Oooooh okay, yeah. I was thinking of two different series. I guess The Brave and The Bold would have come out when I was right about to graduate, thus not paying attention to fucking Batman cartoons. So, I may have caught it on TV, thought it was the same thing I didn't like in 04. I wonder if I would like either of them now. I know I was one of those "This isn't TAS, so it's shit" kids. But I do think these two still look ugly as hell. I'll have to look em up one of these days I guess. Give em a fair run.I think you're thinking of "The Batman" from '04. Brave and the Bold came out in '08. I recall, from a really good comic, The New Frontier, they actually tried to blend the campier Adam West Batman into the overall mythos and it worked pretty well. While they just homaged the costume and didn't do all the goofy shit, Batman decides to kind of tone down the edge, specifically because when he tried to save children he was freaking them out too much, and he says something to the effect of, "I dress up to scare criminals, not children."
Regardless, the dramatic stuff is so connected to the character, that there have been tv and comic series just dealing with the day to day lives of law enforcement, because the world of Batman lends itself that well to procedurals/noir.
