The early-'90s Batman series was probably the best animated superhero show ever, mixing stylish animation with a dark tone appropriate for the Dark Knight. The second volume, comprising four discs of 28 episodes and vastly preferable to the many single-disc releases, features familiar characters the Joker, Catwoman, the Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, as well as the first appearances of the Riddler, and Ra's Al Ghul and Talia. The episodes are highlighted by the Emmy-winning two-parter 'Robin's Reckoning,' which recounts the origin of the Boy Wonder and his chance for revenge years later. In 'Perchance to Dream,' Bruce Wayne finds his parents alive and another Batman patrolling Gotham City, the two-part 'Something' pits Batman against Miyazaki-styled robots, and Batman revisits the samurai training of his past in 'Night of the Ninja' and 'Day of the Samurai.' Give the series credit for not talking down to kids--Japanese characters spoke in Japanese with English subtitles, and one episode, 'Almost Got 'Im,' was styled after a '50s black-and-white variety show. It employed smart humor and characterization even to the point where it could let villains carry an episode. Certain stories were based on comic books, and the series involved comics veterans such as Denny O'Neil and Len Wein. Also camp-master Adam West appears as the voice of the Grey Ghost. --David Horiuchi

Rating: - I love this show
When I was a kid I would wake up on Saturday morning to watch BATMAN, and I loved it. Now that I'm an adult I love that I'm able to share this great and pioneering series with young people (and just sit and watch it myself). This was a cartoon that did not feel like a cartoon. Each show is like a small movie, and as the series got older the better the animation got, the better the acting got and the better the action an stories. Overall: great fun for kids of all ages!
Rating: - The original Dark Knight for children of the 90's
After the absolutely stunning run of action cartoons in the 80's, the 90's were suffering from a serious backlash against "violent" programming and there were no exciting cartoons left on the air.
That is until this absolute masterpiece of a cartoon series began airing in 1992. This series hit the ground running with astounding story-telling and a dynamic visual style that was brought off with a new animation technique that was developed specifically for this show.
Stylistically, the ... Read More
Rating: - The best animated show, featuring its best episode.
Batman the Animated series is probably the best animated show to be released which makes it a must own for adults and kids alike. This season especially since it includes "Almost got Im" which is the finest episode the show made. Plus the featurette on the voice actors is great. Buy this with confidence.
Rating: - Batman at His Best
Yes, I love the new Christopher Nolan movies. But I have to admit, this animated incarnation of Batman from the early nineties will always be the definitive version of the character for me. I readily admit I'm biased, as I grew up watching these shows, and seeing them today brings me back to a simpler time in my life. But even now, as an adult, I am amazed at how well the storytelling on display holds up over a decade later.
This set builds upon the solid foundation laid by the first ... Read More
Rating: - Adventures of the Dark Knight
This review focuses on Burton's Batman (Batman89, Batman Returns), Nolan's Batman (Batman Begins, the Dark Knight), and 1992 original Batman: The Animated Series. I'm excluding Schumacher's Batman (Batman Forever, Batman and Robin), the 1960's Batman series, and "The Batman", simply because I believe they are the weakest representations.
To be perfectly honest, I love Burton, Nolan, and BTAS equally. All three interpretations are so different, that they cannot be compared. And it is really ... Read More
