Coming in just a few days on September 7th, Batman: The Brave and The Bold brings its unique, lighthearted and child friendly take on the dark knight to the Nintendo Wii and DS. So we all know what that means. It’s time for a launch trailer.

But Batman: The Brave and The Bold doesn’t give just any launch trailer filled with the stereotypical gameplay footage along with cutscenes from the game. Instead, we are treated to a miniaturized episode of the show which goes along well with the setup of the game itself.

Just like the game is meant to be played in short easily digestible episodes, so is this trailer which features an easily understandable tale of Bat-Mite and how he fits into the game’s universe. The fifth dimensional uber-nerd Bat-Mite is at home playing his game and can’t seem to handle it on his own before calling in the help of not one but two special friends, just like the game.

Check out the trailer below and check back right here for a possible review of Batman: The Brave and the Bold in the near future!

Even though Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment didn’t make the big announcement about Batman: Arkham City until after Comic Con, they did make sure to let us get our hands on a more kid friendly Batman title. Based off the animated series of the same name, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which is coming to both the Wii and Nintendo DS, takes classic 2D side scrolling gameplay mixed with hand drawn animations to present a mix of modern and retro to the screen.

Each level is built as a cooperative experience pairing up Batman with either Robin, Aquaman, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Plastic Man or the Red Tornado facing off against the schemes of any of the game’s various villains. These villains include Catman, Catwoman, Gorilla Grodd, Mongul, Starro and Two-Face. Like the comic book and the show, Batman: The Brave and The Bold focuses on the idea of Batman teaming up with another hero to take on some villainous force he would not have been able to take on solo. Each level features a different hero and drop-in, drop-out gameplay allowing for players to hop in even mid-level.

The game contains a full five minutes of original animation created by WB Animation, the same team that works on the Batman: The Brave and The Bold series. These are seen throughout any of the game’s 2D cutscenes. Everything in the game is hand drawn before being digitally scanned and then animated. Because of this production style, the game contains around 15,000 individual animations. The game definitely stands out amongst all of the other 3D computer animated titles currently being shown.
