It's also the animation debut of the Outsiders (as a team, anyway Metamorpho had a supporting role on Justice League). The show is notable for having the first animated appearance of the Blue Beetle, specifically the third Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes (though Dan Garrett and Ted Kord also make posthumous appearances). Seriousness, but it also has a number of Wham Episodes: the show provides its own versions of The Rainbow Batman and Bat-Ape just as happily as it references The Killing Joke and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. The show is way over on the silly side of the Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. There's a Musical Episode starring Neil Patrick Harris, a crossover with Scooby-Doo which also animates an old MAD parody titled 'Bat Boy and Reubin' and Bat-Manga and stars 'Weird Al' Yankovic, and a Cold Open team up with Space Ghost. In general, it's not that far from the style of the '60s Batman show, but still maintaining much of the sense of awesomeness and badass that has defined Batman since the DC Animated Universe.

The massive number of obscure cameos and canon throwback jokes make the whole series into a big, campy collection of Continuity Porn. It's a light-hearted take on the DC Comics mythos, with a high gag-per-minute level, very little secret-identity drama, and mainly goofy Card Carrying Villains like Clock King and Gorilla Grodd. In order to showcase as many heroes and villains as possible, The Teaser is often a standalone mini-adventure in itself, giving every character a chance to shine.

The show's creators aim to spotlight every possible underrated aspect of the DC universe. With a primary focus on rarely used (but classic) characters such as Red Tornado, Detective Chimp, and even 'Mazing Man the show takes many of its plotline inspirations from old Silver Age stories. Taking its name from DC's traditional Team-Up Series, Batman: The Brave and the Bold has Batman partnering with a different superhero or superheroes every week. The second non- DCAU Animated Adaptation of Batman by Warner Bros., announced after The Batman ended.
