One thing viewers have seen before is Batman interacting with other DC mainstays like Superman and Green Lantern, and although Tucker admitted there was a heavy interest in including some of those heavies in “Brave & The Bold,” he said the little heroes further down the list opened up bigger and better possibilities. “The problem with those A-list characters is that they pull focus from Batman. The idea behind this show is that ‘Yeah, it’s a team-up show, but the team ups have to bring out some element of Batman’s personality that we haven’t seen,’” he said. “A character equated to an environment Batman’s in, which means that if it’s Aquaman, he’s probably going to be in Atlantis dealing with something. The new Blue Beetle has a space flavor, so that puts us in outer space. The Demon means we’re doing a more supernatural story. And I think the secondary characters tend to be a bit more interesting because there are things we don’t know about them. Everyone knows about Superman. Everyone thinks they know about Wonder Woman, and eventually we’ll get to those characters, but we wanted this to be a show where it wasn’t a by the numbers episode every time.”

What viewers will be getting in place of a regular cast is twice the amount of guest stars per episode thanks to the program’s unique formatting. “[In each episode] there’s a teaser — the teaser is a stand-alone, mini-episode of Batman teaming up with a character,” Tucker explained. “Then we’ll run the main title, and after the main title, that’s the main episode. And the main episode has nothing to do with the teaser for the most part. Some have a little trickle over, but for the most part the teasers are little three-minute episodes in and of themselves.
