Batman The Animated Series
So I just recently picked up the complete series on Blu Ray....and goddamn I forgot how good this series was.
It's the best Batman interpretation in any medium and the upgrades they did with this for BR are amazing, looks and sounds out of this world. I loved this cartoon as a kid but had forgot so much about it and watching it again makes me appreciate how good it was. The storytelling is top notch, rarely a bad episode, and one of the few cartoons that both children and adults can enjoy. So what's everyone else's feelings on this? Stories, favorite episodes, thoughts? BTW if you have the $$ and are a fan of this show, the Special Edition set is a no brainer...comes with 2 movies as well as the entire run, some cool special features and interviews, etc. and you get a digital code for it as well. |
Did you buy it online?

Great cartoon. It's amazing how much story they could cram into a little over 20 minutes. Fantastic voice casting. Best version of Batman, imo.
|
Heart of Ice is one of the best episodes of TV period...cartoon or not.
So good. |
They had it on Amazon Prime a few months ago so I was re-watching it before bed every night. It’s dark, literally and figuratively- it’s a great show to fall asleep to.
I didn’t get a chance to make it all the way through so I’m going to have to do that soon. I’ve actually been re-watching the X-Men animated series from the 90’s. The nostalgia is insane. I figure I’ll finish X-Men, then go through Batman, then Gargoyles and finally the Spider-Man animated series. |

I'm not up on modern kids shows, but has there ever been a cartoon that comes close to the high quality writing, voice acting, and music of TAS?
Batman Beyond was pretty damn good too, imo. |
I'm on season 3 of the X-Men Animated series and have BTA along with Justice League Unlimited queued up next. Good shit.
I've also got the original Thundercats but gotta wait until the wife gets time as she because she was a huge fan as a kid as well. |
X-Men is great if you can get past the 90's cheesiness. The costumes are awesome and they really did a great job of hitting nearly every classic X-Men storyline.
Batman is incredible too. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's voice acting is second to none. |

One of my favorite shows ever. Amazing how well it holds up even today. Its a real work of art. Even though it was still great, I didnt care for a lot of the redesign choices they made when it changed to "The New Batman Adventures".
My favorite episode is possibly Perchance to Dream. I also like Almost Got Im, Two-Face parts 1&2, Second Chance, Heart of Ice, Mad as a Hatter. Hell way too many to list. |
Two-Face 1&2 is right up there for me as well...Beware The Grey Ghost too.
Like you said, too many to list. |
Also can't forget the continuation of this series, "The New Batman Adventures," which had "Over the Edge" and an episode where Harley Quinn emerges from a giant cream pie for Joker, and he couldn't care less.

Is this the old skool cartoon from the 90's?
Loved that shit...grew up watching that before/after school. |
I also like the Avengers Assemble cartoon series now.
They kind of keep some of the current character arcs. |
Almost Got 'Im has to be the one where all the villains are telling the story of the closest they were to catching the Bat around the poker table, right? That's a great one.
I always loved On Leather Wings. The Man-Bat scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Help me remember: there was one episode where Batman was working with some evilish dude for some reason. The evilish dude had a brutish bodyguard of sorts who was being a real dick to Batman. For instance, he like pushed Batman out of the way once and Bats is like "alright, that's strike 1". Then he keeps going up to strike 3 where he just unloads on this dude. Is that from Batman the animated series or maybe I'm misremembering and that's from Justice League? |

I started collecting the DC Collectibles line of Animated Series figures a couple years ago. I need to start getting the ones I'm missing. They have several more coming out this year including Grey Ghost.

God i love justice league unlimited. Also I'm a flash collector i have jay garrick. I need barry wally and bart!
|
The Superman animated series is pretty good too. Not as dark obviously but it's the same style of animation as the Batman series. Eventually they combined the 2 shows and then did the Justice League after that.
|
Give me back my Young Justice
|
It is a great series but I prefer Batman the Brave and the Bold.

And far as I can tell the previous cast is back and some new people. Only 2 missing are Tim Curry as that news guy godfrey (he had a stroke and can't voice act) and miguel Ferrer as Vandall Savage (passed away). Both have new voice actors. Love the app so far. |
