QHow is the show structured? Full-length episodes, two or more shorts, or multple-episode story arcs?
AProducer James Tucker explained the unique structure of a typical Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode at comics news site Comic Book Resources: "[In each episode] there's a teaser the teaser is a stand-alone, mini-episode of Batman teaming up with a character," Tucker explained. "Then we'll run the main title, and after the main title, that's the main episode. And the main episode has nothing to do with the teaser for the most part. Some have a little trickle over, but for the most part the teasers are little three-minute episodes in and of themselves."Episode director Ben Jones had more to say to Comic Book Resources in a later story: As for whether or not "Batman: The Brave & The Bold" will feature long-running plots and stories worked out by the team as a whole, Jones finished by saying that even though the single-episode story style is a major influence on the show, viewers who stick with "Batman: The Brave & The Bold" week in, week out will get some different kinds of continuity."There's one two-parter, but aside from that, there's not a long continuing arc for the story as a whole," he said. "Individual guest stars--Blue Beetle most of all--when they return, they grow from their previous appearances as characters. Theres a little bit of personal character continuity, but theres not a lot of overall story continuity. There's a bit of an arc in the second season, but I don't know how much I can say about that."
