It would be a how that delighted in crazy plots, but a serious Batman, with lethal villains but still the stories would be peppered with oodles of fun. This would be a show that celebrated the goofy Silver Age era of comic books, without ever ridiculing it.

When it was mentioned that Tucker had been behind the Sprang-evoking segment of the Legends Of The Dark Knight episode of Batman: TAS, it all fell into place. It was clear from the production designs and the pop jazz soundtrack that they were planning to give us an inspired amalgamation of the Dick Sprang era Batman from the 1950s, and the Adam West Batman of the 1960s (which, let’s face it, was initially a literal translation of the comics of the recent past). It was then that I knew that this was the great Batman show that I had always wanted to see, but had never known it. And I was instantly sold on Bader as Batman.Īnd then, what I really wanted to see: footage from the show. “ I’m Batman,” Bader said, almost as deep and gravely as Kevin Conroy. Aiming for younger viewers was one thing, but Oswald as Batman? Seriously? And then Andrea asked him to do The Voice. When the panel came onto the stage, I also saw… Diedrich Bader? The goofy Oswald guy from The Drew Carey Show? Oh, man, they’ve really gone off the deep end. What the heck, right? Producer James Tucker and voice director Andrea Romano would be there, and I had admired what hey had done for previous DC Universe shows. It wouldn’t be my type of thing, perhaps, but I wasn’t really craving another Bat-show anyhow.Īnd then, in one of many highlights of attending Comic-Con 2008, I went to the Batman – The Brave And The Bold panel. If Warner wanted a Super Friends-like show for 21st Century kids, there was nothing wrong with that. And then I saw the designs- blocky, kid-friendly stuff that had many of us fearing this would be overly kid-friendly and dopey.

It would be a team-up show, however, which sounded interesting enough. With so many episodes of various Batman shows out there already, what more could possibly be said?Īnd then Warner announced yet another new Batman show, and many sighs were heard. Once that show ended, though, I think a lot of us figured that that would be it for a while, and I think that most of us were okay with that. Not everyone was thrilled with The Batman, but even that show had a five-year run and did get better with each season. Everyone loves Batman: The Animated Series, which begat Batman Beyond and the revered Justice League programs. For almost twenty years, we have had a nearly continuous line of cartoon shows featuring The Dark Knight.

This satirical work turns the usual image of the hero upside down.Warner Bros. Yellow Book takes the tropes of a fantasy adventure and reimagines them, employing a humorous approach and a unique artistic style.

Must the Braves defeat the Demon King? Whose version of justice are they fighting for? Is the Demon King irredeemably evil? Was he born this way, or did something happen to him? What if both the Braves and the Demon King became who they are the same we ordinary folk do – by making the choices the world presents to us and accepting the consequences. But does the world have to be like this? Or is it just the way it happens to be? The role of the villagers is to accept that protection, and the demons are there, naturally, to be destroyed. Kings employ warriors – the Braves – and equip them with the resources they need to fight the demons and protect the villagers. It is a world of heroes, demons, villagers and kings. In this new and deeply satirical comic book, Yellow Book offers his 300,000 fans a comic and chaotic tale, featuring the typical fantasy adventure characters of heroes, monsters and villagers – but with the traditional image of the brave heroes turned upside down.
