History EnsembleDarkhorse / BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

* Red Hood, the GoodCounterpart of the Joker, quickly acquitted himself as a badass. His outfit was classy, his voice acting was fantastic, and he got some incredibly cool lines. His backstory helps - on Earth-3, he was a vigilante who battled Owlman, which culminated in Owlman ''throwing'' him into the infamous vat of chemicals. Unlike the Joker, though, he was left "[[IronWoobie bent, but not broken,]]" and faced down entire ''teams'' of villains with nothing but a few throwing knives. He also destroyed Silver Cyclone, which would prove a fine moment for people who think of his own counterpart as {{Wangst}}y.

* On the villains side we have [[EmotionEater Psycho Pirate]]. While he only appeared in "Inside the Outsiders!" he left a truly horrifying impression. Feeding off the anger and sorrow of The Outsiders to fuel himself until they’re used up and in permanent states of shock. Armin Shimmerman’s via the SoftSpokenSadist made him probably the most memorable villain in the show. Once relatively obscure, now the stuff of everyone’s nightmares.

* Blue Beetle II only has a couple of appearances and is vastly eclipsed in prominence by his successor, but his NiceGuy attitude and the way his array gadgets and wealth give him some CommonalityConnection moments with Batman and his comics-faithful OddFriendship with Booster Gold make both of his appearances powerful ones.

* MasterOfIllusion Phantom Lady, the speedster The Ray, and the aptly named Human Bomb are {{Satellite Character}}s to OneShotCharacter Uncle Sam, but make a decent impression even without the added bonus for fans of their later appearance in ''WesternAnimation/FreedomFightersTheRay''.

** And now he's in ''[[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham]]''.

* The Music Meister. That fact that he's voiced —and sung— by Neil Patrick Harris probably has something to do with it. After the episode was out there was tons of fanart, and demands that he be incorporated into the DCU within minutes. The demand for the soundtrack was so high that they announced plans to release a soundtrack about two or three days after the episode leaked onto the Internet, and said that if the show had a third season he would be back. (Unfortunately, he wasn't.)

* That's not to discount ComicBook/BlueBeetle III: He was also quite a Darkhorse. One of the reasons for this is that many fans loved watching Batman mentor a young superhero as opposed to another un-powered vigilante. His love of superheroes and the fact that he's a rookie standing among people much more experiencd than him is pretty relatable as well. As a side note, this series is also responsible for turning a lot of people on to Jaime's comics.

* Gentleman Ghost. At the time, almost completely unknown, but his excellent design rocketed him to popularity. Coincidentally, during the show's run he had a figure in DC's comic series that was nigh-impossible to find due to fan demand.

* Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash. It helps that this was the first time he was he properly featured in any adaptation beyond a cameo. In fact he appeared more than Barry Allen did!

** And an appearance in the Series/{{Arrowverse}} during a crossover between ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and ''Series/{{Supergirl}}''.

** And a ShoutOut in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight''

* Phantom Stranger and Spectre, for being voiced by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, completely in-character, and pivotal in "Chill of the Night!"

* Aquaman, made more awesome, given that DC Comics originally intended Blue Beetle III to be the breakout guest-star of the series. By ratcheting up his Superfriends uselessness into a hammy parody of the character, AQUAMAN's become a hilarious form of Mythology Gag. And considering that he turns out quite competent, he sort of delves into unexpected Rule of Funny-endorsed awesomeness.

* Plastic Man. Never a more fitting hero for this sort of series, yet the series keeps him just as loveable.
