• As to the batmans cave comment, I think the ladies just want to bask in the sunlight cos everyone knows the sun shines out of the dark knights backside :) some people need to take a chill pill, if you believe this incarnation of batman will forever tarnish your perception of him then why do you watch it? I like the darker versions of Bats too, but I can still appreciate the artistic license used to create this. Just accept it for what it is, a standalone series.

• Wow. I can't believe how much innuendo was packed into this.

• That was fucking awesome...Definitely need that one on my i-pod...if only to mess with the boys I hang out with.

• Katie, the costumes, much like the show itself, are retro. That's actually the original costume for Catwoman. If you take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catwoman The pic at the top is essentially all of her costumes throughout the ages. I believe it's also the original costume for Huntress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntress_%28comics%29 and Black Canary, although Canary's costume is pretty much always the same so I'm not bothering with a wikilink.

• So that was funny. But on a related note, what the HECK is up with the costumes?? Catwoman looks like a slutty druid.

• That... was... FUCK-tarded. Gimmie my Batman: TAS.

• It wasn't already ruined with the undoing of the wedding?

• Believe it or not, the show answered that question clearly in an episode, Legends of the Bat-Mite!, a great episode by the way. Bat-Mite: "Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots then the tortured avenger, crying out for mommy and daddy." Plus, you have to see episodes like Chill of the Night!, Siege of Starro!, The Super-Batman of Planet X!, Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!, Revenge of the Reach!, Fall of the Blue Beetle!, Night of the Huntress!, The Power of Shazam!, The Eyes of Despero!, and a few others to see the show at it's best, and it's definitely on par with some of the best episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond.

• Apparently I'm as quick on the draw as some superheroes...cause I beat you to it.

• I still dont understand the appeal of this show. How people put this on the same level as Batman: TAS or Batman Beyond is well...beyond me. I guess I just have no appreciation for all this Silver Age-esque nonsense.

• I could see Gail giggling while writing this. Musicals are imfamous for sexual innuendo, and so are DCAU cartoons. In the episode of JLU, Huntress and the Question are on a 'date' where they are beating up goons, and stealing info; Huntress demands something more out of the situation to which the Question says "Dinner?" and she replies "That's a start" and proceeds to slip the disk into the crotch of her costume (Implying abit more eating out than the Question suggested.). My admiration for this cartoon has just gone up a few notches.

• In Aquaman's defense, the water is pretty damn cold...

• How could you mention "Chill Of The Night" and not mention that ADAM WEST and Julie Newmar play Thomas and Martha Wayne?

• *laughing at all the "subtle" sexual indoendos* XD omg, how did this make it past the censors!? All hail Gail Simone, Queen of Girl Geekdom!

• wow, that was all kinds of awesome. I'm so happy I started watching this a few weeks ago. I just had to get over my "Batman must be dark and gritty" bias

• Well if Australia aired it, we should be in the green; their censors are even stricter than ours for some reason.

• lol loved the bit about huntress wanting to see batmans special cave. aka admiting she wants to sleep with batman. plus loved black canarys look when huntress made the bit about green arrow not able to shoot straight. the best part the birds saying aquaman's little fish is not so huge. and gail no doubt was cackling with laughter writting just the song.

• ahh, The Brave and The Bold. a time when women were "dames", and "lounging with the boys" won't make anyone scream "PEDO!!" great share, rob!

• granted, katy perry wouldn't look HALF as hot in either one of the girls' costume, and if he tried to sing the song in the way catwoman had done it, i would most likely threw up in my mouth a little.

• oh trust me, scoot, when it comes to ComixNix, he would find a way.

• Birds of Prey uses Sing Goons are stunned Birds of Prey uses Sexy Dance It's Super Effective!! Goons fainted

• Living in Australia this episode aired last Saturday, it is pretty off the wall. Cracked up at the song.

• Sweet jumpin' Jesus in a basket of chicken!

• Gail Simone didn't write the lyrics to the song. They were written by Micheal Jelenic & James Tucker. The entire episode is available for download over on 4chans /rs/ board. It's called the mask of matches malone.

• Damn! And people thought that Katy Perry on Sesame Street was racy!

• Brave and the Bold is SUPPOSED to be funny. IT's all about classic 60's Batman cheesiness. Turn off the Dark is not. Bono wants it to be serious, at which I wretch. Spider-man isn't a property to be made into a comedy.

• I was thinking that too! We're on the same page, my friend.

• So Huntress wants to peg Batman. I wonder if her harness is compatible with Bat's Smoke Grenades?

• ...huh. That came out at least two months ago over here. How did we get that show first? Have you had the one with the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, and Booster Gold travelling back to see him and mucking up the timestream?

• HOLY FUCK THAT IS SO AWESOME I"M HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY TO TYPE THIS INSTEAD OF HITTING CAPS LOCK! Seriously Rob thank you. I've had The Brave and the Bold on my "get around to looking at it someday probably" list but you just made a convert out of me.

• I couldn't possibly love this show more.

• Why am I not watching this show??

• Judging from the 60s Batman, he either has the Bat-Shield or the Bat-Bazooka hidden back there.

• Uh...it just occurred to me. The only way this theme song could be any more awesome, is if the Green Lantern the Birds are singing about is Guy Gardner....anyway, this song gives the term "ringslinging" a whole new meaning!

• Also... this IS funny. Peter dancing wasn't.

• its Disneyland in there.

• To paraphrase something Rob brings up in the next article: So Katy Perry can't sing with Elmo in a fleshtone body suit, but scantily clad cartoon superheroines can belt out a cabaret number about Aquaman's dick? Not that I'm complaining--this was all manner of awesome.

• Nice tag you put with the Facebook Share option. For those who don't pick up on innuendo: "And it's all about fucking DC's superheroes."

• i came to the comments just to post the cave line. WTF.

• I really, really hope that when they mentioned the Blue Beetle, they weren't talking about Jaime... Scratch that; if they mentioned any Blue Beetle it'd be disturbing, 'cause the first two are dead, and Jaime's a kid.

• WHY has this show been cancelled??? But every time she gets an episode to write GAil just knocks it OUT OF THE PARK!

• I'm sure he has files on how to take out every superhero in this and every other earth up there

• Yes this actually fits into the show, not random dancing for no point what so ever other then to kick my soul in the balls

• Um, I don't think they were referring to Green Arrow being bi, or promiscuous, I think they were referring to him not being...straight. As in...his "shaft." He has a crooked penis.

• Astounding. Gail Simone and the BATB staff have succeeded in cramming more awesomeness into a three minute sequence than U2 could into the entirety of that bloated trainwreck of a Spidey musical. Surely the DCAU could find it in their hearts to produce an all-singing, all-dancing Birds of Prey special? Note: the Aquaman joke is pure, distilled joy. That is all.

• Five internet high fives for any kind fellow who transcribes the song for us poor poor speaker-less souls

• hehe

• So Batman has microfilm portraits lining his rectum?

• This isnt slipping in innuendo, it's drowning in it. I'm going to be shocked if this episode hits America unedited. To my knowledge this played in just Australia last week.

• I'm told it rival's even Optimus' cave.

• This is so awesome. More innuendo then all "DCAU" Shows put together. But why they have to go and diss Aquaman. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!

• So when Peter Parker dances it's stupid, but this musical number is okay?

• Once again, it's time to turn on the ComicsNix signal! Let's see how he fits this into his rather "original" Batman continuity.

• Outrageous! This scandalous tune is quite unfair! Things happen to a gentleman when he's in cold water... and I spend my entire life there!

• I am a Batman snob and did not like this show until my buddy made watch an episode. Batsie teamed up with Wild Cat to fight some ancient spirit things. Episode was awesome and i have been hooked ever since. For the haters i say watch the episode from season 2 "chill of the night". It revolves around who killed Bruce's parents and is sooo damn good. Kevin Conroy is Phantom Stranger, Mark Hamill is the Spectre, Richard Mull is a voice as well. In my opinion it's a tribute to Batman: TAS with how dark of an episode it is.

• Wow. That is amazingly entertaining!I love how the goons in white suits smirk at the "two fast" comment at 1:23.

• Is it really wrong that I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a birds of prey FFF this week, preferably where they seduce batman (or someone else, I don't care about that) by singing like that?

• Oh my.

• No mention on the Charlies Angels silhouette gag at the beginning?

• This aired over the weekend in Australia, and was SPECTACULAR.

• I can't believe how much some people think TBATB is meant to be serious and is a disgrace to the Batname. This was 100% spectacular!

• ...well, they <i>say</i> the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all. Sounds like it's still pretty cold for poor Aquaman, though.

• It hasn't yet, last week was art 2 of Starro, this week is the Flash episode. This is from an upcoming episode, at least here in the US, proving once again Rob can't not research his topics.

• It's even weirder if you remember that Catwoman was her mother, which means they're pretty much in a greek tragedy. However, this is the modern Huntress, even if she's got the butt-ugly original costume. :)

• LMFAO! Oh my god, that was great. Although knowing the Green Arrow character as I do I got more the impression it as alluding to his promiscuity rather than bisexuality. I have to say best thing yet since 'Music Meister' God I hope NPH comes back for another Music Meister episode.

• Well, the Flash joke's been around forever and was used a couple of times in Justice League, so it's not like that's uncharted territory. ("Fastest man alive!" "So that's why you can't get a date?") The Aquaman stuff, on the other hand....

• It's in the job description; the random song and dance number is a long standing tool against goon assault and guard distraction; Every hero knows that when their out manned and in a pinch, a snappy song and dance number will placate or dumbfound the easily amused minion or guard. Sex appeal gives you a +6 success rate but a +2 chance of sexual assault =( .

• When did this air? Last Fridays episode was the second part of the Starro episode.

• Easy, musicals do not equal awesome. If i wanted to see superheros singing and dancing, I'd join U2 and ruin spiderman.

• That was amazing; I think I've seriously misjudged this show. I am also glad to see the proud tradition of slipping sexual innuendo into childrens programming is being kept alive. Someone has to do it, ya know, for the kids sake.

• The thing that gets me is how awesome it is. I mean, to be that level good they had to take time out of their busy scheduals and practice both music and choreography. Just incase moments like this should arise.

• I have problems with the fact that in pre-crisis continuity, The Huntress is Batman's DAUGHTER, and she's coming on to him here....ewwww..... The song's outstanding, though

• It also implies that The Flash is a Premature Ejaculator and that Green Arrow is bisexual... and this is a children's cartoon??

• My mind was just overloaded with awesome

• HOLY TRIPLE ENTENDRE BATMAN!! ....wait did they just say they want to see his secret cave??? *shudders*
