BRAVE AND BOLD: NPH vs. Bats Again?

Anyone who has watched BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD knows 2 things.

One, they’ve found a way to make Aquaman cool, as this is far and away the best representation of Arthur I’ve ever seen.

And secondly, they make old, obscure characters interesting in a style, that while being directing towards kids, is still entertaining to adults…or at least me.

Well recently they did an episode that featured an original character. This character, Music Meister, was voiced by the great Barney Stinson, err…Neil Patrick Harris. This character seemed to be a combination of 3 different villains from the comics, at least according to Wiki:

Although he was created specifically for the series, he draws some parallels to The Fiddler. His ability to make his victims dance as well also recalls the The Maestro. He also resembles a comic villain named Johnny Dune, who appeared in only one issue of Justice League of America, able to control listeners with his voice.

Well IGN’s Eric Goldman interviewed NPH recently and asked him about his turn as a Batman villain.

"Those gigs come so randomly, you get an email or a phone call saying, ‘Would you do this voice on this show?’ And that happened a good year and a half ago. You say, ‘Sure!’ and they say, ‘Great! How about Monday at 4?’ You go in, you sing and you’re done. I mean I was out in two hours.’ So I love that a year later, Comic-Con loves it, and then it ends up being a thing. The turnaround time for those are so extensive that I think if they’re thinking about a sequel, they still have to write it, get approval for it…We probably wouldn’t see it until 2017 at the
rate they do those things."

When asked if he’d like to reprise his role as the Music Meister: "Yeah, sure I would! It was great fun."

So, NPH enjoyed his experience and is open to returning to do it again. That’s good news to me.

I realize there isn’t really much of a news story here, it’s more me probing to see what you guys think of Brave and the Bold. Below I’ve included the opening of that episode if you want to check it out.

So sound off below, fan of the show or no?
