- Batman the Brave and the Bold becomes Joker the vile and the Villainous as the script is flipped. The Joker must team up with the Weeper (a classic Fawcett era villain) to defeat Batman who has launched a device that will end all crime. In a nod to the Joker's first solo series this episode focuses on the Clown Prince of Crime's quest to stop the Dark Knight's reign of order. Does this episode work? Just who is the Weeper? Is Batman truly the villain? We discuss here on Casually Comics!

"Fire Me Boy!!" I know that's not his catchphrase lol, but who wants to learn more about Bulletman?
I would love more Bulletman.
It's human bullet from my fave cartoon show the tick but I do want to learn more from it
Didn't Bulletman inspire the bulleteer from the Grant Morrison seven soldiers story or was that someone else?
Please educate them ❤❤❤. bulletman is... It's wild
Yeahhhhhhh
I love the joker tossing salt over his shoulder when batman calls him superstitious
If you're a fish, every fisherman is a villain.
Yeah but only the aquaman villain the fisherman would use dolphins to smuggle five million francs worth of Heroin into France
@@blistow3519You mean he used dolphins as mules?
@@dlee827 yes. It’s actually the perfect plan when the French police go to stop the dolphins Aquaman jumps in to protect the sea life as he assumes the French are just machine gunning dolphins for no reason. Aquaman getting involved then lets the Heroin filled dolphins escape
The Fisherman that confused me the most was from the relatively recent (2021) event *"Future State"* in which he was part of the "evil Justice League" aka _The Justice Squad_ (as Aquaman's evil counterpart), when they faced of against the Suicide Squad led by Peacemaker.
[that was a few months before Gunn's "The Justice League" came out, so the Peacemaker craze hadn't reached its maximum potential yet]
Anyway, he was apparently the real Fisherman, but was possessed by a Xenoform parasite (previously disguising itself as his distinctive helmet, as seen in "Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis") that really messed with his mind & body.
*"Future State"* was a mixed bag, but i did enjoy their short Suicide Squad run, that only lasted 2 issues, buuuut was directly followed by the 15 issues long "Infinite Frontier's *War for Earth-3* " Suicide Squad run in 2022, so I tend to consider them as one and the same.
I love how Batman bullied Weeper for not being evil enough. Like WTF Bruce?
I wonder if it is a psychological warfare, like making opponent who is doubtful give up, as The Weeper seems be type who would do so
_We're getting closer to the Music Meister episode...._
It's a song that we all want to heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr~
THE HEART CONFIRMS IT
It could be funny if she sang during part of the review?
I have an idea for how they can work him into canon. Batman: Fortunate Son Part Two.
I'm really looking forward to both Music Meister and the series finale!
The concept of Batman being seen from another person's perspective as a menacing, scary, oppressive figure was a common staple of the Shadow series. The stories were often told from the perspective of one of his "agents" ( who were loyal but also intimidated by him) or by the villain or by a victim. Everyone saw the Shadow as this mysterious, unyielding, uncompromising force for brutal justice. He made everyone nervous.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
@@EdmondDantes224”The Shadow knows!”
I’ve always felt you could use that concept to make an awesome horror movie. Like to criminals batman is basically a horror movie villain like Micheal or Jason
@@blistow3519 I was just talking to someone about this the other day. To a street level criminal, imagine how terrifying Spider-Man would be
@@waterloo32594 “The weed of crime bears bitter fruit!”
It’s fun seeing joker being a fan boy for one’s. Normally joker will always double cross his partner so this is a fun twist
I wonder if this episode was a response to Dark Knight's third act. It's clever how they had Batman doing something ethically dubious enough that you root for The Joker while still having it make sense that Joker would want to stop him
Imagine having a huge interest in older, lost by the wayside villains and then seeing this episode. It was a real joy. Now if only there had been some more of the Cavalier...
Not quite a full episode, but he was the main villain in one of the stories in "Bold Beginnings"
There's something about The Weeper and his delivery of "No... Th-that's not fair!" in the bar seeing Batman's Crime Computer that's always stuck with me.
Great episode!
Season 2 Episode 7, A Bat Divided. Doctor Double X splits Batman into three different personalities. Leads to my favorite clip to send people out of context. "BATMAN DOES NOT EAT NACHOS!"
*then eats a nacho*
@@markmagician2471 Grrrr....
I can see the Weeper and the Scarecrow being an interesting pairing. Like Weeper borrows Scarecrow's fear toxin idea, but alters it so it makes be cry uncontrollably. Tears of Fear they can call it, I don't know lol
Not to be confused with the 80s Pop Rock band Tears for Fears. Although they should still probably title one of the chapters "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".
@@anthonyrobles4127it goes even worse full circle seeing this ep had guy with camera on head and this song was used as theme in one rather peculiar web series
The Weeper's weapons really amused me. The trick hanky that could either turn into a spear if he flicked his wrist or into a trap if he blew his nose on it. Just coming up with Brave and Bold twists on crying themed objects gave me a good laugh.
Big Brother Bat Tech also major Dark Knight vibes.
I think the all-seeing eye Batman makes may be a silver age reference, but more in that it’s the kind of thing that could have happened, not that it did. I’m reminded of how often mind control was presented as a perfectly fine thing to do, like in the Superman Red/Blue issue.
Ya during that time the old war it was AMerica good Crime and our enemies bad. Silver age heros were pretty immoral
SO much closer to what I wanted after reading Joker 2 but not THERE 10 year old Rob WAS thinking "how can joker meet Weeper without bullet man?!
Ooh, I love the idea of doing a Villain, Hero revesal story where the swap is in how the characters are framed non-diegetically rather than what they do. That's fun.
Seeing you reference the Human Bullet warms my heart. That show had so many great battle cries. "Rockets from the sockets!" "Not in the face!" "Put it in the happy box!"
I love how the Joker goes all BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES in the opening act. Wish the villain bar had appeared a 3rd time.
The angleman appeared recently in Tom Kings Wonder Woman run.
Angel? So it’s like Pagans Vs Evangelists.
@@mattphillips3537I meant Angle, dang auto correct lol
I love how Joker toss salt over his shoulder after being called superstitious 😂🤣
I love the trope in superhero media where villains have this bar they’d hang out at
Might not be a villain in superhero stuff, but there's two characters you can call "Doctor Triplex" over at Disney in that the Mad Doctor's castle has a "Doctor XXX" sign in that original short and the Blaggard Castle arc of the Mickey Mouse comic strip had a Doctor Triplex as the leader of a trio of evil monkey scientists (the others being Ecks and Doublex).
More obscure villains and heroes, please! That is what got me into comics - the might have beens, the terrible ideas and the fun one-offs.
Bulletman is an interesting character to me. Ever since I saw him in that JLA/JSA/Earth-S crossover (or maybe in the Shazam 40's to 70's volume), I wanted to know more about him. He's one of the few Fawcett superheroes (not connected to Captain Marvel) that isn't just an ordinary person (like Mr. Scarlet, Pinky, Spy Smasher, and Minuteman). And the fact that he has a sidekick (Bulletgirl) and even a pet (Bulletdog) only made him more interesting to me. Plus, he always looks like he's one of those heroes that only has the power to fly, but there's so much more going on with him.
Not only does the gravity helmet let him fly, it has magnetic powers that attract bullets to the helmet, so he doesn't have to worry about getting shot. And naturally, if he wants to fly into something, the helmet will protect him as he flies like a bullet to this target. But oddly, there's even more to the character. He drank a serum that enhanced his intelligence and strength. So, he technically has superhuman strength, but he doesn't like to show that off too often.
So, with all this going for him, I couldn't wait to read his Golden Age adventures... but man, are they boring (to me at least). YMMV. He fights a lot of ordinary crooks with only the occasional bit of weirdness. I've been reading a lot of Golden Age comics lately and a lot of them are hard to get through, but I expected more from Bulletman since he was published by Fawcett comics whose Marvel Family comics were so incredibly fun.
Another brave and the bold video..... this series was legit one of the greatest DC animated gems 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
The Batman-Skibidi Toilet crossover Sasha has now manifested
So, if this is the last time we see Kamandi, does that mean this is the canonical way this version of the DC Universe ends?
I'm now down the Fisherman rabbit hole. Thanks, Sasha!
Have you come across his plan to use dolphins to smuggle five million francs worth of heroin into France yet? Yes that is a real thing it’s in one of his earliest appearances (maybe his first) and has become one of my favourite comic book moments of all time as the French police yell at aquaman for saving the dolphin and aquaman is just so shocked
@@blistow3519 Sounds cool, I'll look for that. I ordered Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis Book One, and the Fisherman is in issues 48-49.
@@Dougeb7 oooh nice. I don’t believe I’ve read sword of Atlantis so may have to look into that
The dolphin smuggling drugs story is adventure comics 443. The story itself is called ‘The Dolphin Connection’ not the fisherman’s first appearance but still pretty early and is proper silver age Aquaman
Ugh I love Brave and the Bold so good. I'd love if you covered some of the silver age brave and the bold issues they get really weird sometimes
I didn’t know that the Joker is related to Gene Simmons.
I was going to say I could see the resemblance, but then I realized I was thinking of _Richard_ Simmons.
They are making a new Batman movie based in the 1940's and with it making a new origin for Harley Quinn! Would love to see you tackle the actual 1940's Harlequin, the one from the Green Lantern comics!
It's rare that there is an episode of Batman brave and the bold I don't know and I have no memory of this episode!
Batman sounded like a over the top supervillain talking about his ''master plan''
3:36 That actually is a villain from the Mickey Mouse Comics, there's Dr. Ecks, Dr. Double Ecks, and Dr. Triple Ecks.
There's probably also already an adult character called Dr. XXX who are we kidding? lol
Honestly one of my favorite episodes. When my dad and I binged all the DC cartoons during the pandemic, Brave and the Bold stood out to us as top tier.
Minor nitpick, but always hated how they teased Preston Payne Clayface in this episode, but then the Scooby Doo crossover movie just did the Basil Karlo version instead.
I been waiting for either Basil Karlo or Matt Hagen Clayface to appear in Batman Brave and the Bold for sometime. And seeing one of them in the Batman Brave and the Bold Scooby Doo crossover was such a delightful treat! 👍🏻
I had no idea Weeper was from a comic! I always assumed he was an original character
I dont remember this episode but it does look so fun and that emotional reversal is great
It is a great one. Try to find it.
Funnily enough, this is one episode I remember a lot from the show in no small part because of Weeper being interesting paradox.
Honestly, a show or mini-series with this premise would be interesting.
Plus, I’ve had an updated take on The Weeper in my head for a while.
Brave and the Bold is one of the best DC shows ever. Can we just appreciate the cameos of the more obscure Batman villains? It kinda shows that the writers of this whole show must have been large comic book nerds.
3:51 I think this is possibly the worst thing you've ever said
Lol I'm deep in the Skibidi toilet lore because of my kids
And yet it was incredibly apt!
Come December you should do the Tick's Christmas episode. Its brilliant.
Would really like to see your thoughts on the Barry Allen episode of the show. It was during a time when Geoff Johns' influence was very prevalent as evident by Jay Garrick saying in the episode "Barry was THE Flash" which as a Wally West fan kinda irks me.
I really enjoyed that episode, the speedster hamster wheel feels like a nod to the Dark Knight Strikes Back, and Prof Zoom was very fun in that as well (although it must be noted they gave him Zolomon's black eyes).
he’s also voiced by john wesley shipp (1990s live-action flash)
Certified Wally Glazer. I like him but he isn't my favorite.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 Seems the concept of subjectivity escapes you.
@@The_Phantasm I'm just saying don't diss Barry.
Superstitious!?! .clutches peals. 😮 I feel attacked energy
I do the the Bulleteer, who came out of Seven Soldiers. Although in that she doesn't have the power of flight and has to drive someone to a hospital. Then in subsequent appearances she is suddenly able to fly, which seemed like either a retcon or a case of missed memos. She popped up a long time after Seven Soldiers in Green Lanterns, in the story 'Superhuman trafficking.' Always nice when they show us they've not forgotten.
The Joker's training plan:
Step 1: Steal a lollipop from a doll baby.
Step 2: Fight Batman.
Step 3: Profits (?)
What could possibly go wrong with that? 😅
It's so heartwarming to see Polka dot man now in the camp of the formerly obscure now
I would love to see a horror style Batman movie, shown from the perspective of the villains. Really shows how the criminals actually see him without all the context.
great episode as always! Beautiful. 🙂 I thought the Weeper was the Shade for a bit haha!
This is one of my favorite episodes of BTBATB. Most of the comedy lands really well, like the incongruity of the Joker deciding that since the Weeper was able to steal candy from a baby, that means he's ready for Batman, or the Joker hoping saying that the bat probe might not work, only to be caught 2 seconds later. The scene where Batman announces his plan to the criminals on live television is also hilarious on a meta-level because of how many times Joker has taunted Batman through the television, such as "Christmas With the Joker" or "The Laughing Fish" in BTAS.
Yes, yes I did read the Joker series from the 70s (as back issues, I wasn't buying comics back when it first came out). I remember they mentioned the difficulties of having Joker escape every month so that they could do the next issue. But the real problem seemed to be that they didn't know what to do when a villain was the main character of a series. The issue with the comic strip artist was fun, but ridiculous.
This show was my favorite majorly because the homage it constantly paid the the forgotten Golden Age and early Silver Age characters. I’m not a comics aficionado by any means but growing up with a bunch of gritty Batman media as a kid and then seeing this show try to blend the more modern version of Batman with the levity that naturally stems from these older, more absurd rogues and heroes was just so cool! Also Diedrich Bader’s Batman is probably one of my favorite vocal performances with how much fun he has with it.
Batman: Brave and the Bold doesn't get enough love. Such a great show!
Kids these days. With cameras on their heads. In my day we had mullets. And liked it.
You either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself become the hero lol
That was a great episode. It's amazing how easy it is to make Batman look like the bad guy with just a slight shift in perspective (especially when he's pulling shady surveillance stuff like this).
The Eye gizmo in this episode reminds me of the Flying-Eye in "The 1001 Inventions of Batman" (Batman #109)...not sure if it's a direct refence. It might also be a reference to the morally questionable cellphone tracking system that Batman used in Nolan's "The Dark Knight" a couple of years earlier.
Looking forward to any and all videos about obscure Batman villains! The Spinner is a favorite of mine -- that original story features one of the cleverest super-villain plots I've ever seen (no spoilers, for those who haven't read it).
You should talk about villains bar
Is that in the comics? I know Marvel has The Bar With No Name which is pretty much the same thing.
@@user-we4yd6df4w don’t know I feel like it’s a thing in the cartoons
Now I hope you do a retrospective on the many The Fisherman.
"Fun and well-executed" is how the Joker likes it.
I enjoyed the Ruth Buzzi character cameo
Yes I do wanna hear more about Bullet Man.
Also thanks for reminding me to watch The Tick again. That show was part of my childhood that I need to revisit. Main thing I remember now is how in the first episode they make The Punisher out to be a guy with mommy issues.
I love all the references and Easter Eggs in Batman the Brave and the Bold. Even a casual viewer will wonder about some of the background characters and possibly look them up.
Not only is Dr. Poison the bartender (which is amusing) but the bouncer is the bouncer.
Also, in the 2008 movie “the Dark Knight” the Joker is portrayed to the audience the same way Batman would appear to criminals in Gotham in that movie and the previous movie (Batman begins).
They don’t know where Batman came from, where or how he’s able to get all of his gadgets, how he learned how to fight so well, how he’s thwarting their plans and knows where and when they’re about to do crimes and such, etc..
But the audience is along with Batman for the ride and gets to see where and how he’s getting his info, combat training, gadgets plans to foil the villains plans, etc..
The Joker in that movie to the audience is like Batman, you don’t know where he came from but there are multiple theories and rumors, how he makes his plans is never shown, where and how he’s acquiring his weapons and explosives and such is never shown, how he managed to plant the bombs in all the places he’s planted bombs in isn’t shown, etc..
This episode is kinda like that. But from the Jokers perspective instead of Batman’s.
Sure, Bullet Man, let's go!
12:28 I also thought of that episode of tick, and then I realized that couldn’t be right. I think the only thing I know him from is the 90’s star man. That was a great run and my only source for many things. Like hour man.
The weeper ! A fun silly episode
this episode brings back fond memories of the Monarch mentoring Augustus St. Cloud as Billy Quizboy's foe
Love the green highlights look!
Love your Hair ! Did you style it thst way as a tribute that Madman of Mirth ! Ha ha ha , ho ho ho he ha ho !!!!!!
Bulletman is a really deep cut and there was even another non-DC Bulletman in the Old Tall GI Joe line. Plus, he eventually gained a Bulletgirl - because 1940's.
SPOON!
You should do a retrospective on The Fisherman
Sasha I LOVED this Review. thanks. Great references to classic bronze age DC Joker # 2 and Justice League of America #136. Ernie Chua covers and Next to Last Golden Age Batman story.
Watching this episode gave me a similar vibe to playing the Villain missions in LEGO Batman The Videogame.
I found this episode highly unsettling on an number of levels,
YES TELL ME MORE ABOUT FUNNY BULLET GUY
(Using J. Jonah Jameson's voice) "Establishing a vigilante-funded surveillance state? That flying rodent is a menace!!!"
Don’t know if it’s just me, but in addition to the machine seeming to be inspired by brother eye, it also gives me Sauron vibes with the “all seeing eye” that pinpoints your location to catch you as well as the architecture of the machine. Could just be me though 🤣
I would like a video on Bulletman with special mention of Living Bullet, a character from the 'Dial M for Monkey' segments of Dexter's Laboratory. While he does have the bullet aesthetic of Bulletman, Living Bullet was more of an amalgamation parody of Iron Man, Quicksilver, and Flash.
WONDROUS! Comics videos don’t get any better than this! Unless they have more Lois in them. Lois!
Triple X is a villain in Sleepers, but he isn't a doctor so you are safe!
You are such a treasure. I hope you never change.
9:08 - Wait, was Batman just about to kill the Joker with a sword?
More Bulletman. And any of those obscure villains from the bar!
Remember the tick once trained squirrel girl
I'd love to see you cover The Tick more and EC comics.
Joker sounds more like Garfield than Chris Pratt.
This was one of my favorite episodes
I thought i recognized the Weeper's voice!!!!
Yes, please, more Bulletman!!!
i want to see a race between bulletman and Superman. To see if he is really faster than a speeding bullet...
I have to watch this episode. I did read the Joker series from the seventies....yeah I am old
I’d love to see some Bulleteer of the Seven Soldiers of Victory.
Today's Batman/Scooby Mysteries feat. Clue Master. Can you cover Cluemaster? I don't really recognize him even though I've seen pretty much every episode of every show.
I'm pretty sure that Batman builds in this is a reference to brother eye
Can you do an episode on Bulletman/Bulletgirl? They seem like some interesting heroes.
It reminds me of your story on Golden Age Sandman and I would like for you to do a story on his girlfriend. I find it fascinating that she used to be a thief and was more active in the hero business than most love interests at the time.
I love how much thought was put in to BtBatB
Joker thinks Garfield is funny....he really is insane. Villain as the lead comics are strange, as a kid I owned Galactus #1 which was simply a more expanded telling of his origin.
