Truly genius. Remarkably done.
I'm glad that they didn't break consistency with the series and have Batman "Decide that a game put a smile on his face". Very... bold... that Batman hated playing his own video game. Shows that they understand their audience. 
And I'm where I think you are, Liquid; discussing the quality and originality of the trailer, but not the actual game. We have Paragon Unleashed for that. 
"Can I be Batman?"
THat...was why I refused to watch the Brave and the Bold.

That's exactly why I decided to post it here. I feel that it's worth discussing the trailer on the merits of the trailer itself, because it's not only original, but could even be considered a mini Brave and the Bold episode.

Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

You mean because of the lighthearted nature of a show that is filled to the brim with all sorts of in-jokes and yet not only manages to wring every bit of cracky continuity from the source material but still remembers that it's all for fun and doesn't take itself too seriously?

I second this. It wasn't my cup of tea. The show reminded me of a cross between the 60s Batman series and the Wacky Racers. In fact the first episode I saw was exactly that.|

A little humor like in Teen Titans is ok but a complete series composed of goofiness just turns me off so I turn it off.

I loved that trailer.

Needs more Guy Gardner.
I thought it was great fun, and I like the series very much. And why? It remembers the universe from which it came. No convoluted 'reimagining' of the DCU, no need to fill it with unnecessary angst, and a Batman who enjoys what he's doing and is pretty damn good at doing it.
Plus, Diedrich Bader (yes, that one from the Drew Carey show and the lamentable Beverly Hillbilles movie) voices a great Silver Age Batman. Yay.

This is a throwback to the 60's/70's/early 80's stuff that I started to loath as a kid, much less a grown kid. It reminds me of Batman and Robin, the Schumacher film.
Camp can be good, but this is to much for me. It's an extreme departure from the comics, and the character himself. I remember reading the Batmite stuff in the comics, and I was not impressed then either.
Where as The Batman I was disappointed in the art style, and the depictions of the villains, in Batman:TAS I found the perfect depiction of Batman as well as his cast. There were bits of humor thrown in that were very Batman-ish. There was also continuity, and consequences. People died. Maybe not messily, but people died, and it brought a drama to the show.
Batman:TBaTB harks back to the Adam West style cartoony villains and jokes, and I can't take that. I snubbed it when Sho first loaded the poster for it, and every link that I have seen has made me very glad I have snubbed it. The only funny thing about that trailer was Green Arrow, and his "Can I be Batman", due to Ollie's Bat-envy. The voices annoyed me, as did the artwork.
Oops, I'm sorry. I thought this was the thread for the best. Trailer. Ever. My bad. I'll just leave this here.

I'm curious as to when the last time you watched the Adam West show, cause I can guarantee that it out-camps Brave & the Bold by a HUGE margin.

Well, I've only seen two episodes myself. The Wacky Racers episode and the Aquaman on vacation episode. And those two definitely outdo the Adam West series. And I think even Pokemon is better than that Aquaman travesty. But that's just my personal taste.

Have you actually WATCHED the show though, and given it a chance? Or just based your opinion on snippets and posters? Because I'll be honest, I was worried when it was first announced (I'm a huge fan of Batman: the Animated Series, myself, and still think it's the best depection of Batman ever), but after I actually watched a few episodes, I enjoyed it. It's not even close to being anything like the godawful Schumacher film (The ONLY movie I walked out of).
