After months of hibernation in the Bat-cave, Cartoon Network’s surreal animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold returns to brain-frying life Friday night with its mind on the multiversal money-shot.
Riding the same parallel-universe possibilities that energized recent films like Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and comics like Grant Morrison’s Final Crisis, Brave and the Bold’s latest episode, “The Super Batman of Planet X!,” upgrades France Herron’s 1958 story of the same name for a new millennium.
The continuity crossovers are a dizzying good time. Brave and the Bold’s Batman, voiced by Diedrich Bader, accidentally opens a wormhole (oops!) and lands on Herron’s planet Zurr En Arrh, only to find that his powers are more like Superman’s there (as seen in the video clip below).
