The World's Finest reports that the next DC Comics animated series may be 'The Brave and the Bold'. The show would team Batman with a different DCU hero each week.

This seems a little strange to us, since 'The Batman' is kind of doing that already. However, the report indicates that this new series will have no ties to previous animated incarnations of the Dark Knight Detective. Reportedly, the show would start airing in the fall.

No word is given as to the source of the report.

We have to wonder if Warner should be worried about brand identity with Batman? This year there will be at least three distinct animated versions on DVD ('The Batman', 'The New Frontier' and 'Gotham Knight') and the live action version ('The Dark Knight'). With this rumored version and a possible new live-action version in the 'Justice League' movie, that would make five Bat-men outside the comics.

If this is for real, I hope it's closer to the Timmverse feel than "The Batman."

Yeah, Batman's getting a bit played out. Featuring him in the show pretty frequently would be cool, but him being a constant is just too much.

Better yet, stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just bring back JLU (and market it this time).

I'd rather they just ditched this angle and started doing a Long Halloween series.

The title sounds like a soap opera

The title sounds like a soap opera

Your thinking of The Bold and The Beautiful. A daytime soap opera, now being turned into a comic book.

Or you might be thinking of The Young and The Restless. Which is being adapted into a Wii game.

The Batman is canned, which I think lends some credence to this rumor.

The Batman got better in the later seasons, oh well.

Confirmed.

with a touch of comic relief

UH-OH - I dont like the sound of that. Batman does not mix well with comic relief imo.
