    Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame is a video game based on the comic book character Batman and the television cartoon series Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It was developed by WayForward Technologies and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was released on September 7, 2010, for the Wii and Nintendo DS, and is the only non-Lego Batman video game released for those platforms.

    Gameplay[edit]

    Batman: The Brave and The Bold – The Videogame is a side-scroller beat 'em up[1]/platformer with 2D animated visuals based on those of the cartoon series. Each level is presented as an episode and features Batman teaming up with one of several superheroes, including Hawkman, Robin, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle and Plastic Man to stop various supervillains.[2] Players have access to several gadgets and can also summon another Jump-In Hero to perform a powerful attack.[3] As the enemies are defeated, coins can be collected. They can be used to upgrade the various gadgets, making them more powerful.[4]

    The Nintendo DS version is a single-player game in which the player switches control between Batman and the available hero, using each of their abilities to progress through each level. Players with both versions of the game can control Bat-Mite in the Wii version via Nintendo DS connectivity.[3]

    Development[edit]

    The video game was developed under the direction of Adam Tierney, while working closely with Warner Bros. Animation. When pitching the idea to Warner Bros., they framed it as a 'playable cartoon'.[5] The intent was to replace extended cut-scenes with exhaustive dialogue in lieu of over 400 pages of quips and gags, and the occasional plot beat, that played out during the gameplay.[6]
