When the October solicitations for DC Comics came out last month, fans of all-ages comics were distressed when copy indicated that #22 would be the “final issue” for Johnny DC title Batman: The Brave and the Bold, based on the current Cartoon Network series of the same name.
When asked about it at Comic-Con International: San Diego, though, DC representatives indicated that readers shouldn’t sweat the situation too much, and now we know why: as announced Wednesday on official DC Universe blog The Source, November sees the launch of a new Batman: The Brave and the Bold series, appropriately titled The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold, complete with a new creative team: writer Sholly Fisch, well familiar to DC Kids fans for his work on DC Super Friends, and artist Rick Burchett — himself a veteran of comic book adaptations of Batman cartoons, having worked extensively on The Batman and Robin Adventures and Batman: The Gotham Adventures, picking up a couple of Eisners in the process.
As you can see from the cover of #1 here, it looks like a certain fellow DC icon that hasn’t yet (fully) appeared on the Brave and the Bold animated series will be showing up here. (Hint: It’s Superman.)

I just farted… and the beginning of a turd started to come out! SEND HELP NOW.

Wait, what’s the point of relaunching the title?
August 12th, 2010 at 12:30 am
I’m just hoping this means we’ll finally see Superman on the tv series.

Palmer, DC’s of the idea (not the worst mind you, I can see their point) that books meant for kids shouldn’t have long number runs cause kids don’t quite get that like we do.
So Johnny DC usually goes through a relaunching process of the books on and off. They’ve said they’re doing the same thing for Billy Batson as well.

really nice sharing thanks..!!

Looney Tunes is nearing issue #200, though. (Not trying to contradict what you said, Evan, since I think you’re right — I just think it’s crazy that book has such a high numbering!)

Would be nice to see WONDER WOMAN in this one!!!
August 12th, 2010 at 6:01 am
Wonder Woman was in the first series (of the book, not the show.)

Get an on-going Johnny DC Aquaman series out there and I’ll buy it.

Great artist – who deserves to be on a higher profile. Not sure about the writer. I don’t think I saw a single good review of his work on Super Friends.
August 12th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Yeah, it was such a turn off when I was a kid to see that Spiderman was in the 100s, and Detective and Action were much higher. Definitely made me think twice before buying those books, because issue number is sooo important.

The high numbering logic is mostly a myth propagated by the publishers themselves. It provides an easy out for the laziness of their marketing departments whenever there’s a creative team change on books that aren’t expected to do all that well anyway.

Hopefully Rick Burchett will bring back some of that spirit from The Batman Adventures, where he worked with the late great Mike Parobeck (God rest his soul, I still miss him). I still consider that title as one of the greatest Batman books ever. No joke.

I enjoy the animated series, and the last book. Hope to see it continue to go wide on the entire DCU. Let’s see Uncle Sam, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, Faceless Hunter from Saturn, Bumblebee, Stargirl, Manhunter, Batgirl (Barbara), Black Lightning, and more!

The entire crappy DC Universe line should be in this format — cartoonish and aimed for kids only. It’s perfect for their childish characters. Once they graduate from baby stuff the kids can get to where the REALLY cool characters and stories are: MARVEL.

Hahahaha, “My nerdy moneysink for manchildren are more mature than your nerdy money sink for manchildren.”

Albert I get what you’re saying. But since they just did it for Scooby Doo, they might do the relaunch for Looney Tunes with the new cartoon coming out.
Or maybe because its Bugs and company, they’re allowed to maintain long numbers from the higher ups. Who knows?

I love the Brave and the Bold toon….but I’m wondering…how many kids actually buy the Johnny DC comics…I thought manga was still big with the 13 and under crowd

I’m happy to see this title continuing, but I do hope that DC will try to get their kids books out into more mainstream market areas like supermarkets. Unless kids have comic reading parents they probably don’t frequent a comic book shop. But all in all it’s good news and I will probably pick up a few copies for my friend’s children who might enjoy it.
