B:TB&tB season 2 episode 6 "Clash of the Metal Men" Directed by Michael Goguen.

Occasionally a section would pop up in an episode of Brave and Bold that frankly, there was not enough time to paint every background. When this happened, I would do a color script like this one for overseas to follow.

Since we already had a black and white film in previous episode, I wanted to give this section a look as if it was at one time a color film, but the warm colors have been washed out from sunlight and heavy use.

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 5

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 5 "The Golden Age of Justice!" Directed by Michael Chang.

Well this a change of pace for B:TB&tB's usual color palette, huh? In this episode we go back to the days of the Justice Society of America in WWII (back before color was invented). Notice that the JSA logo is a subtle nod to the old DC comics logo.

The black and white scenes that these backgrounds are from are old news reel footage within the episode. There are a series of flashbacks in the episode and color is introduced gradually in them as the flashbacks get closer to present day.

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 4 "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!" Directed by Ben Jones.

These were from the teaser featuring "Enemy Ace". The background on the left was sent without the biplanes on it and was just a setup to see what it would look like with the props on it.

A fan favorite episode and a favorite of mine as well. This episode Batman is hardly in it and it focused on Aquaman and his family touring across the country in a Winnebago (think "National Lampoon's Vacation" with super heroics).

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 3

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 3 "Death Race to Oblivion!" directed by Michael Goguen.

Mongul returns in this episode with Brave and Bold's nod to Hanna-Barbera's "Wacky Races" show.

This ended up being Woozy Winks debut since the episode were shown out of order. He originally first appeared in episode 1 of season 2.

Whenever possible, we would come up with a color theme for a character's technology. Whether it's their weapons, vehicles, buildings, or even laser fire, the colors would remain consistent. Notice that the colors of Mongul's "War Planet" tie in to the colors of his original "War World" from an earlier episode:
