While at Comic Con, I got the chance to interview the people behind the Cartoon Network's hit: "Batman: Brave and the Bold".  Followers of the site know I've been a fan of the show since it began.  There will be a full interview coming soon, but for now, the news.  Based on two interview snippets, one sanctioned, and the other ... not so much ... I was able to gleam the fact that Adam West will be voicing Batman in next season's B & B. More after the jump:

James Tucker pointed out that they will be adapting some comic stories for next season. "There's a story where Batman finds out that his dad actually wore the Batman costume before him."

Tucker is referring to a classic story called the Untold Legend of Batman.  In it, Bruce finds out that his father Thomas Wayne actually fought mobsters while dressed as a batman - because Thomas was at a costume party, but still.  When asked about the casting of Thomas Wayne, Tucker deflected.

But, when interviewing another member of the creative team (who shall remain nameless), I learned who would be voicing the father of the Bat.

"Julie Newmar is playing Martha Wayne, and playing Bruce's father Thomas Wayne will be Adam West!  I think they're VERY appropriate parents for Batman...  I should probably NOT be revealing this."

Put these two pieces together and we have Adam West reprising his role as Batman for next season's Batman: Brave and the Bold!
