April 08, 2008 by James Harvey

Ben Jones, ones of the directors for the upcoming Batman: The Brave and The Bold animated series, briefly talked to The World's Finest about the upcoming cartoon.

"I wouldn’t mind trying to allay some of the fears expressed on various message boards," Jones told The World's Finest. "First, there will be an element of comedy, but that doesn’t mean that we’re skimping on the action.

"We’re trying as hard as we can to make sure the action will be as amazing and exciting as any previous incarnation of the Batman," he added.

Jones wanted to assure fans that the series won't be making fun of Batman, but will instead tell stories about him in a slightly lighter style.

"Character-wise, Batman is still the same gruff perfectionist that he’s been for the last twenty-five or so years," says Jones. "Everyone here is a Batman fan too, so we want to do right by him."

While he doesn't want to spill any specific details just yet, Jones says that fans will be excited about both the approach the show will take and vast amount of characters that will be appearing.

"I’m excited about what we’re doing on the show," says Jones. "The geek in me wants to spend all day going on and on about how cool it is to have certain characters or actors in the show, or some of the cool stories we’re doing."
