The Dark Knight’s a little too angsty (not to mention violent) for comic-loving kids. So what’s an underage Batfan to do? Cartoon Network’s hoping they’ll tune in Friday nights this fall (parents in tow) for the new animated series, Batman: The Brave and the Bold. According to the sci-fi folks at io9 reporting from Comic-Con this weekend, it’s “the goofiest, most kid-friendly Batman since the 1970s.”

Don’t expect the usual small screen setup. This Batman is sans Alfred. He’s Commissioner Gordon-less. And he’s not even in Gotham. The show stays true to the old “Brave and the Bold” comics, in which Batman’s constantly switching up locations and sharing quips with new hero sidekicks. (Look for Green Arrow, Aquaman and Blue Beetle to make appearances.)

We’re not saying this looks like a show which will teach your kids how to play the piano or get them all hyped up about algebra, but kicky, action-packed fun? We’re guessing yes.

Catch a glimpse here.
