It was a very hand-in-hand collaboration, and we’re so grateful to have had that level of studio involvement. WB Animation also created our animated cutscenes, which bookend each game episode.
We worked closely with WB Animation on the story, character models, environments, and got pretty much the entire cast from the show to do our voice acting. Since we pitched this game as a “playable cartoon” more than a traditional video game adaptation, it was essential to work with the show’s staff to ensure the game really felt like an extension of the show.
WayForward has done a number of superhero games, but typically we’re just given some pointers and left to our own devices. ND: How did working with the creators of the cartoon affect your traditional game development process?Īdam: It was pretty incredible. I also never thought that Batman singing would make tears of awesome burst out of my face. “Mayhem of the Music Meister” was so epic! I never thought that Batman would sing. It’s a celebration of the lesser-known heroes, and pulls from all DC Comics (not just the Batman ones). But once you’ve seen a few episodes, it’s hard not to love it. Not the case.Īdam Tierney: My initial reaction to the show is similar to what I think most die-hard Batman fans felt, which is “that’s not my Batman.” It was such a departure from the dark, cold world that Bruce Timm and Chris Nolan had created over the past few decades. At first I thought we were doing another typical Batman installment, or something closer to Batman: The Animated Series. We were honored when WB came to us with one of its most prominent and time-honored brands, confident that we’d craft a quality game for them. Matt Bozon: We’ve done Batman products before, and have worked extensively with WB, and yes, are big fanboys on top of that. Nintendojo: How did WayForward get involved with the “Batman: The Brave and The Bold” license? Are members of the staff big fans of the cartoon show, or did Warner Bros. We talked to Adam Tierney, director of Batman: The Brave and The Bold for Wii, Sean Valesco, director of Batman: The Brave and The Bold for DS, and Matt Bozon, creative director of WayForward, through an e-mail interview to find out more about Batman’s cartoon-to-game adaption.

And now, the fun of the series will be hitting Nintendo consoles thanks to WayForward and Warner Bros. But The Caped Crusader needs a good laugh every once in awhile, too.Ĭartoon Network’s Batman: The Brave and The Bold scratches that comedic itch rather well. Batman has shown his darker side over the past few years, courtesy of Christopher Nolan and his movies Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
