    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE BRAND AND THE BOLD: CARTOON NETWORK’S BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD AS COMICS-LICENSED CHILDREN’S TELEVISION A Thesis in Media Studies by Zachary Roman © 2011 Zachary Roman Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2011 The thesis of Zachary Roman was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Barbara Bird Associate Professor of Communications Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications Marie Hardin Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This thesis critiques the animated children's television program, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, debuting in 2008 on Cartoon Network, as a synergistic corporate commodity. In the program, Batman teams up with a guest hero who helps him vanquish the villain. The commodity and commercial functions of this premise is to introduce and promote secondary licensed brands -- the “guest heroes” and “guest villains” -- for synergistic profit based on the current popularity with the program’s anchor brand, Batman. Given Time Warner's ownership of multiple media outlets including Warner Bros. Animation, DC Comics and Cartoon Network, the program serves as a bridge text to usher young consumers of Time Warner content into becoming long-term consumers of more adult iterations of many of these same characters and licenses. The thesis contextualizes the program in the larger scholarly literature of the nature of media licensing, the history of commercialism on children's television, comic books and children's media licensing.
