WayForward captures the look of the show perfectly, from the phenomenal sprite work on Batman, his partners, and the outrageous villains he comes across to the bizarre locals you’ll visit like Science Island and the underwater world of Atlantis. Their work on 2-D games has been eye-catching since they caught everyone’s attention with their break-out hit Shantae on the Game Boy Color in 2002 and they’ve only gotten better over the years. I can’t think of a better developer working today to work on a video game based on an animated series than WayForward. Though on inferior technology, the DS version of TBATB trumps the stunning looking game on the superior Wii hardware and is a game that Batman and classic 16-bit action game fans should not miss. WB Games and developer WayForward returned to the Batman animated world in a big way in 2010 with the release of Batman: The Brave and the Bold on both the Nintendo Wii and DS, offering two unique experiences on a similar premise. Where there’s a cartoon, there’s inevitably a video game or two to capitalize on its popularity and Batman had them in spades, however the well had seemingly dried up after the lukewarm at best reception of 2003’s Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu from Ubisoft. Batman has been featured in an animated series, whether his own or part of an ensemble, since Batman: The Animated Series debuted in the early 90’s.
