One of my favorite things we did in season 2 was the opening title sequence that looked like a "Challengers of the Unknown" cartoon as if it was done by Hanna-Barbera in the late 60's/early 70's. The characters for this section were drawn by Lynell Forestal and Peter Girardi put the whole thing together. Peter even "aged" the film with little scratches and pops to look like it was lying around for a decade or two.

This is the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" background paint blog. I will be posting at least one background painting I did for each episode of the series in chronological order.

Here are a few more pieces for that same title sequence, as well as a video clip to see how it all came together:

B:TB&tB season 2 episode 1
B:TB&tB season 2 episode 1 Directed by Ben Jones.
O.K., on to season 2! Well, this is the first episode of season 2 according to our production order, but it wasn't the first one aired by Cartoon Network for whatever reason. I will be posting the backgrounds in production order.
We had some welcomed additions to the background crew in season 2, one of them being Fedja Jovanovic who drew Kite-Man's secret workshop (seen here).

Another Fedja designed background, Plastic Man's home. A monument of tacky if there ever was one. I made sure that the colors reflected that as well.

This was for the teaser for the episode, but was originally going to be the teaser for the "Music Meister" episode. Ultimately it had to be cut from the "Music Meister" episode because of time constraints, so it was used for this episode instead. Because of this shuffling, I think this is one of the few times we had Batman team up with the same character in both the teaser and the main episode.

"Batman: The Brave and the Bold" color crew mug
Alright, so now that I posted at least one background painting from every episode of season 1, I thought I'd post something different before we get in to season 2.
For Christmas in season 2 I had these mugs made for the color department and the directors I work with. Only 15 of these mugs were made.
Next week: paintings from season 2!

B:TB&tB episode 26
B:TB&tB episode 26 "Inside the Outsiders!" Directed by Michael Chang.
This was the last production episode of season 1, but not the last episode that was aired for season 1. I believe the last episode aired for season 1 was actually episode 24.
