There’s so much going on in the final 15 minutes or so that even one of the heroes feels obliged to comment on the ridiculousness of it all. But in true Brave and the Bold style, this one goes the extra mile bringing John DiMaggio’s brilliant Aquaman along for the ride, plus Jeffrey Combs as the Question, and Tom Kenny as Plastic Man for good measure, not to mention appearances from the Martian Manhunter and dozens (and I do mean dozens of Gotham City’s worst villains).Īt 75 minutes, it’s a little longer than it needs to be, and I think this story would have been a perfect two-parter were Brave and the Bold still in the business of episodic TV.
Pairing the Dark Knight Detective with everyone’s favorite teen mystery solvers would be enough, especially since it isn’t the first time its happened (the physical release comes with two vintage episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies which featured guest appearances from Batman and Robin). So now, let’s take the wacky theme of the Scooby-Doo Team-Up comic and marry it to the first new Batman: The Brave and the Bold content we’ve had in six years with Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold, the latest DC animated offering from Warner Bros. And the first issue of Scooby-Doo Team-Up featured none other than Batman. That honor goes to Scooby-Doo Team-Up, which each month pairs the gang with other DC Comics characters. And while my initial skepticism of Scooby Apocalypse turned out to be completely unjustified, it’s not the best of his printed adventures. While the Scooby gang’s animated adventures have had their ups and downs since then (and make no mistake, Mystery Incorporated will never be matched), Scooby has continued his alpha dominance of the mystery-solving canine detective genre in other areas, notably comics.įor one thing, there’s the better than it has any right to be Scooby Apocalypse, a slightly more (ahem) modern take on the Scooby mythos, putting the gang in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi scenario where the monsters are quite real.
The Scoobaissance has quietly been in effect since around 2010, when the superior Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated (objectively, the greatest of all Scooby-Doo cartoons) began its triumphant 52 episode run. There are few properties from the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons that have fared as well as Scooby-Doo has over the last decade or so.
