i think it should be back since it had extreme ratings but i doubt since the brave and the bold will air soon what u guy's think!:shrug:
They probably just aired it because it was a Halloween episode and because a movie of The Batman just aired. There was also no NEXT bump, meaning we won't see it much.

Cartoon Network only aired the episode because they still had a half hour to fill after the Batman VS Dracula movie ended. And if The Batman's ratings were really so "extreme", CN would never have dropped it in the first place. And like you said yourself, a CN original series starring Batman, The Brave and the Bold will be airing on CN next month, so there's no real real reason for CN to bring back The Batman.
What happened to ending questions with a question mark? Why don't people like to hit the Shift key?

No it was just the halloween episode "Grundy's Night" airing after the Batman Movie, understandable. The Batman had good ratings on Kids WB but it's Cartoon Network ratings were never that good.

The Batman's not back on CN; it was probably a one time only thing to fill up space after Batman VS. Dracula and they wanted to air something relevant. Heck, they didn't even go to the trouble of making a Nood for it. So the answer is no, they're not bringing The Batman back.

nah, it'd be too confusing probably for younger viewers to air 2 series with the same characters. I mean, Ben 10 basically all but vanished when Alien Force came out

Actually, I think Brave and Bold makes it MORE likely that The Batman will air on CN again. They might try to promote it by airing other Batman related stuff like The Batman and some BTAS movies again (hopefully this time they'll actually air Mask of the Phantasm).

Ben 10 still airs every weekday at 10:30. The difference between Ben 10 and Alien Force airing compared to The Batman and Brave and the Bold airing is that kids recognize the fact that Ben 10 takes place before Alien Force. As for The Batman and Brave and the Bold, the confusion lies because the characters look and sound drastically different, and have generally different experiences. They lie in two completely different continuities and so one show could do the same thing as in the other show, but in a very different way and kids would get really confused.

While I can see a The Batman marathon airing on November 14th to hype up the premiere of Brave and the Bold, I don't really see The Batman coming back for regular airings. :shrug:

The Batman didn't do so hot ratings-wise when CN ran it the first time, so I don't see it returning to regular rotation on CN anytime soon. (Heck, the last time WB/Turner aired the show on a daily basis, it was on Boomerang, not CN.)

By extreme, you must mean extremely bad.

Yeah, that new to CN episode of The Batman was there because it was a Halloween episode and they wanted to tie that in with The Batman vs. Dracula movie they had just finish airing. The Brave and the Bold, the newest Batman series, starts next month so it isn't like a long wait before that series starts. Besides that, The Batman never did well in ratings on CN. If you want to see The Batman, you could easily rent or buy the DVD season sets.
