Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame is a Template:Vgy video game based on the comic book character Batman and the television cartoon series Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It was developed by WayForward Technologies and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was released on September 7, 2010, for the Wii and Nintendo DS.

Gameplay

Batman: The Brave and The Bold – The Videogame is a side-scroller beat 'em up/platformer and, like the cartoon the video game is based on, is in 2D animation. The levels are created as episodes, each with Batman teaming up with one of several superheroes, including Plastic Man, Robin, Green Arrow, and Aquaman, to stop one of the various DC villains. The Wii version sees up to two players controlling each hero, or one player teamed with computer AI, with drop-in/out play. Players have access to several gadgets and can also summon another hero to perform a powerful attack. The Nintendo DS version is a single player game in which the player switches control between Batman and the available hero, using their abilities to progress through the level. Players with both versions of the game can control Bat-Mite in the Wii version via Nintendo DS connectivity.[1]
