Staton | Black Canary & Music Meister from The Brave and Bold animated series

How does a father find an on ramp to superheroes for his daughter?

About a year after Molly was born, the animated series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” hit the air. By the time she could speak full sentences, Molly could name most of the characters in the DC Universe.

As brilliant as “Batman: The Animated Series” is, "The Brave and the Bold” is its perfect opposite; fun for both adults and kids. But the standout (musical) episode was "Mayhem of the Music Meister!” in Season 1 - nominated for an Emmy Award, and rightly so. That episode has been watched, and sung to, in our home for years; from toddler to teen.

In Baltimore last year, I showed Joe YouTube clips of Molly's favorite part of the episode. I told him I could think of no better artist to do this for me and Molly (see Joe's work on the award-winning "Batman & Superman Adventures” comic).

I picked this up Joe at C2E2 last week. He did not disappoint.

Here, the Music Meister has Black Canary in a musical trance. But fear not, Batman is on the way.
