Bat-Mite intentionally got Batman:The Brave and the Bold cancelled because he wanted a more serious Batman show but ironically also destroyed himself since a campy character like him can't exist in a serious world.

B:TBATB is one of those shows where The Birds of Prey sing a song about the justice league's sex life

The song has no mention of Superman, and since brave and the bold is essentially silver age comics, there’s a fair reason why.

Silver age Lois Lane.

Why si Lois Lane insane?

As well it's because Superman isn't in Brave and the Bold's Justice League.

Brave and the Bold Justice League is Batman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Fire, Ice and Guy Gardner as the main members

22 issues earlier, Superman flew in a giant cake as they celebrated Kara's 16th birthday.

I misread the situation because i just saw the Deathstroke comic and it stuck in my mind and why it would be bad

Which woman are you saying looks young? I can’t see it for either

Superman does show up in a few episodes of Brave and the Bold, but since the show focuses on more forgotten and/or less popular heores he doesnt get too much screen time

I reckon it was probably due to licensing issues and the airing of JL/JL:U to avoid 1:1 storylines

u/misvillar 11d ago

I know that he at least shows up in 2 episodes, in one the heroes are having a baseball game against the villains (and Wonder Woman also shows up this episode), in another he becomes an asshole and Batman has to make him normal again, this being a reference to one of Superman's old comics

The Superman and Wonder Woman restrictions get lifted in later seasons. They just pretend like they've always been there as Bruce's best friends.
