Batman

Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Voiced by: Diedrich Bader (adult), Zachary Gordon (child), Tara Strong (toddler), Dee Bradley Baker (baby), Corey Burton (Bat-Manga version), and Frank Welker (Scooby-Doo version) ^{Foreign VAs}Adrien Antoine [adult, Bat-Manga version], Zoé Bettan [1st voice as a child], Paolo Domingo [2nd voice as a child] Sauvane Delanoë [3rd voice as a child, toddler, and baby], Thierry Murzeau [Scooby-Doo version] (FR)

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.

---

• Adaptation Origin Connection:
  • "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!" has flashbacks that depict Bruce training alongside Bronze Tiger and the Terrible Trio prior to becoming Batman. While Bronze Tiger is himself a martial artist, there are no hints Ben Turner ever trained with Bruce in the comics and the Terrible Trio aren't martial artists in the comics.
  • This continuity has him responsible for Plastic Man gaining his powers as well as redeeming himself from his life of crime by becoming a superhero. Batman had no involvement whatsoever with Plastic Man's origin in the comics.
• The Ace: He's so famous as a hero that even several aliens and people from the future revere him.
• Adaptive Ability: Although considered a non-powered hero, Batman's greatest asset (besides his preplanning skills) is his uncanny ability to adapt to seemingly any situation, no matter how bizarre or out of his element.
• Animal Motifs: Bats as his name may indicate.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: To even the odds against Equinox in "The Fate of Equinox!".
• Badass Cape: Just look at it. Then again, Batman always has one.
• Badass Normal: He has no powers but is still a highly effective hero. To the point that he's semi-reguarly knocking around villains who frankly shouldn't even notice Batman hitting them with his bare hands.
• Bad Habits: Thoroughly questions a hospitalized and fading fast ex-gangster while dressed as a priest to learn Joe Chill's name and location. That said, this is understandable, given the circumstances.
• Batman Gambit: Uses these often, as he is the Trope Namer.
• Big Brother Is Watching: He sets up a mass surveillance system over Gotham that goes so far as to detect thoughts of criminality in the populace. The Joker and the Weeper team up to destroy it, which may possibly be the only time in history where the Joker has both moral and audience support over Batman. That said, this was largely from the Joker's point of view.
• Big Brother Mentor: To pretty much every superhero and superheroine.
  • Except the Justice Society of America; they're his mentors.
• Cassandra Truth: He unsuccessfully attempts to warn Craddock in "Trials of the Demon!" of what his Deal with the Devil will get ultimately him.
• Celibate Hero: Unless, of course, it involves Catwoman.
  • A tie-in comic story also implies he will one day sire a son with Talia by the name of Damian, just like the original comic series.
• Chest Insignia: Doubles as an emergency batarang.
• Chick Magnet: Catwoman, Black Canary, Talia Al Ghul, Vicky Vale; even Huntress and Batwoman flirt with him. Even Poison Ivy has a fondness for him as she considered sparing him if he agreed to marry her.
• Clear My Name: After Owlman pretends to be him for three weeks.
• 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.
  "Sorry, Mrs. Manface, the Hammer of Justice is unisex!"
  "That was an ape, driving a cab."
  "Can't talk. Skiing ninjas with lasers."
• Cool Car: The Batmobile.
• Crazy-Prepared:
  • Has pretty much anything and everything stored in that belt of his, from a length of rope to dog biscuits.
  • He hid bolt-holes and secret tunnels all over Gotham.
  • The Bat-Computer has files on it detailing the way to subdue his fellow superheroes if they ever wound up under someone else's control. This comes back to bite Bats in the butt, when Owlman manages to find them and use them.
• Cupid's Arrow: In the tie-in comic story "The Bride and the Bold" one of Eros' arrows hits Batman to make him "fall in love with Wonder Woman." While going to City Hall to get a marriage license, seeing "Lady Justice" snaps Batman out of it. But that doesn't stop him from planning a mock wedding with Wonder Woman to trap those a jealous Talia Al'Ghul get together to crash said wedding. The lone escapee, Mouseman, couldn't believe the fiasco, and Catwoman has some intent on getting more details...
• Deadpan Snarker: Less than you'd expect, but if something especially ridiculous happens you can bet on him having a dry observation ready.
• Death Montage: Happens to Batman in "Emperor Joker!". The Joker resurrects him after every death only to make the next even more brutal than the last. Like in the original comic storyline, Batman is almost utterly broken by the end of it, but he gets better after the Joker loses his godlike powers.
• Doesn't Like Guns: Obviously, but in "Mitefall!", after Bat-Mite changes reality so that the show will Jump the Shark, Batman does use guns. Until Ambush Bug convinces Batman to remember who he is.
• Elaborate Underground Base: The Batcave.
• Empowered Badass Normal: The show loves giving Batman random powers that last for one episode.
  • In "Long Arm of the Law!", Batman (along with Kite Man) gets hit with a ray that turns things elastic, thereby giving Batman the same powers as Plasticman.
  • In "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!", Batman and the Flashes travel to a future ruled by Professor Zoom. So Batman steals the speed bracelets of all of Zoom's guards, becoming a speedster himself to face Zoom, albeit temporarily.
  • In "Shadow of the Bat!", Batman is turned into a vampire, along with an impressive array of vampiric powers. He's also hungry for the Justice League International's blood.
  • The most impressive example would be "The Fate of Equinox!". After Equinox absorbs all the powers of the Lords of Order and Chaos, Batman and Doctor Fate decide to combine some powers themselves. Summoning many heroes such as Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Doctor Fate, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, and Red Tornado, it is decided Batman who has the strongest will is the one who shall house all the powers. Batman grows gigantic in size into "Bat Monolith" where he has all the powers of the summoned superheroes to fight Equinox.
• Expressive Mask: As always, his mask presents his emotions.
• Femme Fatalons: When he switched bodies with Katrina Moldov.
• Fountain of Youth: In "The Malicious Mr. Mind!", Batman gets hit by Sivana's Age Reversing Youth Ray, causing Batman to become younger over the course of the episode. At first he's a moody teen, then he's a curious child, and finally a baby who is unable to speak. But he still manages to beat Mr. Mind, as a baby.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Although Batman has enough technology and resources to decimate crime on a whim, he admits that he finds using the Hammers of Justice way more fun.
• Heroic Willpower: Constantly.
  "They tell me it's all about will and will's one thing I've got plenty of!"
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: While not masked until "Chill Of the Night" when he's confronting Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents.
• Horrible Judge of Character: Usually subverted, but he once believed Sinestro was trustworthy (in fairness, Sinestro was a Green Lantern at the time).
• Hyperspace Arsenal: He can store pretty much anything in that Utility Belt of his.
• Hypocritical Humor: If he gets into a childish competition with Green Arrow, he'll tell Arrow to stop being so childish...then immediately one-up him.
• I Call It "Vera": Beware his Hammers of Justice.
• Invincible Hero: To the point that it gets a Lampshade Hanging. And at the same time somewhat averted. Batman is hailed as the greatest hero, but loses several fights and has to be rescued a couple of times by other heroes or a stroke of luck.
• Kryptonite Factor: When on Zur-En-Arrh in "The Super Batman of Planet X!" he exposed to Rodon, a native element. This gives Superman-like powers to Batman, but Evil Genius Rothul discovers the Quartz of Zur-En-Ah acts Kryptonite to Super Batman. Tlano, the Zur-En-Arrh Batman, sprays the weakened Batman with a compound that normalizes him to where he's no longer affected by either the Rodon OR the Quartz.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: He has a square jaw, which is emphasized by his cowl.
• Lighter and Softer: Compared to several other incarnations of Batman. While he is gruff and aloof, he's much more pleasant towards other heroes, willingly working with them and even calling Green Arrow a friend. The lightness of this interpretation is often openly lampshaded in-universe by Bat-Mite.
  • The only exception to this is in "Chill of the Night", which presents a darker than usual (by this universe's standards) take on Batman's character more in line with his portrayal in the DC Animated Universe. This episode arguably takes it a step further by having Batman consider murdering Joe Chill in cold blood.
• Literal Split Personality: "A Bat Divided" has him split in three by a damaged nuclear reactor - Science Batman, representing his intellect; Physical Batman, representing his anger and love of crime-fighting; and "Slacker" Batman, who gets what's left over, most of which is the munchies.
• Master of Unlocking: The lockpick in his gloves got him out of more jams than his Utility Belt ever did.
• Nice Guy: By virtue of being Lighter and Softer. He's friendlier and more pleasant to other people, and is much more open to working with other superheroes. The only time this flies out the window is in "Chill of the Night", where he outright considers killing Joe Chill for his parents' murder. Even then, he ultimately relents and tries to save Chill from death.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When he finally manages to track down his parents' murderer Joe Chill, Bruce abandons the quips, gimmicks, and superhero team-ups and seriously considers going in for the kill.
  • In "Joker: The Vile and the Villainous", Batman is presented in a decidedly fascistic light as he abuses his own mass surveillance system to spy on ordinary citizens throughout Gotham, prompting the Joker to take a rare heroic turn to stop him. The Brave and the Bold's Batman usually makes it clear that he prefers fighting crime on the streets. Although considering that the whole episode is framed from the Joker's perspective, Batman's villainy is emphasised for comedic effect.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: That is until he unmasked himself to the mugger that killed his parents when he was eight years old, Joe Chill, and told him his real name.
• Parental Abandonment: Aw heck, one more time! HIS PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAAAAD!
• Primary-Color Champion: As lampshaded by Sherlock Holmes, the blue and yellow in Batman's costume are indicative of his heroic nature.
• Ragnarök Proofing: He builds things to last. One episode shows the Bat-Cave still functioning decades or possibly even centuries after the Great Disaster (albeit, admittedly, not entirely intact).
• Saying Too Much: Lets slip to Jamie that his predecessor was killed in action. He quickly backtracks to claim he "retired".
• Secret Identity Apathy: His alter ego as Bruce Wayne isn't focused on very much if at all, but Holmes has no trouble believing that Batman's secret identity is as "a wealthy entrepreneur with ample free time."
• Straight Man: Of the entire universe. No matter what madness he faces, Batman remains entirely unfazed by any of it.
• The Stoic: He rarely presents his emotions, just like most versions of the character.
• Strong as They Need to Be: Depending on who Batman's facing, his competence and capabilities can be upgraded to face villains who are traditionally way out of his league. And even if he doesn't win against them and requires the help of another hero to save the day, he'll still be able to hang with them and take direct blows without being turned into a fine red mist after one punch.
• Super Hero: He is one.
• Surrounded by Idiots: Depending on the team-up. If it's Booster or Plas, this will occur.
• Took a Level in Badass: When he confronts his parents' killer, Joe Chill. This is as close to a conventionally dark, modern take on Batman's character that you'll ever see in this show.
• Unstoppable Rage: When he unleashes a beatdown upon Joe Chill who was responsible for his parents' death.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: With a bit of Unfazed Everyman. No matter how absurd the situation, the most Batman may utter is a dry remark before seamlessly adapting to the circumstances faster than a fish to water (or a bat to air).
• 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, so he has no problems socking one to Miss Manface, or Catwoman (when he's not busy flirting with the latter) as necessary.

Major Heroes

Aquaman

Aquaman (Arthur Curry)

Voiced by: John DiMaggio ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné, Daniel Beretta [singing voice in two episodes] (FR)

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: Hydrokinesis is typically not one of Aquaman's abilities, but it's a core part of his skillset here. This is not the first series to have given him such a power, though.
• Aesop Amnesia: The ending of "Evil Under the Sea!" subverts this. AQUAMAN chooses not to exile Orm on the grounds that "you don't give up on family." Batman is incredulous, at least until AQUAMAN begins reading his captive brother his autobiography. Seeing how much that infuriates Orm, Batman realizes that is a worse punishment than exile would've been.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: While on vacation, Mera has to constantly remind her husband to stop daydreaming while he's driving.
• The Big Guy: Whenever he's around, he's often the muscle of the assembled heroes.
• Boisterous Bruiser: He's extremely outgoing and personable while also enjoying a fight.
• Breakout Character: Bat-Mite even uses the term in the series finale. He has the most appearances of any guest-hero in the series.
• Cain and Abel: With his half-brother Orm, going back to the day their mom made Arthur king of Atlantis. Orm... didn't take that too well.
• Character Catchphrase: OUTRAGEOUS!
• Character Development: He's noticeably more subdued in the introductory episode "Evil Under the Sea!" than his subsequent, consistently hammier appearances, and DiMaggio's performance reflects that.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The titles of the various adventures he likes to tell.
  AQUAMAN: And the time I had to wear an eye-patch to infiltrate a crew of pirates. I call that—
  Batman: "AQUAMAN's Undercover Adventure."
  AQUAMAN: No. "The Time I Wore an Eye-Patch to Infiltrate a Crew Of Pirates." But what you said is good, too.
• Expy: The show's version of Aquaman is basically a PG-rated aquatic version of The Incredible Hercules.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: His Rousing Song of Heroism emphasizes that guts, determination, and heart are more important than superpowers such as flight, super strength, and shapeshifting.
• Henpecked Husband: Slightly. He only went on a road trip vacation because his wife wanted to. He also tries to perform heroics behind her back after she insisted this was a family vacation.
• Hero-Worshipper: He greatly respects Batman as a superhero and puts him on a pedestal. Aquaman proclaims Batman is the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the very best; Repeatedly.
  • In "Powerless!"
    Captain Atom: The guy has no superpowers, not even a lame one. And yet, everybody here thinks he's the greatest Super Hero in the universe.
    AQUAMAN: 'Cause it's TRUE!.
• Heroic BSoD: In "Mystery in Space!", Batman encounters a surprisingly depressed AQUAMAN, who starts questioning the point of being a hero. It turns out to be because he failed to save a beluga whale from illegal whaling. Naturally, he breaks out of that soon enough.
• Hot-Blooded: It's amazing that he hasn't boiled away the ocean!
• Hypocritical Humor: AQUAMAN found it odd that Adam Strange could be so jovial in the face of danger.
  • In "Powerless!":
    (Batman has just rattled off a list of Captain Atom's powers)
    AQUAMAN: Impressive! But he should try mixing a little humility with those superpowers. Like I do! (rather smug smile)
• Idiot Hero: He's not really stupid, but he rarely thinks his actions through and prefers to charge in, fists swinging, instead of planning ahead.
• The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Been prone to doing this from time to time, especially when he has his adventures with Batman.
• Large Ham: Almost always speaks with inordinate volume and vigor like a Silver Age superhero would.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Even down to calling people 'chums'.
• Making a Splash: Water swords and water hadokens! His greatest feat however is calling up a Giant Wall of Watery Doom.
• Nice Guy: Easily the most jovial and kindly character in the whole show, if not the entire DC Universe.
• Non-Human Sidekick: Fluke, a Playful Dolphin, and one of the few beings Batman really hates.
• Overly Polite Pals: With Batman mostly, even though the former hides his slight frustration with Arthur's over-zealousness.
• Rousing Speech: Rousing Song of Heroism.
  • It was one of these from Batman that shook him out of his Heroic BSoD.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's the king of Atlantis.
• Semantic Superpower: He can control silverfish, too, despite the fact that they’re bugs, and not even aquatic bugs.
• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Downplayed: his abilities, such as Super-Strength and the ability to form water-based weapons, are useful just about anywhere, but episodes featuring him still tend to toss in aquatic setpieces so that his main power of sea life control isn't an Informed Ability (for instance, Clock King holding someone hostage in front of a lobster tank).
• Time-Passage Beard: Inverted, with a flashback to the early days of the Justice League shows him without his beard.
• Vibrant Orange: AQUAMAN wears an orange shirt and is outgoing and personable, even when fighting.
• The Worf Effect: While the show was the final step in breaking his persistent "Aquaman is useless" reputation and cemented his status as a legitimate badass in the eyes of the audience, a side-effect was that it also made him prone to fall victim to this trope. Unless AQUAMAN is the focus character of the episode, he often gets saddled with the role of "hero who gets taken out, captured or mind-controlled to show that the villain is an actual threat."

The Atom II

The Atom II (Ryan Choi)

Voiced by: James Sie ^{Foreign VAs}Vincent Ropion (FR)

An Asian-American scientist whose costume allows him to shrink himself (and others) down in size, up to microscopic size. 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. Prolonged exposure to AQUAMAN may have had something to do with this.

---

• Asian and Nerdy: He's an Asian-American scientist.
• Clothes Make the Superman: His powers come from his suit.
• "Fantastic Voyage" Plot: "Journey to the Center of the Bat!" sees him and AQUAMAN journey inside Batman's body to cure him of an infection.
• Incredible Shrinking Man: He has the power to shrink.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Very curt and aloof, but definitely a good guy. And in fairness, he is often stuck with AQUAMAN.
• Legacy Character: Came after Ray Palmer, the original Atom.
• Not That Kind of Doctor: Is introduced when AQUAMAN calls on him to help an ailing Batman, leading to this exchange:
  AQUAMAN: What kind of medicine shall we prescribe, doc?
  Atom: You don't know what kind of a doctor I am, do you?
  AQUAMAN: A hero doctor, through and through!
  Atom: ... a physicist.
• Papa Wolf: PLATELET!!!
• Scarily Competent Tracker: Demonstrated in "Sword of the Atom!".
• Science Hero: A hero powered by his own science experiment.
• Straight Man: To AQUAMAN.
• Surrounded by Idiots: His speaking appearances have all teamed him up with AQUAMAN.
• 10-Minute Retirement: Retires from being the Atom sometime before "Sword of the Atom!" to focus on his academic career. AQUAMAN pulls him out of it to look for Ray Palmer (Atom I) and Batman, who disappeared searching for the former.

Black Canary II

Black Canary II (Dinah Lance)

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle ^{Foreign VAs}Barbara Beretta (FR)

Black Canary is a superheroine with hand-to-hand combat prowess and a supersonic scream. She appears most prominently in the episodes "Mayhem of the Music Meister!", "The Golden Age of Justice" and "The Mask of Matches Malone".

---

• Action Heroine: She has powers but relies more on her martial arts skills to fight crime.
• Aroused by Their Voice: The Music Meister was impressed by her Beautiful Singing Voice, although given her sonic scream, he might have wished he wasn't.
• Femme Fatale: Her method of disposing Solomon Grundy without moving a muscle.
• Identical Granddaughter: She is entirely identical to her mother. The only difference between them is that Dinah doesn't wear a mask.
• Legacy Character: She inherited the mantle from her mother.
• Missing Mom: Her mom died in the line of duty, though the JSA kept the whole story from her.
• Ms. Fanservice: Her character design has to be the most obvious Fanservice of the series.
• Parental Favouritism: Or surrogate parents as the case may be. She points out they treated her with kid gloves, while (in her eyes) favouring Batman. Flashbacks show that they were much harsher on Batman during training.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She acts like a bad girl toward Batman, but she eventually falls in love with Green Arrow.
• Stay in the Kitchen: On the receiving end from the JSA, who treat her like a little child.
• Super-Scream: Wouldn't be the Black Canary without her signature Canary Cry.
• The Tease: She enjoys flirting, especially with Batman.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Huntress and Catwoman.
• Vocal Range Exceeded: Though the danger isn't because she can't sing, rather because that's when her Canary Cry kicks in.

Blue Beetle III

Blue Beetle III (Jaime Reyes)

Voiced by: Will Friedle ^{Foreign VAs}Christophe Lemoine (FR)

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.

---

• Acquired Situational Narcissism: Beating Kanjar Ro gives him a big head.
• Adaptive Armor: The scarab generated armor is capable of turning into all manner of things.
• Animal Motifs: A beetle.
• Arm Cannon: His primary weapon.
• Ascended Fanboy: He had a love of superheroes (particularly Batman) before acquiring the Scarab.
• Assimilation Backfire: It wasn't until the scarab fully subsumed Jaime that he managed to overcome it completely.
• Clingy Costume: The Scarab is attached to Jamie's spine. Removing it would be painful.
• Color Character: Blue Beetle.
• Deadpan Snarker: In the episode "Darkseid Descending!" after Fire asks for everyone's opinion on her outfit, Jaime is the first to chime in with a sarcastic snarky comment.
  • Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes: "I wonder if it's short enough?"
• Distracted by the Sexy: Teenage boy + Huntress = mid-fight concussion (Unlike Jaime's comic counterpart, who was "raised not to stare").
• Expressive Mask: The eyes on his mask can move like they were his real eyes.
• Fake Ultimate Hero: Not Jaime, but rather Jarvis Kord after he deceives Jaime into being excited about meeting his predecessor, Ted, only to be disappointed when he finds out he got excited all for nothing.
• Fighting from the Inside: Jaime successfully manages to overpower the Reach programming when it tries to take over him.
• How Do I Shot Web?: He initially has no idea how the Scarab actually works.
• Kid-Appeal Character/Younger and Hipper: Lampshaded.
  Stargirl: Great. I send for the world's greatest hero and I get the knockoff Blue Beetle.
  Jaime: Knockoff? I prefer to think of myself as a reimagined hero for a new generation.
• The Kid with the Leash: The Scarab has never tried to frag anything, and Jaime has never had to force it down with sheer willpower. Never. Okay, maybe once or twice.
• The Knights Who Say "Squee!": So very much.
• Legacy Character: He's the third Blue Beetle.
• Likes Older Women: His attraction to Huntress.
• Morph Weapon: The armor can shapeshift into various weapons, such as plasma cannons, a hammer, or a mace.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Inverted. As the Blue Beetle, Jaime's eyes are red with a yellow iris. It's when they stop being red that things go wrong.
• Took a Level in Badass: By the end of the second series Batman trusts him enough to send him out against Mantis in his place, and by "Shadow of the Bat" he's single-handedly slapping around not just Batman, but superpowered vampire Batman.
• The Unintelligible: In his first appearance, he couldn't understand his living costume's various beeps.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: Second appearance onwards.

Booster Gold

Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter)

Voiced by: Tom Everett Scott (Booster) and Billy West (Skeets) ^{Foreign VAs}Jérôme Pauwels [Booster Gold] and Marc Perez [Skeets] (FR)

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.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: Much more genuinely selfish and lazy than his comic book counterpart, at least at first.
• Clothes Make the Superman: His powers come from his suit.
• Dumb Blonde: So of course he gets put up against The Riddler in the teaser for "A Bat Divided".
• Flashback Twist: As he describes his origins, it cuts back to what Booster was actually doing.
• Idiot Hero: The Riddler had fun exploiting Booster's apparent idiocy. Booster does know enough to not mess with the time stream — more or less.
• 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.
• Manchild: Fights Blue Beetle for the bottom bunk, acts like a twelve-year-old around girls, and takes on a vampirised Batman with a super soaker.
• Robot Buddy: Skeets.
• Servile Snarker: Skeets is Booster's best friend and closest servant, but he's not afraid to deliver the sarcasm when Booster screws up.
  Skeets: (After Booster completely fails to get Kr'ull to monologue) Way to keep the bad guy talking, sir.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He's introduced trying to convince a toy company to merchandise his likeness when he has no heroics to his name.
• Took a Level in Badass: There is a noticeable difference in his competence and badassery between his debut episode "Menace of the Conqueror Cavemen!" (Where he pretty much sucked until Skeets got hurt) and a "The Siege of Starro Pt.1" (Where he kicked ass and was a competent leader when Batman wasn't available).
  • Possibly foreshadowed in his debut episode:
  Booster: We both know I'm not much of a hero.
  Batman: Maybe you've just never had anything worth fighting for.

B'wana Beast

B'wana Beast (Michael Maxwell)

Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

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.

---

• The Beastmaster
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Acknowledges that a lot of people consider him a joke due to his weird powers. Batman and Vixen are among the few to think him a capable hero.
• Dying Declaration of Love: His last words to Batman is to tell Vixen he loves her.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Deconstructed. While most people consider his powers a joke, sometimes including himself, the one person who truly appreciates their potential is the Faceless Hunter, who uses them to nearly destroy the world.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Strains himself to the point of dispersing so the Faceless Hunter's plot could be stopped.
• Masked Luchador: He's only seen without his mask during a flashback showing his origin. The mask is basically a trophy for winning a match against a very strong gorilla.
• Mons: He merges ordinary animals together to make super-powered hybrids for combat or transport.
• Two Beings, One Body: As a super power!

Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett (Captain Marvel) and Tara Strong (Billy Batson) ^{Foreign VAs}Jérôme Pauwels [Captain Marvel] and Paolo Domingo [Billy Batson] (FR)

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. Later joins Batman and Martian Manhunter's Justice League International.

---

• Antiquated Linguistics: Billy is prone to exclaiming things like "holey moley", which means the Big Red Cheese is as well.
• Arch-Enemy: Dr. Sivana and Black Adam
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Happens during the episode "The Malicious Mr. Mind!", after the title character gets some help from a growth ray.
• Badass Family: Billy's sister Mary and their friend Freddy Freeman are essentially this as the Marvel Family. Given they're a trio of Superman-class heroes, it isn't surprising.
• Black Bead Eyes: As befits his original character design, but makes him stand out from the other heroes.
• By the Power of Grayskull!: "SHAZAM!"
• The Cape: Oh so very much.
• Captain Superhero: What do you think?
• Chest Insignia: His signature lightning bolt.
• Dork Knight: He takes his job seriously, but he's pretty excitable about working with famous heroes like Batman and going on adventures.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Dr. Sivana keeps calling Cap "The Big Red Cheese".
• Evil Counterpart: Black Adam, who showcases just how powerful he is by casually defeating Batman.
  Billy: He was a champion like me.
  Shazam: A champion, yes, but not like you, young Billy. Not like you at all.
• Finger Poke of Doom: Takes out Dr. Sivana using this.
• 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.
• Legion of Doom: The Monster Society of Evil team up to take on him and his family.
• Lightning Can Do Anything: Especially if it's magic. This includes taking down a cosmic species destroying star conqueror.
• Manchild: 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'wana Beast using his powers to merge animals.
• Nice Guy: He’s a sweet kid.
• Non-Standard Character Design: He’s the only character in the show with Black Bead Eyes.
• Older Alter Ego: He's normally a young boy, but when he becomes Captain Marvel he turns into an adult.
• The Pollyanna: His parents are dead, he's bullied by the other orphans, and the lady in charge of his home constantly berates and insults him for nothing. And yet Billy's still pretty chipper about everything.
• Seven Deadly Sins: Toned down to the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man, replacing Lust with Injustice.
• Super Power Lottery: As Captain Marvel, he’s so powerful that the only thing Sivana thought could defeat him was someone with the exact same powers.

Etrigan

Etrigan (Jason Blood)

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné [1st voice], Thierry Wermuth [2nd voice] (FR)

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.

---

• Bowdlerization: The incantation to change Jason to Etrigan leaves out the second line ("free the prince forever damned.") Because this is a kid's show, after all.
• Breath Weapon: He can breathe fire,.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: In his first appearance
• By the Power of Grayskull! "Gone, gone the form of man..."
• Half-Human Hybrid: Etrigan is part-human.
• Kryptonite Factor: Like all demons, Etrigan can be pained by iron.
• Magic Knight: Literally. In his human form, Etrigan is both a skilled swordsman and a sorcerer.
• Noble Demon: He’s a demon superhero.
• Painful Transformation: The switch between Jason and Etrigan clearly has Jason in pain.
• Rhymes on a Dime: He's the first animated incarnation of the character to do so.
• The Slow Path: Batman first encounters him in medieval times. The next was in Victorian England. His last major appearance finally saw him in the present. At no point has Jason Blood aged at all.

Fire

Fire (Beatriz Bonilla da Costa)

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle ^{Foreign VAs}Sauvane Delanoë (FR)

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.

---

• The Cameo: She appears in the very beginning of "Sidekicks Assemble", as part of the early Justice League.
• Girliness Upgrade / Fanservice 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 design.
• Lovely Angels: With her friend, Ice.
• Playing with Fire: Her superpower is (green) pyrokinesis.
• Spicy Latina: As per usual for the character.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Ice's Girly Girl. Fire is more outgoing, confident, and had a less girly outfit before she joined the team.

Firestorm

Firestorm (Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond)

Voiced by: Tyler James Williams (Jason Rusch) and Bill Fagerbakke (Ronnie Raymond) ^{Foreign VAs}Paolo Domingo [Jason], Jérôme Pauwels [Ronnie], and Mark Lesser [replacement voice for Ronnie] (FR)

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

---

• Atrocious Alias: "Slacker" Batman seriously thought "Flame Dude" was a good first choice. Ronnie agreed.
• Black and Nerdy: Jason Rusch.
• Cassandra Truth: Jason's initial attempts to explain that Ronnie's in his head with him don't go very well, to the extent "Slacker" Batman thinks he's outright schizophrenic.
• Callingthe Old Man Out: When Killer Frost tells about how bad a boyfriend Ronnie Raymond was, Jason calls him on it.
• Character Exaggeration: In the comics, Jason is nerdy, and Ronnie is kind of a dumb jock, but the show takes these and exaggerates them, making pre-Firestorm Jason a short, scrawny nerd, where as in the comics he's pretty darned good-looking (his appearance as Firestorm is how Comic Jason looks all the time), and Ronnie a large, bungling doofus.
• Composite Character: In the comics, Ronnie Raymond was the dominant half and a high school student, fused with his teacher Martin Stein, who acted as the voice of reason in his while the two were fused as Firestorm. Here, Ronnie is half of the partnership, but he's the teacher in Firestorm's head, while Jason is the voice of reason but serves as Firestorm's body.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: The creators had lots of fun with this version of Firestorm, with most depictions being a young boy fused with a wise professor who talks in his head. Here the relationship is inverted, where it's a smart kid with a bigger dumb teacher in his head telling him what to do.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ronnie Raymond, a grown-up version of the original comic book character. Not necessarily the nicest guy you'll ever meet, but he still tells Jason to leave him behind when he realizes his injury means he can't escape an impending meltdown in time. Fortunately, despite Jason ignoring him, all it does is fuse the two of them together.
• Sharing a Body: And not very well, at first. Jason's mostly in the driver's seat, but Ronnie can influence some control.
• Wrong Line of Work: Ronnie is a college physics professor who dresses and talks like a football coach. While he is fully knowledgeable of the subject he is teaching, he tends to use football terms to describe it, confusing his students to no end.

Green Arrow

Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)

Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor ^{Foreign VAs}Donald Reignoux (FR)

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 has possessed my sidekick? Oh, that's crazy. Subverted, however, in that Green Arrow quickly believes Batman's story.
  • In "Game Over for Owlman!" he immediately disregards Batman's claim of being impersonated by an evil alternate universe counterpart, which isn't all that unusual considering the world they live in.
• Badass in Distress: As Batman points out, in the first line of the first episode, every time they team up, the two of them get captured by the villains.
• Bad Boss: He treats Speedy pretty shabbily (one flashback shows him ordering a pre-teen Roy to retrieve his bow from a crocodile pit).
• Blatant Lies: "I've always treated Speedy pretty well." Absolutely no-one believes him.
• Color Character: Green Arrow.
• Cool Car: The Arrowcar, which as always is Green Arrow's mimic of the Batmobile
• Depower: Within a minute of arriving on Zur-En-Arrh, Batman sprays him with rodon, to prevent a repeat of what Batman had just gone through.
• Jerkass: He's incredibly nasty toward Plastic Man, telling him not to bother helping trying to catch Batman.
• The Lancer: Often time plays this role to Batman.
• The Rival: And he loves it. Batman does too, but he pretends not to.
  Batman: This is never going to end, is it?
  Green Arrow: I certainly hope not!
• Tenor Boy: In "Mayhem of the Music Meister!"
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Part of his rivalry with Batman. He's pretty much the only guy who can get Batman's goat.

Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)

Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)

Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor ^{Foreign VAs}Donald Reignoux [1st voice], Mark Lesser [2nd voice] (FR)

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.

---

• Fiery Redhead: He's got a bit of a temper along with his Jerkass attitude.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Guy wound up thrown in the sciencells for flipping his lid over getting the wrong sort of eggs with his meal.
• Imagine Spot: Bored, Guy imagines himself and Ice posed amorously on the cover of her romance novel.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a jerk but he's a dedicated hero, unquestioningly dedicated to the Green Lanterns.
• Legacy Character: Unique so far in this series that Hal Jordan, Earth's original Green Lantern, has a cameo in The Eyes Of Despero!
• Mythology Gag: "One punch!" He also laughs at Mongul for having the exact same thing happen to him.
• Ship Tease: With Ice.
• The Rival: To Alan Scott. Also to Booster Gold. He really doesn't get along with either of them. He eventually gets over his dislike for Alan Scott when a rocket with Batman tied to it is about to exit the atomsphere and the two come up with a plan for one of them to untie the rope Batman is tied to and one to destroy the rocket head which makes the two realize they're not that different.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice is slightly deeper in his first appearance (probably to distinguish him from Green Arrow, as they are voiced by the same actor, and GA features heavily in the same episode).

Huntress

Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)

Voiced by: Tara Strong ^{Foreign VAs}Barbara Beretta (FR)

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 Heroine: She fights crime using martial arts and a crossbow.
• Anti-Hero: Helena has no problem beating up the Calculator to acquire information (offscreen, of course. This is a kid's show).
• The Artifact: Due to her using the Silver Age Huntress's design, her belt buckle still has a bat, despite her not being related to Batman.
• Composite Character: Of herself. While this version is based on the Helena Bertinelli of the comics, the costume that she wears strongly resembles that of the Silver Age Huntress (Helena Wayne).
• Covert Pervert: Takes advantage of being tied up to cop a feel on Bats.
• Femme Fatale: Acts like this from time to time.
• Hot Librarian: Her day job. Played with, in that she's actually a professor, but still looks like this trope.
• Lighter and Softer: Than her comic incarnation, which isn't very difficult, since comic Helena is very willing to kill, and even regarded as not entirely sane by some of her closest allies, and as a result she and Batman do not get along.
• Lipstick-and-Load Montage: In her first appearance we see Helena suit up into her Huntress costume in the Gotham University ladies room. The final touch? Coating purple lipstick over her red lipstick.
• Ms. Fanservice: A drop dead gorgeous woman with a curvy waistline, slender legs, noticable bust and a sensual, breathy voice.
• Parental Bonus: Her sex appeal is greatly appreciated by adult viewers.
• Prim and Proper Bun: In her day job as a Gotham University professor.
• The Tease: Is quite the unapologetic flirt towards Batman.

Ice

Ice (Tora Olafsdotter)

Voiced by: Jennifer Hale ^{Foreign VAs}Céline Melloul (FR)

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

---

• An Ice Person: She has ice powers.
• The Cutie: She’s a pretty girl with a sweet, innocent personality.
• 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.
• Hopeless Suitor: She has a crush on Aquaman, being unaware that he's married.
• Innocent Blue Eyes
• Lovely Angels: With Fire.
• Mystical White Hair
• Nice Girl
• Precocious Crush: She has a crush on Aquaman, despite the fact that she’s a teenager and he’s old enough to have a preteen son.
• Sexy Scandinavian: She's The Cutie of the group, very pretty in a revealing outfit, and she's of Scandinavian descent.
• Ship Tease: With Guy Gardner.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Fire's Tomboy.
• Winter Royal Lady: She's a princess, who's father is king of the ice people.

Martian Manhunter

Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz)

Voiced by: Nicholas Guest

• Humanoid Aliens: Resembles a green skinned humanoid in his default form.
• Only Sane Man: Is the most sensible and level-headed member of Justice League International aside from Batman

Plastic Man

Plastic Man (Edward "Eel" O'Brian)

Voiced by: Tom Kenny ^{Foreign VAs}Emmanuel Garijo (FR)

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.

---

• Adaptational Name Change: His forename is changed from Patrick to Edward in this show.
• Adaptation Origin Connection: This version of Plastic Man was once a henchman of Kite Man and had Batman responsible for the accident that gave him his stretching powers as well as his path towards redeeming himself by becoming a superhero. In the comics, neither of them had any involvement in Plastic Man's origin.
• All of the Other Reindeer: In "Cry Freedom Fighters!", he jumps at the chance to join the patriotic super-team, even though he himself is not very patriotic.
  Plas: C'mon, Bats, no one's ever wanted me to be a part of their team. Even the League threw me out.
• Anti-Hero: Believes strongly in morality and justice, but is still sometimes distracted by his craving for money.
• The Atoner: He wants to make up for his life of crime by fighting other ne'er-do-wells.
• Big Eater: Has one of these moments in the episode Terror on Dinosaur Island when he manages to effortlessly swallow tons of gold bars and coins and use said gold bars and coins to then fire them at Grodd's goons.
• Butt-Monkey: He spends the entirety of the Owlman episode being humiliated, either by Batman or circumstances.
• Chivalrous Pervert: He has a wife and a child, but that doesn't stop him from regularly hitting on the superheroines he meets. The chivalry shows when Catwoman expresses her interest in him, to which he replies "Tempting. But I'm really more of a dog person".
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Though it's not portrayed in a badass way, he actually comes the closest to catching the real Batman in "Game Over for Owlman!" out of everyone.
• Deadpan Snarker: Only in the episode "Night of the Batmen" when he snarkily calls Shazam Bat Elvis.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Happens with Fire, Phantom Lady, and Catwoman in the episodes "Terror on Dinosaur Island", "Cry Freedom Fighters", and "Night of the Batmen" respectively. Catwoman however did not return his affections and repeatedly swung her whip at him out of anger.
• The Fool: Who is most likely Obfuscating Stupidity.
• Freak Lab Accident: A fall into a vat of chemicals gave him his stretching abilities.
• Fun Personified: Is much more light-hearted than the other heroes and has a jokester personality.
• Good Counterpart: To the Joker. He gained his powers from being thrown into chemicals during a heist that Batman foiled, and Batman assumed full responsibility for his rehabilitation, which Plastic Man suspects was out of guilt for the whole incident.
• Greed: His main sin. Even after becoming a hero, he still hasn’t completely dropped it.
• Heel–Face Turn: After Batman saved him from his life of crime, he tries to go cold turkey and struggles with it.
• Henpecked Husband: Seen in "Long Arm of the Law!". Apparently, his wife doesn't take his crime fighting very seriously and can rule him out of it, for example in favor of taking their baby to a museum, though her attitude is somewhat justified by how ineffectual and irresponsible Plas can be.
• Hero with an F in Good: Due to his criminal background, it takes some time for Batman to trust him. He also makes a lot of mistakes and his flaws mean that not many heroes actually like him. However, he's working on it.
• Heroes Love Dogs: Plastic Man is a well-meaning superhero and gets along well with his family's dachshund.
• Kleptomaniac Hero: His attention is often dragged away from the original purpose and shifted to riches when there are some involved.
• Loved I Not Honor More: The episode "Long Arm of the Law!" incorporates nearly all of the tropes associated with this, including the Heroic Sacrifice. Different in that in this case Plas is sympathized with rather than the woman in such a situation and Ramona all but supports Plas in his actions.
• Money Fetish: This guy loooves money. He couldn’t resist when he’s in a room full of jewelry.
• Mr. Vice Guy: Often swayed by temptations, most prominently the desire for wealth, but he has also been shown to react 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.
• Personality Powers: As non-serious and wacky as Plas himself is.
• Rubber Man: He has stretching powers.
• Sad Clown: Some of this is visible in most of his episodes, "Cry Freedom Fighters!" especially, but it's not excessively elaborated on.
• Sidekick: Woozy Winks is his sidekick.
• Voluntary Shapeshifter: He often uses his stretching powers to take on different forms.
• Wingding Eyes: His eyes turn into dollar signs when he sees opportunities to get rich.

The Question

The Question (Charles Victor Szasz)

Voiced by: Nicolas Guest (series), Jeffrey Combs (movie) ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné [1st voice], Marc Perez [2nd voice] (FR)

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 in Distress: He's first introduced having been captured by Equinox, who plans to kill him to offset the simultaneous death of Gorilla Grodd. Batman frees him in time.
• Badass Normal: No powers to speak of, just a really good detective. And that's all he needs.
• Big Damn Heroes: In Darkseid Descending! he operates the Boom-Tube which sends all the invaders back whence they came.
• A Day in the Limelight: Plays a bigger role in Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Though he's impersonated by the Riddler for most of it.
• The Faceless: Look at the image, folks.

Red Tornado

Red Tornado (John Ulthoon)

Voiced by: Corey Burton ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Alfos (FR)

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 Professor of Archaeology 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
  • Incorporates Hypocritical Humor, as he tells a student that archaeology is nothing like in the movies, with no adventure.
• Blow You Away: Has his trademark wind powers.
• Color Character: Red Tornado.
• Creepy Monotone: Though it's more deadpan than creepy.
• Good Thing You Can Be Rebuilt: Due to being a robot, he can get blown to pieces without any lasting harm, such as when the Faceless Hunter blows him to pieces.
• Hollywood Tone-Deaf: As seen when he sings part of "Jingle Bells" in his monotone voice.
• Latex Perfection: Not quite (his eyes are far too vivid to be human), but none of his students have noticed Professor Ulthoon is actually a robot wearing a mask.
• Robot Buddy
• The Spock
• Taught by Television: Tells Batman his attempted mentoring of Tornado Champion was just derived from movies and books.
• Tin Man
• Uncertain Doom: Is last seen in the show being destroyed by the Faceless Hunter in a Batman Cold Open, due to Red Tornado being immune to Starro's mind control. While it was previously shown that he can be rebuilt if destroyed, it's never confirmed if he was after the Starro arc.

Robin/Nightwing

Robin/Nightwing (Dick Grayson)

Voiced by: Crawford Wilson (teenager), Jeremy Shada (child), Lex Lang (adult), Grey DeLisle (Bat-Manga version), and Jason Marsden (Scooby-Doo version) ^{Foreign VAs}Alexis Tomassian [teenager, child, Bat-Manga version], Donald Reignoux [adult], and Paolo Domingo [Scooby-Doo version] (FR)

Boy Wonder no more, Robin has struck out on his own as defender of the city of Blüdhaven. Although he's become a successful crime-fighter in his own right, Dick Grayson still chafes at the memory of taking orders from Batman, and will take any opportunity to prove himself an equal to his old mentor.

---

• Bat Signal
• Composite Character: This Robin is a composite of the modern and old Earth-Two Robins (See Mythology Gag below). In terms of attitude, he also takes on some of Jason Todd's more hot-blooded traits, rather than Dick's genial personality.
• Dating Catwoman: Averted. While he has a crush on Talia al Ghul, she doesn't reciprocate ''at all''.
• Headbutting Heroes: With Batman. And Aqualad. And Speedy.
• Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut: The city of Blüdhaven.
• The Leader: When he teams up with the various other Robins, he immediately falls into this role, being the oldest and most experienced.
• Legacy Character: Takes on the mantle of Batman after Bruce retires following the apparent death of the Joker and his marriage to Selina Kyle in the what-if story "The Knights of Tomorrow!"
• Mythology Gag: While his personality and the setting of his episode (in Blüdhaven) are based on Dick Grayson as Nightwing in the main DCU continuity, his costume and unchanged superhero identity are references to the Golden Age Earth-Two version of the character, who never outgrew his role as Robin... at least until he does take up the Nightwing identity (and original high-collared costume!) at the end of "Sidekicks Assemble!".
• Opinion Flip Flop: He initially snubbed the idea of all the sidekicks teaming up. Then he got a taste of leadership and decided it was a great idea.
• The Resenter: Robin isn't too happy with his mentor treating him like he's still the Boy Wonder, even when he's an adult and protecting Bludhaven. Thankfully, this lets up when he becomes Nightwing.
• Sidekick: The quintessential example, though since his appearances in the show deal with him growing out of his mentor's shadow, his collaborations with Batman are treated more like even-keeled superhero team-ups.
• Sidekick Graduations Stick: When he becomes Nightwing in "Sidekicks Assemble!" and Batman in "The Knights of Tomorrow!".
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Deathly afraid of monkeys, apparently.

Wildcat

Wildcat (Ted Grant)

Voiced by: R. Lee Ermey ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Murzeau (FR)

A crime fighter from a bygone era who originally taught Batman how to box, 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.

---

• Animal Motifs: Cats, natch. He even mentions he has nine lives.
• Badass Normal: All he's got are his fists and that's the way he likes it.
• Batman Gambit: Goads Slug into releasing him from a trap by ridiculing his looks.
  "Tell me, how do you stand to look at yourself in the mirror? If I saw that face starin' back at me, I'd have nightmares!"
• Cool Old Guy: He's generally able to fight as well as Batman despite his old age and not carrying any weapons.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Wildcat's signature style
• Grumpy Old Man: He’s old, with a grouchy demeanor.
• Made of Iron: Justified, since he's a former boxing champion. Ted Grant knows how to take a punch, or several. Part of his plan to defeat Slug involves provoking the guy into beating the crap out of him.
• Mentor: He's established in his first appearance as the guy who taught Batman to box. "The Golden Age of Justice!" shows that he and the other Justice Society members actively trained Batman in other ways, as well as Black Canary.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Tells the Outsiders as much, he used to be an outcast like them.
• Old Superhero: Deconstructed in his first appearance, where Batman worries about his health.
• Papa Wolf: Recognizes the Outsiders not as villains but as lost kids in need of guidance and takes them under his wing to turn them into real heroes.
• Parental Substitute: Batman refers to him as one. Also becomes one to the Outsiders
• Tempting Fate: He keeps making fun of Batman for asking him for help with Bane. Then Bane does his thing...

The Outsiders

As a whole

A group of teenage superheroes (loosely based on a DC Comics superhero team) consisting of leader Black Lightning, swordswoman Katana, and goofball Shapeshifter 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. By 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).

---

• Age Lift: In the comics, they're adults with Black Lightning as a teacher, Metamorpho as an adventurer, and Katana having previously been a wife and mother. Here, they're all teenagers.

Black Lightning

Black Lightning (Jefferson Pierce)

Voiced by: Bumper Robinson ^{Foreign VAs}Alexis Tomassian (FR)

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 isn't evil, just really cranky.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: He's... a little bit more temperamental than his comic book incarnations.
• Age Lift: In most incarnations, he's one of the older superheroes of the DCU, even having two teenage or adult daughters. Here, however, he's a teenager.
• "Angry Black Man" Stereotype: Well, Ticked-Off Black Teen anyway.
• Anything but That!: "Not Uri the Unicorn!"
• Color Character: What do you mean 'color' character, fool?
• Compressed Hair: In the teaser for "Duel of the Double Crossers!", he reveals that he has an afro-style haircut underneath his hood.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Black Lightning's dream sequence in "Inside the Outsiders!" has him zapping civilians for such minor infractions as driving a Hummer to pick up groceries, wearing white after Labor Day, and not picking up after their dogs.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Every little thing fills him with ridiculous levels of anger.
• Knight in Sour Armor: The thing that sets him off worst? A cutesy kids TV show. ("Hugs do not solve everybody's problems!")
• Magical Defibrillator: In "Enter the Outsiders!"
• Shock and Awe

Katana

Katana (Tatsu Yamashiro)

Voiced by: Vyvan Pham ("Enter the Outsiders!") and Kim Mai Guest ("Inside the Outsiders!" onward) ^{Foreign VAs}Chantal Macé [1st voice], Kelvine Dumour [2nd voice] (FR)

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.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: Her sword slices through metal and concrete. It's so sharp it can slash a cookie stand in two. Justified, as it's powered by magic.
• Action Girl: She can handle even Batman in a fight.
• Badass Normal: Unlike her teammates, she doesn't have any superpowers with the exception, perhaps, of her absudly sharp sword.
• Expy/Shout-Out: At least visually, the show's version of Katana was influenced by Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill.
• Hime Cut: She has the hair style typically associated with Heian era Japanese noblewoman but here it's basically a Culture Equals Costume thing marking as a Japanese girl.
• Magic Skirt: In all of her appearences.
• Origins Episode: The first section of "Inside the Outsiders!" explains her origins. See The Quiet One below.
• The Quiet One: She barely speaks in "Enter the Outsiders!", and when she does, Black Lightning and Metamorpho immediately stop whatever they are doing in order to listen to her. "Inside the Outsiders!" shows her backstory, which explains her reasons for this: she let slip the location of the magical sword that eventually became hers, resulting in her master being murdered.
• Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Vs. Despero in "Duel of the Double Crossers!"

Metamorpho

Metamorpho (Rex Mason)

Voiced by: Scott Menville ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez (FR)

Metamorpho has the ability to change his body into any shape, as well as transforming into any member of the periodic table of elements.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: He is much younger, goofier and more naïve than his comic counterpart.
• Beware the Nice Ones: In "Inside the Outsiders!", we find out he has a lot of bottled-up anger.
• Big Eater: His unique abilities apparently require lots of energy, as he is seen almost constantly eating during the show.
• Curbstomp Battle: In the two part episode "The Siege of Starro!" when the team consisting of Batman, Booster Gold, Firestorm, and Shazam is sent to do combat with Starro's mind controlled army of heroes, Firestorm is one of the heroes on Batman's side who Metamorpho delivers a Curbstomp Battle to.
• Extreme Omnivore: He gleefully drinks Wildcat's "Tiger Tonic" and calls it "the best milkshake ever!".
• Shapeshifting Squick: Since he can turn into gases and liquids, he could force himself into people.
  Wildcat: He got in my mouth!
• Stepford Smiler: He's generally an upbeat guy, but "Inside the Outsiders!" reveals he's been holding back considerable anger about being perceived as a freak.
• Voluntary Shapeshifter

Minor Heroes

Aqualad

Aqualad (Garth)

Voiced by: Zack Shada (teenager) and Zachary Gordon (child) ^{Foreign VAs}Paolo Domingo (FR)

AQUAMAN's 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.

---

• The Chew Toy: His role in AQUAMAN's sitcom.
• Headbutting Heroes: Garth and Dick Grayson can't get along for more than five minutes.
• Human Shield: "Aqualad is my decoy!"
• Remember the New Guy?: A minor case. Speedy and Robin appeared in an episode each before "Sidekicks Assemble!". Aqualad only got a mention.
• Sidekick: He's AQUAMAN's sidekick.
• Taking the Bullet: It's Played for Laughs in the opening of AQUAMAN's sitcom, but he doesn't appear in the rest of the segment...

Bat-Ape

Bat-Ape (Mogo)

Bat-Ape aka Mogo is an ape who was saved by Batman and Robin from poachers. Since then, he aided the duo in fighting jungle-based crime as Bat-Ape. As a symbol of his affiliation, Bat-Ape wears one of Batman's Bat masks. While the Dynamic Duo fought Catwoman, Batman summoned Bat-Ape to help turn the tide. He defeated Hecate, Catwoman's pet panther.

• Animal Superheroes: Is a gorilla in a Batman cowl who fights crime in the jungle.
• Killer Gorilla: Mogo is a massive gorilla able to throw down with a black panther and win.

Batgirl

Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)

Commissioner Gordon's daughter and a former protégé of Batman's.

• Legacy Character: According to the comic "Batman Dies At Dawn!", she's not the first Batgirl^note Technically this is true as Betty Kane was the first Batgirl, acting as sidekick to the first Batwoman during the Golden Age., and she won't be the last either, with two more following her.

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.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: Considering that virtually nothing was explained about Tlano in his original comic appearance, this was inevitable. His Clark Kent-like secret identity and supporting cast were entirely constructed for the show.
• Adaptation Origin Connection: Subverted. In the original comic story, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh was directly inspired by Bruce's adventures after observing Earth through an advanced telescope. He also intentionally summons Bruce to Zur-En-Arrh with the knowledge that an Earthling would be granted Superman-like powers. In the show, their meeting is treated as pure coincidence.
• Animal Motifs: Bats again. The gaudy, outlandish color of his costume is because on Zur-En-Arrh, bats look a little... different (they're much bigger, for one thing.)
• Badass Normal: Has no powers, but still kicks butt.
• Casting Gag: Kevin Conroy returns as Batman!...'s gaudy alien doppelganger.
• Clark Kenting: In his civilian identity, he acts like a klutzy doofus with a higher voice than in his superhero guise.
• Composite Character: He's basically Bruce Wayne with Clark Kent's dayjob.
• Expy: His home of Gothtropolis seems more like our Metropolis than Gotham City, with Tlano himself closer to Superman than our Batman.
• Green-Eyed Monster: The presence of Earth's Batman begins to grate on him after a while. That Bruce manages to draw the attention of his crush might have something to do with it. Downplayed though as he doesn’t let his envy get in the way of his job and is quick to come to Bruce’s aide, in the end parting with him on good terms.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: Bright red, yellow, and purple. Considering the Zeerust aesthetic of his city, it actually makes some sense.
• Human Aliens: Like everyone on Zur-En-Arrh, Tlano looks exactly like a human.
• Robot Butler: Alpha-Red.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: One trait that he definitely shares with his human counterpart. He's unfailingly logical in his reaction to encountering (from his perspective) an alien doppelganger with the same costume and superhero identity. The two instantly get along, at least until the Batman of Earth starts catching the eye of Tlano's love interest.

Black Orchid

Black Orchid (Susan Linden)

After living under the roof of an abusive father, Susan Linden married Carl Thorne, a wealthy gun dealer who worked for the billionaire industrialist, Lex Luthor. Thorne stole a weapons shipment but Linden found out. After she went to the authorities, Thorne killed Linden. Philip Sylvian, a childhood friend and botanist, combined Linden's genetic material with an experimental hybrid of animal and plant matter. The being known as Black Orchid was born. She used her newfound powers to fight crime as a super hero.

---

• Cute Mute: Does not speak, and is beautiful enough to impersonate one of Poison Ivy's Flower Children.
• Flying Brick
• Master of Disguise: Flawlessly matches the appearance of one of Ivy's Flower Children.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: One of the few heroes to ever pull this on Batman.
• Super-Strength: Strong enough to rip Ivy's giant Man-Eating Plant out by its roots.

Blue Beetle II

Blue Beetle II (Ted Kord)

Voiced by: Wil Wheaton ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez [1st voice], Mathias Kozlowski [2nd voice] (FR)

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 access to the power of the Blue Scarab, but on the other hand he could create useful gadgets based on 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 his megalomaniac uncle from dominating the world. Alongside Batman, Jaime considers Ted as a big influence to become a superhero himself.

---

• Badass Normal: Since he couldn't activate the Scarab, he relies on gadgets and martial arts like Batman does.
• 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.
• Composite Character: Takes the role his predecessor Dan Garrett served in his own origin story, sacrificing his life to stop his uncle.
• Due to the Dead: His headquarters included a display honoring his mentor and predecessor, Dan Garrett. Ted in turn was honored for his sacrifice with a statue in Hub City Central Park.
• Evil Uncle: Jarvis.
• Expy: His heroic death has much more in common with that of Captain America's sidekick Bucky than his actual death in the comics.
• Heroic Sacrifice: To foil his Evil Uncle's plot, he takes a rocket off course and detonates it while still on it.
  Jamie: Ted didn't make it?
  Batman: I wasn't sure you were ready to know about this. Our work is dangerous and not all hero stories have happy endings.
• Horrible Judge of Character: Didn't realise his uncle was maybe not the best person to trust the Scarab to.
• Legacy Character: He's the second Blue Beetle.
• Odd Friendship: Ted could be both a consummate professional on a case and a fun guy to party with, which made it easy for him to interact with either Batman or Booster Gold. The two heroes are surprised to learn that Ted's a mutual friend, given how different they themselves are from each other. He never bothered to mention it, though, as he fully expected them to not get along (which was the case for a while).
• Posthumous Character: Despite his being killed off way before the beginning of the story, he has a good amount of flashbacks in "The Fall of Blue Beetle!", and in "Menace of the Madniks!" he practically guest stars the episode along with Booster.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He is literally the Blue Oni to Booster's Red Oni.

Bronze Tiger

Bronze Tiger (Ben Turner)

Voiced by: Gary Sturgis ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

Although he studied combat at the same remote Eastern temple as Batman, Bronze Tiger never finished his martial-arts training, walking out of the temple in frustration with their master. Nowadays he makes a living as a champion martial artist, with all the ego you'd expect from someone who hasn't lost a fight in years.

---

• Adaptation Origin Connection: "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!" has flashbacks that depict him training alongside Batman and the Terrible Trio prior to Bruce becoming Batman. While Ben Turner is himself a martial artist, there are no hints he ever trained with Bruce and the Terrible Trio aren't martial artists in the comics. Instead the comics version of Ben trained for years alongside Richard Dragon, with the two becoming as close as brothers.
• Animal Motifs: Tigers.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Pretty egotistical towards his sensei and fellow students. Not that he doesn't have the feats to back it up.
• Color Character: Bronze Tiger.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Has one of these moments after he grows tired of his sensei being faster than him and leaves the Temple temporarily.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's pretty obnoxious and unwilling to help Batman, but he's devoted to protecting his people.
• The Rival: To Batman.

Captain Atom

Captain Atom (Nathaniel Adams)

Voiced by: Brian Bloom ^{Foreign VAs}Mark Lesser (FR)

A former Air Force Captain who was atomized in a scientific experiment gone wrong. He acquired super strength, flight, and energy blast projection. With these powers, Nathaniel became Captain Atom.

---

• Adaptational Jerkass: While he's not perfect in the comics (which is because of Depending on the Writer), he isn't an arrogant Smug Super just like in this show.
• Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, he can fight Batman in hand-to-hand combat even without his powers. Here, he can't even open a jar of pickles without his powers, despite his large muscles.
• Aesop Amnesia: Even after he regained his powers, he's still arrogant and claims that anyone without powers is helpless.
• Break the Haughty: After he briefly lost his powers, he spends most of the episode getting his ego knocked down a peg.
• Brought Down to Normal: Pretty much his main role in "Powerless!".
• Good Is Not Nice: Despite being a superhero, he’s an obnoxious jerk.
• Jerkass: He’s an egotistical jerk who looks down on people who don’t have superpowers.
• Light Is Good: While he's admittedly a Jerkass, he still tries to do good.
• Smug Super: Arrogant about his powers and thought Batman wasn’t a good superhero just because he has no superpowers.
• Super-Strength: Just like in the comics and as a result from a expirement.

Deadman

Deadman (Boston Brand)

Voiced by: Michael Rosenbaum ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

Once a circus performer, Boston Brand was killed in the middle of an acrobatic act, and now spends his time floating around in the limbo after death.

---

• Character Catchphrase: "Are we gonna stand around and twiddle, or get down ta business?"
• Clingy Costume: His ghost is stuck wearing the outfit he was wearing when he died.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Deadman said it best when he said "Grim maybe but i ain't no reaper."
• In the Hood: Introduced hanging around in a hooded robe, until he takes it off to reveal his performing outfit.
• Joisey: He's got the accent, mac.
• Verbal Tic: Tends to call folks "mac", mac.

Detective Chimp

Detective Chimp

Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez (FR)

A chimp, with an expertise for detective work. Together, he and Batman solve crime.

---

• Chivalrous Pervert: He, a chimp, blatantly hits on Vixen, a human, when they're locked up together.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: With Batman, in his first appearance. And Batman is the good cop.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: He infiltrates GASP as... a waiter. Gorilla Grodd spots him instantly.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: A chimp detective may be, but he's capable of brawling with gorillas.

Doctor Fate

Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)

Voiced by: Greg Ellis ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez [1st voice], Marc Alfos [2nd voice] (FR)

Magic-using hero, servant of the 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.

---

• The Ageless: Despite having been part of the Justice Society of America and a hero since the 1940's, under the Helmet of Fate he's still a handsome young man.
• Boxing Lessons for Superman: He took boxing lessons from Batman.
• Combat Pragmatist: He may be a powerful sorcerer, but he learned to fight just in case.
• Cool Helmet: It's the source of his power.
• Elaborate Underground Base: Actually it's on ground level, but invisible. May also be bigger on the inside than outside.
• Order Versus Chaos: He works for the Lords of Order, opposed to the Lords of Chaos.

Doom Patrol

Doom Patrol

Voiced by: Henry Rollins (Robotman), David K. Hill (Negative Man), Olivia D Abo (Elasti-Girl), Richard McGonagle (The Chief) ^{Foreign VAs}Jérôme Pauwels [Robotman], Mathias Kozlowski [Negative Man], Edwige Lemoine [Elasti-Girl], Thierry Murzeau [The Chief] (FR)

A group founded and led by the Chief (Dr. Niles Caudler), with their main members being Robotman (Cliff Steele), Negative Man (Larry Trainor), and Elasti-Girl (Rita Farr).

Nine years ago, the group disbanded after failing to rescue a woman from a hostage situation at the Tragedy of Paris. However, the return of General Zahl called them back to action. ...for the last time.

Beast Boy (Garfield Logan) and Mento (Steve Dayton) were formerly members of the Doom Patrol, though were only seen in the comics.

---

• All Your Powers Combined: The tie-in comics had Mad Mod steal the clothes of Negative Man and Elasti-Girl as well as the robotic body of Robotman to integrate them all into into "suits of doom" that use all their powers.
• The Cameo:
  • Beast Boy is on one of the posters at Negative Man's circus.
  • In the tie-in comics, Mento is seen to have been one of the superheroes that helped fight off the Void.
• Death in the Limelight: The only time they appear in the show is also the last.
• Knight in Sour Armor: A literal example in Robotman's case.
• Mythology Gag: Beast Boy (who only appears in the tie-in comics) is obviously based off of his iteration in the Teen Titans cartoon, albeit with a domino mask added.

Elongated Man

Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny)

Voiced by: Sean Donnellan ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez (FR)

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.

---

• Adaptational Badass: For the most part, Elongated Man in the comics is well behind Plastic Man in terms of powers, and mostly limited to regular stretching, with him getting by mostly on skill and intellect. Here, he appears to be equal to (if not better than) Plastic Man, to the point of being a shapeshifter like him.
• Always Someone Better: While it's not touched upon by the characters, he is shown to have a definite advantage over Plastic Man in one area: He can change colour when he shapeshifts, which Plastic Man can't do.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: He's hurt when Babyface has no idea who he is.
• Hero with an F in Good: He's working on it.
• The Rival: To Plastic Man.
• Superhero Speciation: Elongated Man and Plastic Man begin an episode bickering over this very subject.

The Flash II

The Flash II (Barry Allen)

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk ^{Foreign VAs}Vincent Ropion [1st voice], Christophe Lemoine [2nd voice] (FR)

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: 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.
• Super-Speed: Of course.

The Flash I

The Flash I (Jay Garrick)

Voiced by: Andy Milder ^{Foreign VAs}Christophe Lemoine (FR)

One of the oldest heroes around. Jay Garrick is the original Flash and was a member of the Justice Society with Wild Cat. Jay Garrick also has the same appearance and costume as his comic book incarnation that is from the Golden Age.

---

• Mentor: He was one to Batman and several other younger heroes.
• Retired Badass: He's an old man but still willing to fight crime when duty calls.
• Super-Speed: He can move at superhuman speeds.

Green Lantern (G'Nort)

Green Lantern (G'Nort)

Voiced by: Alexander Polinsky ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez (FR)

A bungling Green Lantern who somehow managed to get in to the Corps despite not even knowing the words to the oath. Assists Batman, Guy Gardner, and Sinestro against Despero (well, "assists").

---

• All Up to You: He is tasked with freeing Mogo from Despero's control before they reach Earth.
• The Ditz: He can't even spell the word "green" correctly.
• Hero with an F in Good: He is a Green Lantern... barely. He's pretty aware that he's not really good at the whole heroing thing.
• Mondegreen Gag: He repeatedly flubs up the Green Lantern oath. Even with his "cheat sheet".
• Nepotism: How he managed to get into the Corps in the first place. Normally, the rings chose people because of their willpower. G'Nort just got in because his uncle pulled some strings.
• Too Dumb to Live: Besides his cheat sheet, there's the reason why he was in a cell with Guy and Sinestro. He locked himself in while bringing them their meals.
• Wrong Line of Work: Green Lanterns are usually chosen for their courage and willpower, while G'Nort only got the job because of his uncle. The Guardians of the Universe, well aware of G'nort's lack of ability, assigned him to a sector of space with no intelligent life, so he wouldn't cause any problems. But despite this, he is still noble and dedicated to his work.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Batman tells G'Nort he can be a hero, G'Nort later proves Batman's faith in him wasn't unfounded.
  "It's the ring, not the man."

Hawk and Dove

Hawk and Dove (Hank Hall and Don Hall)

Voiced by: Greg Ellis (Hawk), Dee Bradley Baker (Dove) ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Perez [Hawk], Michel Vigné [Dove] (FR)

The sibling duo of Hank and Don Hall fight crime together as the heroes Hawk and Dove... when they're not fighting each other.

---

• Blood Knight: Hawk.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The temperamental Hawk is red, peace-loving Don is blue, and their outfits reflect it.
• Sibling Team: Well, "team" is being pretty generous. But they are brothers.
• We ARE Struggling Together: They assist Batman in a mission, but they spend just as much time yelling at one another over their different approaches to fighting, before escalating into trying to beat the tar out of one another.

The Inferior Five

A team of... well, technically super-heroes. Consisting of Merryman (team leader), Awkward Man, Blimp, Dumb Bunny, and Whitefeather. Together, they fight crime. Poorly.

---

• All There in the Manual: They appear in the tie-in comic, and get a background mention in "Mayhem of the Music Meister".
• Dirty Coward: Whitefeather's approach to crime fighting is to hide. Even from a single purse-snatcher.
• The Ditz: Dumb Bunny, as the name suggests. She actually tries to return a purse to the guy who stole it, rather than the victim.
• The Klutz: Awkward Man. Not exactly a good combination with super strength, especially when he inevitably falls over.
• The Smurfette Principle: Dumb Bunny is the only gal on the team.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: The one time they appear to successfully do some superheroics, they turn out to have bungled one of Batman's cases. And, in Awkward Man's case, fallen on him.

Jonah Hex

Jonah Hex

Voiced by: Phil Morris ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Murzeau (FR)

Famed bounty hunter of the Wild West, with an interesting life. Mongul once recruited him to serve as a bounty hunter.

---

• Anti-Hero: He ruthlessly hunts down bounties give to him by Mongul, including Batman, all so he can get sent back to his own time.
• Badass in Distress: One episode begins with him about to be executed by a Wild West incarnation of the Royal Flush Gang. Batman saves him.
• Bounty Hunter: The greatest bounty hunter in history, with his talents so acclaimed that Mongul recruits him from the future.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: He gets taken to the 21st century by Mongul. Averted though, in that he doesn't really have any problem with it.
• Foe Romance Subtext: With Lashina. After taking care of Mongul and Mongal, they ride off into the sunset together.
• Perpetual Frowner: Jonah almost never smiles. Though he does smile around Lashina...

The Justice Society of America

The Justice Society of America

Voiced by: William Katt (Hawkman), Corey Burton (Doctor Midnight), Lex Lang (Hourman), Grey DeLisle (Black Canary I) ^{Foreign VAs}Nicolas Marié [Hawkman], Philippe Peythieu [Doctor Midnight], Nicolas Marié [Hourman], Barbara Beretta [Black Canary I] (FR)

The heroes of yesterday, still around and kicking despite their increasingly advanced age, along with occasionally teaching the younger generation how to do things. Includes Flash I, Green Lantern I, Hawkman, Doctor Mid-Nite, Starman, Mr. Terrific, Dr. Fate, The Spectre, Sandman, Hourman, Wildcat and the first Black Canary.

For the entries on Flash I , Dr. Fate, and Wildcat, see their respective sheets.

---

• Adapted Out: Hawkgirl/Sheira Hall and Johnny Thunder are both absent from the team.
• Badass Normal: Hawkman has no actual superpowers, his abilities come from a flying harness and a big honking mace.
• Fountain of Youth: Thanks to Degaton's staff, they all briefly get de-aged back to their physical prime.
• Handicapped Badass: Doctor Midnight is blind. You'd never know from watching him punch out several soldiers with ease.
• In the Hood: Hourman's costume includes a hood.
• Kryptonite Factor: Alan Scott's Green Lantern ring runs a little differently from Gardner and Jordan's. It doesn't do wood, something Guy tries to taunt him about.
• Lighter and Softer: In the comics, Hourman's powers came from Miraclo, a wonder drug with the side effects of occasional hallucinations, enhanced rage and horrifically painful come-down. Obviously, that wasn't going to fly on a kid's show, so he just gets an hour of power from his hourglass.
• The Mentor: They were Batman and Black Canary's mentors.
• Not That Kind of Doctor: Averted with Doctor Midnight, who really is that kind of doctor.
• Old Superhero: All of them were heroes long before Batman was ever born. Unfortunately, this also means they're no longer in quite the same shape they were, something they're reluctantly aware of.
• Posthumous Character: The first Black Canary died several years before the series started. The remaining members are over-protective of her daughter for that exact reason.
• Pungeon Master: It was Hourman who impressed on Bats the value of quips when he foils evil-doers.
• Remember the New Guy?: After "The Golden Age of Justice", Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Sandman, and Starman show up as members in season 3.
• The Smurfette Principle: Black Canary was the team's only female member.
• Super-Strength: Hourman can pancake tanks.
• Unwanted Assistance: They pester Batman while he's trying to track Degaton by telling him how to work his scanner. Which he built.
• Vague Age: Assuming the show is set relative to the time it was released (the mid-00s) and the characters debuted the same time they did in the comics (late 1930s to early 40s), they should all be pushing upward of seventy. The only ones who really look the part are Hourman and Wildcat.

Justice Underground

Justice Underground

The heroic counterparts of various villains Batman and his allies have faced. They are the heroes who oppose the Injustice Syndicate.

---

• Adapted Out: Perhaps owing to Superman and Wonder Woman being restricted from use at the time "Deep Cover for Batman!/Game Over for Owlman!" originally aired, they are not led by Lex Luthor's Earth-3 counterpart.
• Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: They aren't really addressed as Justice Underground, but are clearly this continuity's interpretation of the DC villains' heroic counterparts from the Crime Syndicate's universe.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Gentleman Ghost's heroic counterpart dresses in black, but is still a good guy.
• Mythology Gag: Sinestro's heroic counterpart wears a yellow version of his Green Lantern costume, alluding to how the comic version of Sinestro obtained a yellow power ring after his discharge from the Green Lantern Corps and eventually founded his own Sinestro Corps.
• No Name Given: None of them are given actual names.
• Shout-Out: The coloring of the costume of Dr. Polaris's heroic counterpart makes him resemble Magneto.
• The Voiceless: None of them have speaking roles.

Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth

Kamandi

Voiced by: Mikey Kelley ^{Foreign VAs}Alexis Tomassian (FR)

The last human left in a future where mankind has met with an unspecified apocalypse known only as The Great Disaster, which has left humanoid animals in charge. Kamandi tries to keep a peace between the varying animal kingdoms as they war.

---

• Earth-Shattering Kaboom: In his last appearance, the Joker blows up the entire Earth, presumably killing Kamandi and everyone else in his timeline with it.
• Fantastic Racism: Living inbetween the war of animals has left him with a dim view of both tigers and monkeys, and if he weren't dedicated to helping humans, he'd just let them wipe each other out (though this doesn't apply to Tuftan, his tiger friend).
• Last of His Kind: He's one of the last humans left in his time, and the only one shown with any intelligence.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Evidently the event that destroyed all human society took any and all shirts with it.

The Metal Men

The Metal Men

A group of highly advanced robots, created by renowned scientist Milton Magnus. Their numbers include Gold, Platinum, Mercury, Iron, Lead and Tin.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: Not the Metal Men themselves, but Doc Magnus's full name in the comics was "William Maxwell Magnus" and went by "Will". This version's full name is "William Milton Magnus" and goes by his middle name.
• Covert Pervert: Platinum turns into a chair so Batman can sit on her. Then she comments "best seat in the house".
• Dumb Muscle: Lead is the strongest member of the team, but also has to be reminded what his own name is.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mercury is rude and standoff-ish, but still as heroic as the others.
  Mercury: (to Batman) What's it too ya?!
• The Load: Tin's opinion of himself.
  Batman: Every hero has a part to play.
• Rubber Man: Each of them is capable of altering their shape into pretty much anything.
• The Smurfette Principle: Platinum is the only female member of the team.

OMAC

O.M.A.C. (Buddy Blank)

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

A janitor in a future-time, Buddy Blank was altered by the Global Peacekeeping Agency into OMAC, the One-Man Army Corps, a living weapon. Assisted by the Brother Eye satellite, OMAC acts on the GPA's behest. Neither Buddy or OMAC have any knowledge of the other.

---

• Adaptational Jerkass: The original OMAC from the comics was frequently a bit stiff, but he spent a lot of time ruminating on the consequences of his actions and was incredibly caring towards humanity. This version is more callous and brutal, and isn't particularly careful about breaking things in the name of peace - though he does mellow out towards the end. It's worth noting that the comics OMAC remembered that he was once Buddy Blank, which might be the reason for their differences.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Buddy, an unpowered human, manages to successfully tackle Equinox, the agent of the lords of order and chaos.
• Good Is Not Soft: OMAC subdues General Kafka, then tries to blow the man's head of.
• Henshin Hero: Buddy is transformed by energy beamed down from Brother Eye.
• Hot Blooded Sideburns: OMAC, who is pretty hot-tempered (at least at first).
• The Klutz: Buddy. When called in to clean up a spillage, he accidentally causes a new one.
• Nice Guy: Buddy's a very good-natured person.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: OMAC's fight with Shrapnel manages to badly damage a nearby nuclear power plant, requiring Batman to nearly sacrifice himself to fix it.
• No Kill like Overkill: OMAC's M.O. is to go in swinging and do as much damage as possible, at least at first.
• One-Man Army: As the name suggests. OMAC manages to plough through the forces outside Kafka's base, including several soldiers and tanks.
• Primary-Color Champion: OMAC's outfit is largely blue, with some gold and red mixed in.

Princess Laethwen

Princess Laethwen

Voiced by: Gabrielle Carteris ^{Foreign VAs}Céline Melloul (FR)

A Katarthan princess and the love interest of Atom (Ray Palmer), a relationship that Deraegis doesn't approve of until he is brought to justice.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: Her bra shows less cleavage than the one she wore in the comics.
• Adaptational Heroism: Unlike her comic book counterpart which has become a Black Lantern in the comics at one point, Laethwen is a hero in this continuity. It helps that this incarnation of Laethwen doesn't die in the first place and that this continuity doesn't feature any Lantern Corps besides the Green Lanterns.
• Official Couple: After Deraegis is brought to justice, Laethwen becomes Atom's queen.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Her comics counterpart was killed when Ray Palmer accidentally demolished her city by returning to normal size.
• Standard Hero Reward: To reward the heroic efforts of Batman, Atom (Ryan Choi), and Aquaman, Laethwen rewards them with medals for bringing Deraegis to justice.
• This Is Unforgivable!: Laethwen is just as against Deraegis wanting to be the leader of Morlaidh as Batman, Aquaman, and Atom are.

Proto

Proto

Voiced by: Adam West ^{Foreign VAs}Marc Alfos (FR)

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.

---

• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: "War on Evil" Mode, he's armed to the teeth.
• Gentle Giant: He's huge yet very friendly.
• Robot Buddy

Red Hood

Red Hood

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett ^{Foreign VAs}Xavier Fagnon (FR)

On an alternate Earth, one man tried fighting against the Injustice Syndicate, led by the brutal Owlman. For his troubles, this man was tossed into a vat of chemicals at the ACE Chemicals plant, which turned his skin white and his hair green (... hold on a second, that sounds familiar...)

However, rather than go criminally insane from the trauma, the Red Hood rallied, and continued to fight the Injustice Syndicate in any way he could, his desperation eventually motivating him to seek out allies from another universe.

---

• Composite Character: Of the original Red Hood (who in some continuities is the Joker before he became the Joker) and the Jokester (the Joker's heroic Earth-3 counterpart).
• Cool Helmet: He wears a red dome-shaped helmet that manages to completely obscure his face without affecting his vision.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He managed to build the Phase Oscillator, a device that allowed interdimensional travel.
• Good Counterpart: For the Joker. The chemical bath that drove his counterpart insane didn't work on the Red Hood, though Silver Cyclone describes his psyche as still being "bent" if not broken.
• Rage Against the Reflection: After being disfigured by the chemical dip, Red Hood spends some time staring into a mirror and begins to chuckle ominously before regaining his composure and throwing his chair through the mirror, symbolically stating he wouldn't let his predicament stop him from being a hero.
• Sharp-Dressed Man: He goes into battle in a tuxedo.
• The Unreveal: His face is never fully shown, but there are a few glimpses that show he is still a dead ringer for the Joker.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Silver Cyclone’s bomb would have eradicated life with organic tissue. His solution? Send it to a parallel Earth inhabited by zombies that can’t be killed by it.

Robins of the Future

Robin II, III, IV, V and ???

A collection of Robins from Batman's future, gathered by the Phantom Stranger to assist when the World's Greatest Detective is fatally injured. Includes Jason Todd, Carrie Kelley, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne.

Only appeared in the comics.

---

• Decomposite Character:
  • As mentioned in his own sheet, Dick Grayson in the show takes on some of Jason Todd's traits. In "Batman Dies At Dawn!", Dick acts more like his comic counterpart, while Jason is the hot-blooded one.
  • Meanwhile, Damian has a version of himself appear in the show, who's a mix of several different Bat-Kids. Here, he's straight-up comic Damian.
• The Glomp: Stephanie, to Batman, who's utterly perplexed since he hasn't met her yet.
• Jerkass: Damian. Especially towards Jason Todd, but also to everyone.
• Never Say "Die": Damian tells Jason that he knows what happens to the guy in his future, and if Jason doesn't do as he says, he'll make it come a lot sooner, without spelling out what that is.
• Tell Me How You Fight: When Jason, Carrie and Damian fight the League of Shadows, Dick's narration focuses on each of their fighting styles.
• Two Girls to a Team: Stephanie and Carrie are the only girls on the team.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

Voiced by: Ian Buchanan ^{Foreign VAs}Jean-Claude Donda (FR)

The greatest detective of all time, together with his partner Dr. John Watson, they solve cases—one example being a supernatural one caused by Gentleman Jim Craddock (who becomes Gentleman Ghost later).

• Adaptational Jerkass: Moreso than most versions of the character, this Holmes is openly mean towards Watson rather than just condescending, and he even mocks him for being sceptical of the episode's supernatural happenings, something that the original Holmes would commend.
• Badass Longcoat: OK, so it's technically an Inverness coat.
• Badass Boast: "You'll find my reflexes are as sharp as my mind. And my blade even sharper!"
• Cane Sword: He keeps a cane that carries a sword in it.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Holmes is snider than most versions of his character. However, he defends Jason Blood from a Torches and Pitchforks mob and works well with Batman despite being a bit flustered by Batman showing him up a couple of times.
• Public Domain Character: Although his appearance in the show hearkens to Holmes' various appearances in the comics.
• Sherlock Scan: He pulls one off on Batman himself after he's been plopped out of his time period, accurately assessing that he's on the side of good in spite of his bat-themed appearance. Although you have to wonder how much sense "strong jaw suggests doctor's son" makes.

Space Ghost

Space Ghost (Thaddeus Bach)

Voiced by: Gary Owens ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Murzeau (FR)

A superhero who operates in space and has his own collection of gadgets. Unlike all the other heroes, Space Ghost's appearance is an Intercontinuity Crossover (and with the original 1960s/1980s version, as opposed to the 1990s talk show host version).

Speedy

Speedy (Roy Harper)

Voiced by: Jason Marsden ^{Foreign VAs}Alexis Tomassian [1st voice], Hervé Rey [2nd voice] (FR)

Speedy is Green Arrow's archer sidekick — his long-suffering sidekick, even, as we see in a Flashback Green Arrow has no compunction against sending Speedy into a swamp full of gators to retrieve the former's bow. Speedy is also friends with Aqualad and Robin, and the three bond over chafing that their mentors still insist on treating them as kid sidekicks rather than partners.

---

• Badass Adorable: In flashbacks to his younger days.
• 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.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Speedy still uses interjections like "Jeepers!"
• Only Sane Man: Of the proto-Teen Titans trio, he's the only one not picking a fight with everyone else.
• Palette Swap: You could practically call him Red Arrow.
• Sidekick
• Taught by Television: He's able to figure out one of Ra's Al Ghul's weapons thanks to all the video games he plays.

Adam Strange

Adam Strange

Voiced by: Michael T. Weiss ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Wermuth (FR)

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.

Stargirl

Stargirl

Voiced by: Hope Levy ^{Foreign VAs}Olivia Luccioni (FR)

---

• Clothes Make the Superman: Or in this case her staff, which is the source of her powers.
• Deadpan Snarker: Shows shades of this during her first meeting with Blue Beetle in "Cry Freedom Fighters".
• Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: After she insults Mantis and lets her confidence to defeat him by herself get the better of her.
• I Shall Taunt You: Does this to Mantis before quickly realizing her mistake when she sees him run through a fence towards her.
• Inconvenient Summons: Has this moment when Blue Beetle arrives to assist her.
• Meaningful Name: They don't call her Stargirl for nothing after all.
• Only a Flesh Wound: Before Blue Beetle arrived, Stargirl was on her own fighting Mantis and at one point Mantis is heard cracking some bones in her body.
• Put on a Bus: "Cry Freedom Fighters" is her only appearance and she is nowhere to be seen in the season 3 finale episode "Mitefall!"
• Sarcasm Mode: Even in combat.

Krypto the Superdog

Krypto the Superdog

Superman's pet dog.

---

• Canine Companion
• Evil-Detecting Dog: Immediately noticed when Superman has gone crazy due to the effects of Red Kryptonite.
• Krypto Can Breathe in Space: Was thrown into space at least twice and came back like it was nothing.
• Lightning Bruiser: Noticeably quicker than his owner.

Superman

Superman (Clark Kent)

Voiced by: Roger Rose ^{Foreign VAs}Emmanuel Jacomy (FR)

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, he turns into a real di... ferrent person.

---

• Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed. In the comics, Supes can give Wonder Woman a run for her money and can continue fighting even after having his blood turned into Kryptonite. This version gets completely trounced by Cheetah thanks to a magical amulet and Kryptonite nail polish. However, when he’s exposed to Red Kryptonite, he takes over Metropolis effortlessly.
• Ascended Meme: His entire episode is devoted to tributing the Superdickery. Many of his acts of douchery are directly lifted from the site's collection of questionable comic covers.
• Badass Boast: See Lightning Bruiser and Kneel Before Zod.
• Beware the Superman: Although it's mostly played for laughs, he manages to effortlessly overthrow Metropolis mere days after the Red Kryptonite takes hold and causes massive damage to the city before eventually getting a hold of himself.
• The Cape
• Evil Is Petty: In one of the most darkly hilarious scenes of his episode, Superman casually walks up to the Bottle City of Kandor and rattles it while shouting "EARTHQUAKE!" for no reason whatsoever. The sounds of faint screaming and crumbling architecture from the miniaturised city can be heard as he walks away.
• Eyes Always Shut: The eviler he gets, the more he squints. This references the classic comic imagery of the masculine, permanently squinted Superman, but it also gives him a menacing, Black Eyes of Evil quality.
• Flying Brick: The original and the best.
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: He appears at the beginning of "Sidekicks, Assemble!", but only from behind.
• Kneel Before Zod: Ironic, huh?
  "Kneel before KING SUPERMAN!"
• Let's You and Him Fight: His Red Kryptonite exposure affecting his personality facilitates the requisite superhero scuffle between himself and a heavily-armoured Batman a la The Dark Knight Returns.
• Lightning Bruiser
  Superman: (instantly appearing behind a sent-flying Batman) I'm faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive (dives onto the ground), (rising from the ground) able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
• Took a Level in Jerkass: The plot of his episode. He gets better.

Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam

Voiced by: Peter Renaday ^{Foreign VAs}Patrick Préjean (FR)

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
• Disney Death
• Eagleland: Type 1.

Vigilante

Vigilante

Voiced by: John DiMaggio ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

---

• Big Damn Heroes: Had it not been for Vigilante's quick thinking when he saw the skinny mobster on the roof about to pull the trigger on his rifle, Batman would have been dead.
• Heroic Bystander: After Batman politely reminds Vigilante he appreciates the cowboy hero wanting to give him a hand with defending Gotham, Vigilante says "I can respect that. Man's gotta do what's a man gotta do." before grabbing his guitar to provide some background music for Batman's showdown against a trio of mobsters.
• Instrument of Murder: His guitar has a rifle concealed inside it.
• The Unmasking: The first and only time his red bandana is pulled down from over his mouth is during the song "Grey and Blue".
• Trademark Clothing: His dark blue shirt, white cowboy hat, red bandana, beige jeans, and boots.

Vixen

Vixen / Mari McCabe

Voiced by: Cree Summer ^{Foreign VAs}Kelvine Dumour (FR)

A superheroine with an animal totem that lets her have the power of any animal she can think of.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Tends to refer to B'Wanna Beast as "Bonnie".
• Animalistic Abilities: Her powers, though she can occasionally get distracted by which animal she'll be using, since unless it's a real emergency she prefers to stick to one a day.
• Battle Couple: Fights crime alongside B'Wanna Beast.
• Combat Stilettos

Dr. Watson

Dr. John Watson

Voiced by: Jim Piddock ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Murzeau (FR)

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: Watson has long been in the public domain.
• The Watson: Obviously.

Damian Wayne

Damian Wayne

Voiced by: Patrick Cavanaugh (teenager), Diedrich Bader (adult) ^{Foreign VAs}Paolo Domingo (FR)

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 Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, fighting Frank Miller's mutant gang. Has a son of his own, who looks a whole lot like Carrie Kelley and becomes Robin as well.

---

• Adaptational Heroism: Most, meaning all but this incarnation, depictions of Damian portray him as a moody, violent child raised by the League of Assassins, as his mother was Talia al Ghul. Here, Damian is not only the child of a married Batman and Catwoman, he's reluctant to follow his father's footsteps but otherwise shares his desire to help others.
• Alternate Universe: He lives in one.
• Composite Character: Of just about every known or potential offspring of Bruce Wayne:
  • Has the name and general appearance of Damian Wayne, the most recent Robin, Batman's Modern Age son with Talia al Ghul.
  • Has the parentage and motivation of Helena Wayne, the Huntress, Earth-2's Batman's Bronze Age daughter with Catwoman.
  • Has the basic conceit of Bruce Wayne, Jr., "Robin II," the Silver Age imaginary son of Batman and Batwoman Kathy Kane that Alfred wrote stories about.
  • Has (briefly) the snappy Seventies wardrobe of Batman, Jr.
• Earn Your Happy Ending
• It's All My Fault: Blames himself for his parents' death.
• Legacy Character: Becomes Robin and eventually Batman.
• Parent-Child Team: Upon becoming Batman, he and his son as Robin fight crime together.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's the legitimate son of Batman through Catwoman.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: The above means he is not related to the Al Ghul family in any way.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman (Diana Prince)

Voiced by: Vicki Lewis ^{Foreign VAs}Delphine Braillon (FR)

The princess of Themyscira, leaving her female-only home to help protect the world.

• Author Appeal: Appears in the opening of "Chill of the Night!", written by Paul Dini, who is very fond of the character.

Ambush Bug

Ambush Bug (Irwin Schwab)

Voiced by: Henry Winkler ^{Foreign VAs}Emmanuel Garijo (FR)

A Cloudcuckoolander with the ability to Teleport Spam and 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.
• The Knights Who Say "Squee!"
• Last Episode, New Character: He tries to make sure the series at least ends with some dignity if he can't save the show for another season.
• Meta Guy
• Psychopomp: Pretty much, as it turns out. Sorry, Batman.
• Rage Against the Author
• Unexpected Character: As addressed in universe.
  Bat-Mite: Ambush Bug? You're an obscure character even for this show.

AQUAMAN's youthful and grouchy son, who lacks his father's jubilant nature

---

• Giver of Lame Names: The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, as it turns out.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: A preteen he may be, but he's as capable of throwing around the Penguin's goons as his dad.
• Spared by the Adaptation: His comic counterpart died as a baby thanks to Black Manta.

Bat-Mite

Bat-Mite

Voiced by: Paul Reubens ^{Foreign VAs}Jérôme Pauwels (FR)

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: He's a massive Batman fan and delights in having adventures with him.
• The Bad Guy Wins: He ultimately succeeds in his goal of ruining The Brave and the Bold enough to get it cancelled and replaced with a grittier Bat-Family animated series, but in doing so he accidentally erases himself.
• Cessation of Existence: Slowly fades into a white void after successfully cancelling the show.
• 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, and in Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, his efforts end Superman's Silver Age incarnation.
• Face–Heel Turn: In a manner of speaking, while not exactly evil, "Mitefall!" sees him try to get the show cancelled. He ends up succeeding, but in turn erases himself, with a darkly Meaningful Echo of the line he used for all his episodes, "That's all folks."
• Fourth-Wall Observer: He knows that Batman's fictional, and about all his previous incarnations. He can also talk directly to the viewers as well as interact with the universe of the show.
• Good Angel, Bad Angel: The angel and devil sides of Bat-Mite when faced with whether or not he could use his superpowers to help Batman in "Emperor Joker!":
  Angel Bat-Mite: No powers, Bat-Mite. You promised.
  Devil Bat-Mite: Batman said you can't use your powers, but he didn't say you shouldn't give them to him!
  Angel Bat-Mite: [shrugs his shoulders, to Bat-Mite] He's got a point. [both sides vanish]
• Great Gazoo: Fulfils the exact same role in the show as the Trope Namer.
• Heart Beats out of Chest: When he sees Harley Quinn in "Emperor Joker!"
• Humanoid Abomination: He looks like a small child, but he's actually an entity from the 5th Dimension, capable of bending reality to his whim.
• Hypocritical Humor: In "Legends of the Dark Mite!", Bat-Mite deems an Adam West-esque Batsuit as "too campy".
• Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: As with all nigh-omnipotent fifth dimensional mites in the DC Multiverse, his only goal in life is to harass his chosen superhero idol.
• Karmic Death: In "Mitefall!", 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.
• Love at First Sight: His heart beats from his chest the moment he sets eyes on Harley Quinn in "Emperor Joker!"
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "Emperor Joker!", he accidentally gives all his powers to the Joker when he should be helping Batman out in the fight, and from that time on, everything is going to hell for it.
  • He outdoes himself in "Mitefall!" when his selfish quest to get the show cancelled in the real world results in the entire Brave and the Bold universe ending.
• Puff of Logic: In "Mitefall!".
• Reality Warper: He can change whatever he wishes.
• Single-Target Fandom: Bat-Mite is only interested in Batman. He doesn't care nearly as much for the associated characters such as Batgirl, as shown by his deflated reaction to her getting a new Cartoon Network show.
• Sociopathic Hero: He slyly admits with some glee that he voted for Jason Todd's death in the comics, in front of Batman no less. But since Jason Todd is only shown to exist in the show's questionably canon tie-in comics (and Batman isn't fourth wall aware), Batman doesn't register the implication.
• Take That, Audience!: The show revamps him into an unflattering, self-aware caricature of various quarters of the Batman fandom, specifically the majority of modern fans who clamour for darker, more realistically grounded interpretations of the character. This is, of course, ironic coming from a ridiculous fifth-dimensional relic from the Silver Age who embodies everything he claims to dislike about the character's spotted history.
• The Unpronounceable: Bat-Mite's real name is Enyaw Ecurb (Bruce Wayne spelt backwards).
• Wild Card: His status as a "Guest Hero" is rather tenuous, to say the least.

The Creature Commandos

The Creature Commandos (Dr. Myrra Rhodes, Warren Griffith, Vincent Velcro, Pvt. Elliott "Lucky" Taylor, and Lt. Matthew Shrieve

Voiced by: Cathy Cavadini (Dr. Myrra Rhodes), Dee Bradley Baker (Warren Griffith, Vincent Velcro, and Pvt. Elliott "Lucky" Taylor) and Marc Worden (Lt. Matthew Shrieve) ^{Foreign VAs}Céline Melloul [Rhodes], Philippe Peythieu [Velcro], Thierry Murzeau [Taylor], Thierry Wermuth [Shrieve] (FR)

First appearing in the episode "Four Star Spectacular!", the Creature Commandos are a group of soldiers that crash landed on an island inhabited by dinosaurs (and the Ultra Humanite) and were outnumbered until Batman unexpectedly showed up to assist the Creature Commandos.

---

Tropes relating to the entire group as a whole:

• Adaptational Early Appearance: Rhodes had yet to appear in Weird War Tales by the time of the story adapted for the show.
• Alternate Company Equivalent: To Marvel's Howling Commandos.
  • In Name Only, though. While both are set in the era of WWII, the Howling Commandos have more in common with the Easy Company of Sgt. Rock.
• Classical Movie Vampire: Vincent Velcro
• Frankenstein's Monster: Pvt. Elliott "Lucky" Taylor
• Friend to All Living Things: Myrra Rhodes isn't afraid to speak her mind and tell Shrieve how he should respect the privacy of the dinosaurs.
• Grew a Spine: Vincent Velcro, as well as Myrra Rhodes as the team leaves the island in a rowboat.
• Only Sane Man: Vincent Velcro as well as Warren Griffith, Pvt. Elliott "Lucky" Taylor, and Myrra Rhodes (sane woman in her case) who stand up to their team leader.
• Smurfette Principle: Myrra Rhodes currently remains to be the only female member of the Creature Commandos team.
• Snake People: Myrra Rhodes
• The Voiceless: Warren Griffith and Pvt. Elliott "Lucky" Taylor are the only two Creature Commandos team members to not have any lines of dialogue apart from grunting noises the two make.
• Wolf Man: Warren Griffith

The Mystery Inc. Gang

Voiced by: Frank Welker (Scooby, Fred), Matthew Lillard (Shaggy), Grey DeLisle (Daphne), Mindy Cohn (Velma in "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!"), and Kate Micucci (Velma in Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold) ^{Foreign VAs}Éric Missoffe [Scooby, Shaggy], Mathias Kozlowski [Fred], Céline Melloul [Daphne], Caroline Pascal [Velma] (FR)

The gang from Scooby-Doo, who usually solves various mysteries they stumbled to. They appear in a crossover in one episode, and later crossed over with the show again in Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

For more information on them, see here.

---

• Took a Level in Badass: Thanks to Bat-Mite, Scooby and Shaggy start beating up Joker and the Penguin with Batman and Robin.
• Trademark Favorite Food: The Scooby Snacks as usual, which was used by the Joker against them.

Jeffrey Ross

Jeffrey "The Roastmaster" Ross

Voiced by: Jeffrey Ross ^{Foreign VAs}Jean-Claude Donda (FR)

One of two special guest stars in The Brave and the Bold. He made an appearance in the teaser part of "Crisis 22,300 Miles Above Earth!" helping rescue Batman from his local rogue list of villains.

---

• As Himself: Jeff "The Roastmaster" Ross as himself.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Jeff Ross delivers a short one to Joker before finishing him off, just not verbally.
• Take That!: In-Universe example and forced out of his own free will. Jeff Ross gives off some jokes from anything involving Robin to Batman's utility belt.
• The Roast: Gets involved in a villainous one the Joker puts together while Batman roasts over a spit. Once Batman finds out how Jeff got there, he tells Jeff to "go right ahead." (Of course, while Ross distracts the Rogues, he can work on getting out of the spit's restraints.)
• Took a Level in Badass: Seems to be the norm for anyone who's in The Brave and the Bold. Especially for Jeff Ross.

The Phantom Stranger

The Phantom Stranger

Voiced by: Kevin Conroy ^{Foreign VAs}Xavier Fagnon (FR)

A mystery to all, the Phantom Stranger walks the world alone, occasionally appearing to offer advice and nudge people in the right directions.

---

• Foil: Serves as the counterpoint to the Spectre, trying to get Batman focused on justice, rather than vengeance.
• Inksuit Actor: As Phantom Stranger is the more human looking of the two despite being a spirit that only shows up when necessary, he bears a bit of a resemblance to his voice actor Kevin Conroy.
• Time Travel: Is capable of moving through time, and can bring people back or forth with him. He uses it to let Batman meet his mom and dad, and in "Batman Dies at Dawn", uses it to summon all the Robins.

The Spectre

The Spectre

Voiced by: Mark Hamill ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

The personification of vengeance, obsessed with punishing evil-doers in disproportionate fashion. Makes a bet with the Phantom Stranger on whether Batman would seek justice or vengeance on Joe Chill.

---

• Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Well, Anti-Hero Does The Dirty Work. Batman won't enforce Death by Secret Identity because he doesn't kill, so the Spectre protects Bruce Wayne's secret by killing Joe Chill before he could properly tell anyone.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He's a personification of vengeance, so naturally he's perfectly fine with the brutal ways he dispatches the wicked and views Batman becoming an agent of vengeance as a good thing.
• The Corrupter: He seeks to turn Batman into someone much like himself, obsessed with vengeance over justice.
• Creepy Monotone: Oh, yes. The Spectre speaks in a cold monotone.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Zigzagged. Despite his sepulchral voice, the Spectre isn't actually evil.
• He Who Fights Monsters: The Phantom Stranger calls him on being no better than those he seeks to punish.
• In the Hood: His features are hidden by a dark green hood.
• Knight of Cerebus: The Spectre only appears in one full episode, and the stinger for another, but he's one of the darkest presences in the show.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: His M.O. Professor Milo experiments on rats, so the Spectre gets creative with his punishment.
• Pet the Dog: The Spectre saves a group of rats from being crushed by a falling pillar, since they're innocent.
• Slasher Smile: He looks ecstatic at the possibility of Batman becoming consumed by vengeance.

Madame Xanadu

Madame Xanadu

A powerful sorceress, who has a rivalry with the Phantom Stranger. Appears in the tie-in comic story "Batman Dies At Dawn!"

---

• Adaptational Badass: Comics Xan is a powerful magic user, but she's nowhere near the Phantom Stranger's league. The version of her that appears in "Batman Dies At Dawn!" is capable of matching him.
• Distaff Counterpart: Serves as one to the Phantom Stranger.
• Time Travel: Just as the Phantom Stranger could summon the various Robins, Madame Xanadu could have summoned the various Batgirls from history.

The Haunted Tank

The Haunted Tank (J.E.B. Stuart)

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker ^{Foreign VAs}Thierry Murzeau (FR)

A ghostly apparition of a soldier driving a tank, Jeb Stuart first appeared in the teaser for the episode "Menace of The Madniks!", driving the self titled Haunted Tank and giving chase to Ma Murder, a female crime boss who filled Batman's Batmobile with wet cement but not before the caped crusader himself got away from the wet cement.

---

• Composite Character: J.E.B. Stuart takes the role of driving and firing the tank himself rather than being a Spirit Advisor to a tank crew.
• Curbstomp Battle: Manages to take out everyone but Ma Murder. That is until him and Batman go after her to foil her getaway attempt.
• It's the Only Way:
  Jeb Stuart: Ma'am, this known aggression has forced me to do you bodily harm.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: His character design is similar to that of the late Dallas McKennon.
• Shout-Out: He jumps a bridge while playing Dixie on a horn.
