Gameplay

Batman: The Brave and The Bold – The Videogame is a side-scroller beat 'em up/platformer with 2D animated visuals based on those of the cartoon series. Each level is presented as an episode and features Batman teaming up with one of several superheroes, including Plastic Man, Robin, Green Arrow and Aquaman, to stop various supervillains. The Wii version can be played as a two-player game with two players controlling each hero, or as a one-player game with the player teamed with computer AI, with drop-in/out play. Players have access to several gadgets and can also summon another Jump-In Hero to perform a powerful attack.[1]

The Nintendo DS version is a single-player game in which the player switches control between Batman and the available hero, using each of their abilities to progress through each level. Players with both versions of the game can control Bat-Mite in the Wii version via Nintendo DS connectivity.[1]

Development

The video game was developed by WayForward Technologies and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
