Newsarama has recently spoken with Batman: The Brave and the Bold producer James Tucker on the current success of the series and where it's headed. A couple of cool announcements are mentioned including an upcoming musical, which hopes to become a fan favorite.

NEWSARAMA: So do you feel you have everything going smoothly?

JT: Oh yeah. Right now we’re going into the latter half of the first season and it’s really a well-oiled machine. For a first season, that’s very rare when you can say that.

NEWSARAMA: Reaction has been very positive. How does that make you feel?

JT: Validated. I’m glad people are getting the tone and are not really too up in arms about it. I give full credit to The Dark Knight for that. If that hadn’t been such a pitch black version of Batman, I wouldn’t have been able to get away with my lighthearted version. So I’m really thankful to Nolan and Bale, all those guys who made that movie for what they did. With my version, people can finally realize that Batman doesn’t have to be so dark and brooding all the time.

NEWSARAMA: And a Batman musical?

JT: Yeah. When I was on Justice League with Bruce Timm, we were always toying around with doing a musical special, especially after we saw the Buffy musical. On Legion I had hoped we had gotten a third season because I knew a musical for that would have been perfect.

So, finally, me and Michael Jelenic, who likes musicals too, decided this was the show we were going to do it on. So we’ve done it. I’ll let you know how it turned out when it comes back from overseas. But the music alone is a lot of fun.

NEWSARAMA: Who wrote the music?

JT: Michael and I actually did the lyrics. Then the dynamic music partners, Kris Carter, Michael McQuistion, and Lolita Ritmanis did the music. These guys have done a lot of scoring for our shows and they are just terrific.

NEWSARAMA: Andy Sturmer?

JT: No. Andy just did the title music. He doesn’t do the scoring for the show. It’s all top notch. It’s not corny. It’s really full-out, serious music.
