BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD THE VIDEO GAME launched just a few days ago, bringing an episodic, family friendly adventure based on the hit animated series to Wii and Nintendo DS.
Featuring the voice talents, action and dialogue from the cartoon, the game drops players into an all-out brawl, as Batman partners with Guy Gardner, Robin, Hawkman and Blue Beetle to take on some of the deadliest villains in the DCU. You can play solo as Batman or with a pal in two-player co-op mode.
First off, veteran Batman talents Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill will be reprising their roles as the voices of Batman and the Joker, respectively. The two vocal actors have definitely become synonomus with the characters over the years, thanks to their work on several Batman animated series and films, as well as their recent turns in the hit Rocksteady video game, "Batman: Arkham Asylum" along with its upcoming sequel, which will reportedly be the last time he voices the Clown Prince of Crime.
Joining Conroy and Hamill will be "Firefly"/"Serenity" alumni Adam Baldwin (providing the voice of Superman) and Gina Torres (as Wonder Woman), along with "Buffy " star James Marsters and "Battlestar Galactica" actress Michelle Forbes, who will be playing the respective vocal roles of Lex Luthor and Circe.
Here is a quote from Don Kramer regarding the changes to Wonder Woman. He will be handling art.Wonder Woman is THE female icon of comic books and probably the most recognizable female super hero in the world. When I was a kid, I was first introduced to her by watching the Super Friends cartoons and the Linda Carter/Wonder Woman show and loved it despite all the camp. Just seeing comic book heroes come to life was a real treat back then. I rediscovered her with the George Perez comics in the 80s. Over the years, her power level and costume has gone through many changes but her character has always remained true. I think her best years are still ahead of her. I feel fortunate to be working with such an iconic character on such a momentous occasion.
Starting in June, BATMAN BEYOND — a six-issue mini-series from writer Adam Beechen (who’s no stranger to animated characters, having worked on The Batman series a few years back) and artist Ryan Benjamin — will pit the future Dark Knight against his own past, as a dangerous force has begun to target Bruce Wayne’s old foes. Can Wayne’s past put Terry’s future in danger?
Not sure, gang. Let’s check in with Adam Beechen himself. Take it away, Adam:
“The dark future of the legendary animated series comes to the DCU in a six-issue miniseries, as Terry McGinniss, Bruce Wayne’s young successor as Batman, faces his deadliest foe yet — a mystery murderer from the Dark Knight’s past! Old faces return, new allies and enemies step into the light, and the partnership between Terry and Bruce — not to mention Terry and Bruce themselves — might not survive!”
