Exactly.

After rewatching "Chill of the Night!" I now believe that it was the best representation of Batman in animation, if not the best representation we have gotten. The rest of Batman: The Brave and the Bold didn't really meet that standard again, but that one episode did better than even some comics represented Batman.

I really enjoyed that episode of Brave and the Bold. It gave me an interest in the Spectre character, and it was written well.
Brave and the Bold was a great Batman series, but that episode was awesome.

Besides, who can forget the awesomeness of Slacker Batman.

People don't give Brave and the Bold enough credit. It's a fun series if they can get out of the whole "It's not TAs, it's not grim dark, it's shit" mentality.

That's the problem I had with a lot of people when talking about it, everyone writing it off because it wasn't super serious.
I really love that show, and my only complaint concerning it was that it advertised that it wanted to use the lesser known characters/less popular versions of popular characters, then proceeded to constantly re-use Aquaman (I loved the big ham, but he even took up half of Ryan Choi/The Atom's debut episode) and Green Arrow.

Brave and the Bold was a brilliant series. It was so refreshing to see a series embrace that side of Batman again.

I like it's showcasing of DC's Not-Batman heroes, like Jonah Hex, Red Tornado, B'Wana Beast or that detective chimp. I had no problem with light hearted Batman, in fact the darker stuff tends to annoy me since it makes Batman too pandering-y.
Yes, he's a tragic character. Yes, a lot of his villains are also tragic. Yes, the series is supposed to be dark. But unless you can show some level of joy in the lives of the characters, even if it's just a villian getting sick kicks out of being evil (like the Joker), the story just gets dull.

If I want Batman to be all no-nonsense gruff and serious, but still want fun, I put him next to heroes that show off the vast pallet of emotions. Which is why BatB team ups with Aquaman were so fun. Aquaman is a lovable ham.

I loved their version of Aquaman, though.

I do hope we get another series like The Brave and the Bold some time in the future. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Batman show, but something lighthearted and fun but with some very serious episodes thrown into the mix. I say this mainly because I don't want my kids to grow up with cartoons of the same quality as what Cartoon Network airs today and advertises most often.
