Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKevin Conroy is the first person in animation to use two distinct voices to portray Bruce Wayne and Batman, inspired by Michael Keaton's performance in Batman (1989), the first to do so.
- GoofsThis series' Batmobile, with its extremely long hood, would be totally impractical for the needs of a crime-fighter, such as weaving through traffic and making tight turns at corners.
- Crazy creditsDespite being invariably referred to as "Batman--The Animated Series" (until the changes in title, tone, and additional screen time for Robin for the second season), the series had NO on-screen title.
- Alternate versionsWhen "The New Batman Adventures" uses this show's intro instead of that of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures," the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo appears before the Warner Bros. Animation logo.

Featured review
The best superhero cartoon ever.
This is every thing an adventure show should be. It has action, drama, comedy, tragedy and a truly Gothic feel (fitting that it takes place in Gotham). The interesting thing about the Batman character is that the only reason he becomes Bruce Wayne is to make enough money to fund his Batman work and to help the less fortunate. He's such a tragic character as he's given up a personal life for his parents dream. The stories are wonderfully intelligent and fun at the same time. There are very few poor episodes in this series (but note that their are some). Even lame villains like the Clock King and Mr. Freeze are made engaging and exciting. Ignore the movies and watch the series. Heck, at times it can even be much more realistic than the movies (like in "I am the Night") Some recommended episodes are: "Almost Got 'Im" (a poker game where Bat-Villain recount how they almost killed him), "His Silicon Soul" (a robot clone of Batman is a little too much like Batman too do a computers evil bidding) and "the Man who killed Batman" (in which a small time crook has seemingly killed Batman... by accident)
