Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Video Review

[hassmann2000]

Looks fun. They need to bring it to PC, PS3 and 360 and a DL game though. No one plays the Wii. Though I guess it's aimed at dad and his kids.

[bulby1994]

BATMAN DOES NOT EAT NACHOS!!!

[MrCalzilla]

The Brave and the Bold is a very dissapointing continuation of batman cartoons. It will never be as good as The Batman (I never watched TAS).

[1337sir]

@MrCalzilla You should watch TAS, it's the best.

1st- TAS

2nd- The Batman

-50- Batman the brave and the fail- i mean bold.

[Donkey0Madness]

IGN suck

[jan279]

This guy's probably not reading comics at all...I mean, he just called Guy Gardner a back-up dancer for Lady Gaga! LMAO

[limelungs242]

u gotta admit the cut scenes are cool!

[gepugg9]

This Being Campy?! From the guy who paints his nails D:

[1234Darkflames2]

yua... ima stick to batman arkham city...

[MrKay0]

I'll just stick to CartoonNetwork...

[Mrxboxmatty]

I'm Going to guess this guy's never read a dc comic

[Nekradude]

this game is so much better than arkham assylum!! the grafics! the gameplay! the story!!.................... lololol XD just kidding! XD

[101thedarkknight]

The best batman game is batman arkham asylum or soon to be batman arkham city

[supermancatcool]

A 6.5 for being too simple okay... you gave super meat boy A 9.0 for being to hard WTF which is ? What do you want simple or hard ? make up your minds >:(

[divinidadoscura]

@supermancatcool Lol dude they gave it a 6.5 for being simple and repetitive, super meat boy is different i wouldnt know how to explain, but lets say batman simplicity is not fun, but super meatboy simplicity is. i mean this game is only punch punch punch.

[Moosemaster329]

wats weird is that the catman looks like catman from fairly oddparents

[DCMarvelFanGuy]

@ManicRaider

Oh, believe me I know a lot of people who hold it in that regard.

[MrCalzilla]

@ManicRaider I watched the show. I hate it even more. Terrible voices, dumb plots, and completely for kids. However, I am very biased towards The Batman, so I won't like any Batman cartoon nearly as much unless it is totally outstanding, which Brave and the Bold absolutely isn't.

[TheMrSpartanking]

Arkham Asylum, this, game, This game can't even compare this.

[rorschach98]

I love this game and show so much. Love this as much as TAS and more. I think I am one of the BIGGEST and HUGEST fans of thee show and game ever!!!! Love it so much and I am amazed by it, Love it so much. I am a huge fan of this and its feeling of camp and golden and silver age time it is based in. I love it so much. HUGE fan

[whaowman]

I love 2D side-scrollers.

I'm so glad to see someone still making them. AWESOME!

[marvelfiend1990]

this show is so corny

[ChibbyTonx]

Batman vs Catman???!

Yeah!!! Adam West vs Adam West!!!

[purplegill10]

BEST FLASH GAME EVER!

[CrystalSphear]

Robin looks so gay

[jgardstein]

umm... how did this get a better rating then MoH (Medal of Honor) atleast medal of honor had a story line awsome graphics and a fun multiplayer. this had n64 graphics and press a for the game if you wanted to watch the cartoon watch it lol shitty review thanks ign

[SuperMicklovin]

this guys pretty funny

[SuperMicklovin]

i thought catman was a good guy ? or was it just that justice league episode...

[mattsimo500]

why doesn't ghostman just lose the clothes so no one can see him??

[S0ryiu]

The villians in BaB aren't even from BAtman proper, they are cross series DC villians.

[9898091335]

wii ownrs all the best!!!

[evilbeaver181]

@9898091335 Keep telling yourself that even though deep down you could only wish to play a ps3 or 360. Unfortunately you are stuck with the wii. Quite sad really :(

[KingOfClubz100]

@evilbeaver181 Until the Wii 2/U pounds the 360 into the ground with Mario and Zelda, LOL.

[9898091335]

its 4 wiii!!! gud luck wiii ownrs..ha ha ha

[chasesceneguy]

(batman): take this wall! (wall):you know i have a doorknob? (batman)oh never mind i knew that

[chasesceneguy]

this is just retarded but i'm a batman fan so i might get it :)

[sammyboy798]

this is the first time ign has made me laugh back up dancer for lady gaga lol!!

[Marzell765]

Cat-Man as in the real adam west!?

[oddodd1331]

HAHAHAHA

Thats what you get for playing Wii!

[oddodd1331]

lol, catman's a loser

[TheStolenBike]

Catman: Became a villian just because he was bored. Then he became big, fat loser. He then went to Africa to live with the Lions and gain back his strength and confidence. But one day Luthor killed his "family" so catman joined the Secret Six to punish anyone, good or bad, that mis-uses their power.

[SANTIDSINFINITY]

Read Secret Six, Catman is fucking awesome

[Awgez24]

GOTY for sure.

[Huskeyyyyy]

Batman's small ears look stupid.

[MrMrmeanperson]

LOL this is a full game on wii?

[TheStolenBike]

@MrMrmeanperson it does look more like a flash game

[DarKKnightt07]

ign sucks, they hired 14 year old kids to give opinions on video games, lame.

[cenorexia]

Obviously the reviewer didn't play the whole game or else he'd definitely commented on on the hard-as-hell Bat-Mite challenge after the last episode or the possibility to link the Wii game with the DS version. Also no word about the upgrade system? Still I'm mostly with him considering his other regards. The game rocks! Especially in Co-Op! Also it's humorous as hell (i.e. the Blue Beetle episode!). Worth a try for fans of old school beat 'em ups! :D

[thefreakazoid100]

the gameplay reminds me of the INCREDIBLY SUCKISH! ps2 version of Web of Shadows

[acicon]

@thefreakazoid100 c'mon dude, that game was horrible. this batman game is playable and actually has some fun factor in it. Web of Shadows for the PS2/PSP had NO fun in it whatsoever

[krazykillerhippo]

this would be a great wiiware game

[GreaTMaX32]

The green lantern looks like gay.

LOL !

[bassdawg441]

@GameBat21 The whole point of the game is to use the graphics as the TV series, bring back the roots of Batman, such as cheesy lines and a more fighting style of Batman.

By the way, the order of importance in video games are,

Gameplay

Story

Graphics.

[GameBat21]

This reviewer actually LIKES that show?! He's gay and this game looks HORRIBLE

[o0Smexy0o]

@GameBat21 You're gay, and graphics doesn't mean shit.

[GameBat21]

@o0Smexy0o Didn't say anything about graphics first off 2nd ur saying you like the show too? And I'M the gay one? douchebag

[o0Smexy0o]

@GameBat21 Nope, I havn't even watched it, it doesn't air here in Sweden idiot. You said that the game looks horrible.

[GameBat21]

@o0Smexy0o Well excuse the fact I DON'T LIVE IN SWEDEN. You think I check up on the internet what's playing on TV in other places in the world? And yes, the game looks horrible. Nowadays people expect great graphics in a video game

[o0Smexy0o]

@GameBat21 Well, that isn't the case. You said that I loved the show, and it doesn't air in Sweden is just something to prove that you're wrong. If I liked the show, it doesn't make me gay though. Game doesn't look horrible, but for me I just dont like it. And no, only graphic whores cares about great graphic. I mean, it's nice with it, but if it doesn't look that good it doesn't matter, as long as the game is fun.

[GameBat21]

@o0Smexy0o That's basically one of the biggest reasons why we play games, Graphics, gameplay, storyline and because we're bored and it's fun. and lol on graphic whores, it's just these days we expect great graphics because of our technology we have today that we're fortunate enough to have

[o0Smexy0o]

@GameBat21 No. THE reason is gameplay. Story is pretty important, but not as much as gameplay. You shouldn't expect awesome graphics from the Wii, because that the Wii isn't a powerstation, but many games for the Wii (Super Mario Galaxy 2) has awesome gameplay, and the graphics fits very well also. Well, it's nice with great graphics, but I dont give a shit if it doesn't got great graphics, as long as the gameplay is great.

[tyl3r70]

lol! 0:32 made me laugh so hard cuz its true!!

[kakosevikamviksa]

this game isn't that bad cuz it beats harry potter and the deathly hallows

[Eqinok237]

catman=fairlyoddparents

[edgar93dc]

its funny cuz when Brave and the Bold came out in comics it was supposed to be alot more darker than the normal stuff. Speedy, Green Arrows side kick was a freakin heroin addict. kinda ironic its so kiddy now.but i love the aspect that they put in more heroes like Wildcat, Guy Gardner (the back up dancer), Hawkman and yes Golden Age Flash is most definitly alive. he is a member of the JSA

[DylanPwns01]

Jesus does this guy READ comics. I for one a comic nut have. Such as Golden Age flash is always making appearences in the Flash comics with Wally West and Bart Allen. The green arrow? Hell even Cat man. Do some studying before a review.

[PalestraMetafora]

Guy Gardner "looks like a backup dancer for Lady Gaga". LMAO. Someone should put this description in a comic.

[Saintbalor]

Catman?... like... Fairly Odd Parents Catman?... Oh wait... there's actually a Catman commic book.

[UglyFishStudios]

Robin is so gay.

[GrossmeisterD]

Great game for stoned gameing sessions.

[bokeng123]

This game is great!!! I have the WII version.The only problem is that you can only play as a small group of heroes. If there were more heroes to play as and more villains to take on this game would a blast and would sell like hot pancakes. 

[Kim9217684]

brave and the bold batman i think it's stupid the old one looked cool but this one looks so silly and i hate it when they make batman blue

[MrMrmeanperson]

yeah i think ill stick with batman arkham asylum on my xbox360

[KeyOfReason001]

@MrMrmeanperson me too, but i do like the show.

[themonkeykingsongoku]

the game looks good but it looks more like a game that should be on the cartoonnetwork website than anything else

[badfoody]

dang I thought it'd be like Shank

[Lukesparow221]

omfg catman is from fairly odd parents!!!

[amernice]

you like the show a lot?!

how old the fuck are you? 10?

the show you stupid fuck was made exclusively for kids of ages between 5 to 12 years old

what the fuck is wrong with you

[powermasterjazz]

@amernice  He has good taste...the show is awesome

[deraickripper]

@amernice fuck you, the show is AMAZING, for anyone who knows about comics see jaime reyes in the same show as guy gardner or dick in his earth 2 custume is pure fun. 

[RobochaoXX]

@amernice Are you retarded? You just tried to insult the reviewer by asking if he was 10 and then you stated it was made exclusively for people ages 5-12.

He's not doing anything wrong, and you need to be shot in the head for great justice.

[Leont64]

@amernice Listen, kid, we will care about your opinion when you become at least 10 years old, till then, go watch your 12 year old brother play Call of Duty on line.

[HackX9]

no offense but i strangely like Batman The Brave and the Bold cartoon, cause it truly has some kickass stuff, with some annoying things as well.

[MrROcKiNjOhNy]

how the fuck did this get a 6.5 and medal of honor gets a 6.0

[TrashyPatty]

@MrROcKiNjOhNy

Well, clearly it's a better game.

Not everyone likes shooters, you know. Especially crappy shooters.

[idonthaveacoolcar]

WoW nice there still making games for the Snes thats awesome

[9898091335]

@idonthaveacoolcar

yes its nice game

[Naruku2121]

Batman's the one Super Hero who's cool either Campy or Dark. Either way he's Batman. A good thing about that is because of those different tones he's acceptable to all ages.

[watson2078]

@TheMartialartsJedi Well actually, the original Bob Kane comics, had the same feeling as the Adam West batman, with bright colors and a different villain every week. Batman only became dark and brooding after Frank Miller started writing the graphic novels in the 80's. Batman doesn't have one specific style and I happen to like the more silver age version better! Peace

[deraickripper]

@watson2078 well that is not entirely true, batman was dark and grim (for exemple in his fight with dr death) for the first 2 years.

and went back to dark in the mid 70's, with o'neil

[ultron14000]

The show is awsome, so the game MUST be awsome.

[fellowmanH2]

Protect youtube from David Hasslehoff

[krookedclown916]

Yes Sir!

[immortalfrieza]

The cartoon is pretty good, because it is amusing without becoming the campy crap that was the 60's show, and not completely phasing out the dark side of things either. Seriously, has anyone born in the last 20 years actually tried to watch the 60's show and actually like it? If the 60's show had started ten or twenty years later, it would have been cancelled mid first season.

[MartialArtsfreestyle]

actually i know gentlemen ghost this series based of of the idea of old batman comic so u r wrng.

[narutofano03]

1:50 the music meister LOL

[PoPfan108SW]

I find this new Batman Cartoon(and game) great.It's kid freindly mostly,but seriously,it's that good.

[Sulberto]

You wii owners enjoy playing this piece of shit. We Ps3 and Xbox360 owners enjoy games like dead rising 2, red dead redemption etc.

[dudeofdeath868]

@Sulberto I have both lol

[aloyziskee]

@Sulberto Don't hate dude :)

[nynosix]

what a terrible review

[downwithutube]

Watch you mouth when talking about Catman! He's a badass!

[TheAvengedScar]

You guys think we DONT know catman? shame on you!

[MsMariosonic]

@TheAvengedScar Fairly odd parents?

[P0mt3]

So, IGN is hiring High Schoolers to do their reviews these days?

Awesome . . .

[FletcherHabit]

*singing to Katy Perry's 'I kissed a girl' * I stink like shit, but I like it.....I like it!

[kirielvids]

looks gaaaaaayy. i thought it might be like a game that starts out looking terrible and ends up being awesome but its just sucky all the way through

[FireWing404]

is this game out in the USA??

[SPEIGHTS78]

This guy sounds cool but he also sounds like he doesn't know alot about comicbooks. When he said he thought Jay Garrick was dead that pretty much told me so. And calling Hawkman a less known character is some what an understatement. Both of which are on the JSA. But the game stil looks nice and comicbook fans like myself would just say its fun to play.

[dead82]

so it's like lego batman

without the lego

but you gotta love that they make it look like the cartoon

[TheAssassin646]

ign you suck

[spartanthebrute]

This reviewer sounds like a queer.

[bennyontherun11]

omg this couldnt look any worse. who would buy this game

[johnwall2wizards]

they shud make a batman game based on the animated series from the 1990's

[KILLAHBEAM]

"and you take down villains you never heard og like catman!

i think we all know who catman is, silly ign...

[MrSkullcrazy21]

i actually did not skip the add with david hasselhoff cause hes the HOFF

[unseendoom117]

LOL OMFG NORTON ADD WITH DAVID HASLHOF!!!!

[calel360]

ROFL this is like £25 on play!!!

[danyosan]

Wii sucks--end of story.

[WhatKindofNameisYuki]

really u dont know who cat man is and those heros are easy too recognize Guy gardner really look at him he looks like a greenlantern come on now jeez IGN im really tired of thses simple reviews

[jdbabyv3]

this guy seriously thought Jay Garrick was dead?!?! what a fucking idiot! i mean u can simply WALK into a comic shop not even read or open a comic and know hes still alive for Christs sake

[Zangdoodle]

Catman is in Secret Six , noob

[Xephon212]

Hey reviewer the game is simple because it is designed for children. It's like buyin Star Craft 2 for a toddler and complaining about a steep learning curve.

[Olemguy]

Uhhhhm... I'm more looking forward to Arkham City.

[calel360]

@Olemguy lol im looking forward to old age and loss of bladder control more than this ;-)

[FrozenKing142]

it totally SUCKS

[Schwinn333]

so with their new ratings system, are 6s good?

[googledoogle]

You guys whine about the outcome of reviews a lot. Like seriously, A LOT.

[TheAdamocovicProject]

im 16 but everyone i know watch the 60s version wen we were like 8 coz of re runs before school

[STUNTS1516]

Brave and the bold was awfull, Bring back "The Batman"

[Th3SP1C]

@STUNTS1516 The batman was awesome even though th the jokered

[Doop3r]

@STUNTS1516 The Batman was awful with the single worst design for the Joker ever. Period. End of story. Brave & The Bold however is fun and well written show, just not of a dark Batman. It show the flexibility of the character and his world, and does the good work of exposing kids to more comic characters. It's a fun show, and a completely different beast than the amazing BTAS, but a fun kind of beast.

[MrAkbarman]

@Doop3r sorry dude, but i cant agree with u on that one... the batman is better than brave and the bold in every way.First, batmans voice is AMAZING!!! its sounds like that always annoyed voice that goes along perfectly with an anoyed line. Second, the art is a good idea since it makes the characters more flexible and third,. the episodes, i was bored and watched an episode of the batman and i was sooo freakin freaked out! it was full of mystery, action and extremely funny !! ( sum zombie ep.)

[MrAkbarman]

@Doop3r but i agree with u on robin and jokers artwork, i mean robin with gel??? but even though jokers artwork was bad, his smie is to die for =D

[STUNTS1516]

@Doop3r

What are you talking about it was brilliant!

Granted the jokers design was different but so what?

The Joker character is 70 years old whats the harm in an updated look every once and while?

[LWebb1000]

Man I really feel bad for gamers who only have a Wii, I hear your cries.

[imbusy64]

looks rather good might get if price goes down

[kazamman33]

This looks like a GBA game

[murdok620]

haha green lantern looks like lady gagas backup dancer for tht alehadro song

[FrozenKing142]

@murdok620 lol true

[TheHappyKamper]

This guy sounds like Michael Cera

[kazamman33]

@TheHappyKamper so true

[banabpg]

@TheHappyKamper you are so rigghht dude

[confusion444]

ill just w8 for akrham city 2

[PlayItRough09]

0:33 THE NEW GREEN LANTERN LOOKS WORST THEN HAL JORDAN, WTF DC!?!?!?

[Doop3r]

@PlayItRough09 Guy's hardly new, he's been around since the 60's, and that look for him since the 80's.

[joekillerdude68]

Lol looked like a flash game

[Nosfrax]

this game will be named , yet another stupid, bored, and child game for wii, now this time we screwed batman =D

[sakatakintoki3]

so is there ADAM WEST?!?!?!?!

[superaidsta]

2:55 is that portrait a bit harsh for a kids game p.s this got higher score than sp shattered dimensions?? WTF?

[AndrewsRanger]

ne one else get the david hasslehoff ad?? lol

[HebrooooHammer]

Wasn't catman Adam West's character on the fairly oddparents. Wish they made a game about that show...

[choloeseguay]

@HebrooooHammer they had a fairly oddparents game for the gamecube

[madskizophrenik]

What a joke...I guess they can still make bad Batman games even after Arkham showed how its done...and Batman at least has a good game I mean look at Spiderman...pity...

[lococo000]

@madskizophrenik Err...Spider-Man has had many great games.

[madskizophrenik]

@lococo000 Name one!

[kenthegamer]

This is stupid that IGN was talking about call of duty on a batman game. Long live Game Informer, Nintendo Power and all reviewers who aren't IGN.

[theDog99942]

@kenthegamer when did he say that? I didn't hear it.

[shayaan2354]

DAMN! For half of the review it seemed like he was loving the game. It looks like Muramasa, except simpler, and with Batman. Shouldn't that be great?

[brestevam]

wait... "- too simple"?!?

so each game needs to be fucking ahead of it's time so it can get a good score? i don't get it. >.>

[whcaprice]

I wish this game was on psn, my brother and i woulld play it heaps, people talk about batman needing to be dark and gorey, but honestly why cant one enjoy all the aspects to it, eg: no one complained about lego batman being to dark and gorey.

[Sodorii]

Wii have had a batman game for quite the time, lego batman :D

[CrazyTheGoat]

did anyone get that david hasslehoff add
