Was watching a bunch of BRAVE AND THE BOLD and you know what? Diedrich Bader did a great job. He never gets mention, behind Kevin Conroy shadow…BUT…I couldn’t imagine BRAVE AND THE BOLD with out Bader’s voice.
The cartoon series was aimed at my youth and very much a tribute to Bob Hane y and the legendary Batman artist; Jim Aparo.
And the “Mayham the Music Miester” is with out doubt the best DC COMICS ’ themed musical!!!
I don’t think he’s underrated. His voice acting in Batman: BatB has been highly regarded as a great interpretation of Bat’s character especially for the campy style of that show.
Kevin Conroy is by far the best dark & serious Batman and I don’t think anyone can match him on that level.
Likewise, Dietrich Bader’s version is a lighter tribute to the Golden / Silver age of Batman. I don’t think anyone can match performance.
They shouldn’t be compared
Bader is perfect for Batman: Brave and the Bold. His deadpan delivery evokes wonderful memories of the great Adam West. And “The Music Meister” is one of the best-animated episode of any show–ever!
