Warner Brothers' Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) remains a striking, stylized program that helped to revitalize the familiar comic book hero. Drawing on such diverse influences as Frank Miller's graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, the Fleischers' Superman cartoons of the early '40s, and contemporary Japanese animation, the filmmakers stress interesting designs and cinematography. The Caped Crusader prowls a sinister, Art Deco-styled world of tall verticals, sharp angles, silhouettes, searchlights, and grid-like shadows cast by window frames. Its visual pizzazz eclipses Filmation's pallid kidvid, The Batman/Superman Hour (CBS, 1968), which ran off and on in various incarnations through 1981. Many of the same artists worked on the Batman animated features (e.g., Mask of the Phantasm (1993), Batman Beyond--The Movie (1999)), which display similar strengths and weaknesses.
Ironically, Batman: The Animated Series looks better in stills than it does in motion. The artists fail to stylize the movements of the characters to match the dramatic settings, as Genndy Tartakovsky and his crew did in Samurai Jack. Batman uses sophisticated computers to combat the well-known villains--the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman--as well as some less celebrated baddies: Manbat, Clayface, The Mad Hatter. The bad guys cram a lot of plotting and scheming into each 22-minute episode, but the violence is kept to a broadcast standards minimum.
The Dark Knight's First Knight easily ranks as the most interesting of the extras. Producers Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski recount the genesis of the series, and show their mini-pilot, which is more violent and more fully animated. If the complete episodes had matched the pilot, the series would have been much more exciting. (Unrated, suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, mild grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon

- The reason I love comicsThis show is the defining example of what Batman is and the universe he lives in. The animation, the voice acting, storylines, and music all flow so masterfully you feel totally worn out by the end of a episode (which are only thirty minutes long!)
This is the show that got me hooked in to the world of comics ans superheros and I will be a lifelong fan of this series.

- "The Batman/Superman Hour?" What's up with that?I originally downloaded this season on iTunes, so I would assume that the DVD set is exactly the same. This is by far the best treatment of Batman in animated form- but why did Warner Brothers have to include the lame "Batman/Superman Hour" intro on this set? Please tell me the other three seasons (or the DVD versions) didn't do this! If I'd have known that the digital downloads didn't include the original Batman Intro (which really set the tone for how cool this animated series was), I wouldn't ... Read More

- Sometimes simple is betterClassic Batman! Simple but well done! Good story lines. Has a 1940s/50s feel (cars, bad guys in suits, etc...) Watching every episode with my 3.5 yr old and so far no issues with content.

- A childhood favoriteOne of my favorite shows growing up looks a little different now that im not 10 years old anymore, but it still holds a special place in my heart, and now that im a little older and wiser, I can appreciate how great this show really is. One of the best takes on Batman ever done in film or TV (cartoon or otherwise) in my opinion, and a great series to collect
