Batman: Brave and the Bold upcoming episode details
The Cartoon Network has released details on upcoming episodes of "Batman: Brave and the Bold":
May 8: "Night of the Huntress!"
"Blue Beetle develops a crush on the slightly older and far-more-dangerous femme fatale Huntress, but there is little time for love with Baby Face busting his gang out of prison for a major heist! Watch the crowd closely during the jailbreak sequence to see some favorite villains, including Pharaoh, Skeleton Keyes, Polecat Perkins and more!"
May 15: "Menace of the Conqueror Caveman!"
"31st Century Booster Gold travels back 100 centuries to join Batman and become a celebrity hero. In his quest for fame, he unwittingly enables the immortal tyrant Vandal Savage to carry out his nefarious plot of turning everyone into cavemen and taking over the world!"
May 22: "The Color of Revenge!"
"Batman and Robin team up again, but it's not like it always was -- there was a reason Robin left to go work on his own. As Crazy Quilt comes after Robin for revenge, all the dirty laundry comes out between the dynamic duo!"
May 29: "Legends of the Dark Mite!"
"Batman's biggest fan, BatMite, is also his biggest nightmare when the 5th dimensional imp pops up and in an effort to make Batman a better hero, throws Gotham City into chaos. Kidnapping the Dark Knight and traveling to the surreal 5th dimension, the adventure continues with references to many of the classic villains."
