Either way, I’m glad people got to see some of it at least, but I also wish we could have included the whole short. The Batgirl sequence had already been done for a while before we even started – again, I don’t know whether it was James or Michael’s idea to include it. The hardest part of that episode was just pulling back on wild tangents and keeping the focus of the episode on the future of the show and Batman’s reaction to it – when you have a character like Bat-Mite, who can do anything, it can be tempting to go off in strange directions, but Mitefall had a lot of stuff going on story-wise that had to take precedence. WF: Can you run us through your directing process for 'Mitefall?' What was your outset in putting this episode together? Was it a difficult episode to put together, given the plot? How did you find and insert the Batgirl CGI sequence?īJ: I heard about the planned ending for the series near the beginning of season three, and I thought then that it was brilliant (I don’t know if it was James Tucker or Michael Jelenic’s idea). Let's start things off on a different step - what was the most valuable lesson you've learned from working on Batman: The Brave and The Bold?īen Jones: Aside from a bunch of technical animation stuff, and a smattering of comic book history, just a confirmation of the old truism that every character is somebody’s favourite – It seemed like no matter how deep we dug into the DC catalogue, someone somewhere would get excited to see them on TV. To commemorate the Batman: The Brave and The Bold series finale episode "Mitefall!," The World's Finest caught up with Director Ben Jones to both discuss the final episode and also look back at the impact the series has left behind.
