomb, the Injustice Syndicate captures Red Hood, Joker's GoodCounterpart, and Cyclone tortures him for information. When Batman frees the Evil Earth's heroes and defeats the Injustice Syndicate, Cyclone decides to activate his bomb, planning to kill all organic life on his Earth, including his own teammates, just because he hates humans and wants to rule alone.
** "[[Recap/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBoldS1E26InsideTheOutsiders Inside the Outsiders!]]": [[SoftSpokenSadist Psycho Pirate]], real name Roger Hayden, is a sadistic {{supervillain}} who [[EmotionEater feeds on the emotions of his victims]] until he destroys their minds, standing out even among world conquerors and city destroyers as a despicable predator. Kidnapping three young, rookie superheroes, the Outsiders, as his latest victims, Psycho Pirate invades their minds and [[MindRape mentally tortures them]] with their worst fears and bad experiences. Forcing Katana to relive her master's death over and over, subjecting Black Lightning to constant hate and prejudice from everyone around him, and convincing Metamorpho that his supposed friends see him as a freak, Psycho Pirate severely harms the teenagers' psyches and even gets them to nearly snuff one another out. When Batman arrives, Psycho Pirate subjects him to a horrid illusion of the Outsiders dying, hoping to force the hero to give in to his murderous hatred so Psycho Pirate can devour his emotions and mind for good. In the tie-in comics, Psycho Pirate drives a city to anarchy via making its civilians try to kill each other, with [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Billy Batson]] nearly getting mauled by Tawky Tarny before Batman saves him.
** Season 2's "Starro Invasion" arc: [[TheHeavy Chun Yull]] is known exclusively as [[EgomaniacHunter the Faceless Hunter]]. Originally from the Saturnian moon Klaramar, the Hunter was an outcast among his people for being a violent hunter, and in retaliation, the Hunter made a deal with the planet-devouring being [[EldritchAbomination Starro]] to destroy his homeworld in exchange for being Starro's herald. Spending the following years mind controlling the populations of entire planets then offering them up for Starro to devour, the Hunter arrives on Earth to continue his work; however, he is forced to flee when the heroes of the Earth destroy Starro. Kidnapping the hero B'Wana Beast, the Hunter painfully forces him to use his powers to create a monstrous creature the Hunter plans to use to destroy the Earth, before moving on to [[OmnicidalManiac the rest of the universe]]. Though the Hunter is beaten, B'Wana Beast is forced to sacrifice himself to save the Earth from the Hunter's machinations. Cruel and homicidal for no defined reason, the Faceless Hunter stood out as a [[VileVillainSaccharineShow surprisingly dark villain for this fairly lighthearted series]].
** [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] is the ruler of Apokolips, with designs to invade Earth and unlock the Anti-Life Equation. [[CrapsackWorld Apokolips]] is a flaming hellscape where the entire population is used for constant labor and slave work, their spirits broken and hope gone in what is explicitly described as a FateWorseThanDeath. Darkseid hopes to [[Recap/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBoldS2E24DarskeidDescending stage an onslaught of Earth]] so he can transform it into another Apokolips and replenish his slave supply with whatever humans survive his invasion, and he tries to herald his arrival by murdering multiple superheroes with sadistic, drawn-out relish. Darkseid's goals are further detailed in the tie-in comics, where he captures Batman and Mister Miracle to subject them to [[MindRape a series of mental deaths and torments]], all in the hope he can break their minds and use the experience to replicate it on a mass scale, obtaining the Anti-Life Equation and destroying the will of all life in the universe.

** "Chill of the Night!" in the context of how it is much darker and more serious than the rest of the series, being more like ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' in tone.
