For the most part - I quite enjoyed this animated, Batman, TV series from 1992. Yep. I really did.The 2-D animation was definitely top-notch and one could tell that there was certainly some real, mature thought put into the show's story-lines.But the thing that puzzled me about the Batman character (whose squared-off jawline was so sharp-edged that it could cut a brick of cheese) was that even though he was just an ordinary man, he was given some truly startling, super-human abilities.Anyway - My biggest beef of all here has to do with the Alfred character (Bruce Wayne's trusted manservant) who I found to be too much of a stuffy, insufferable, British bore (stereotype).(Oh - Well - At least Alfred's presence was so insignificant that it didn't ruin the rest of the show for me)

Batman the animated series is a very classic show. but its not for kids .it has some adult jokes. 2 girls are seen in there pajamas about to have supper its implied there lesbians. harley quinn pops out of a pie for the joker. and does a strip tease. its very vilonte. there's guns and machine guns. batman gets bloody cuts all over his body. harley quinn falls out a window and bleeds. the joker kills people with laughing gas. the joker straps a bomb with gas to his chest. the joker drops a guy in a coffin into a pit of acid. then sings a song to remember him then forgets about him. clayface absorbs his daughter. and clayface almost absorbs and kills batman. and there's one episode were batman and bollock visit whats implied to be a crack house. with that being said batman the animated series is not for kids. it was even confirmed by the creators. and is a very good show for teens and adults.

"Batman: The Animated Series" certainly set new standards for all future superhero adaptations on the small screen. The series isn't really suitable for really young viewers, perhaps ages of about 12 or older. It's not as if the violence is graphic or extreme. It is the tone and style of "Batman: The Animated Series" which makes the series more adult. The harsh lighting, the rather Gothic colours and the story lines all combine in producing an exceptional show. The Batman character is the way he should be in this series: tough, ruthless with criminals, business-like in his crime-fighting activities but also a troubled individual who is plagued by his own past. We have just about every supervillain that Batman has encountered in the show: The Joker (still number 1 ), The Penguin, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarface, The Riddler, The Scarecrow and others. Mark Hamill takes the acting honours as the Joker. His interpretation is right up there alongside Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. The Joker in "Batman: The Animated Series" isn't written as being just another psychopathic criminal, the character has been given a lot of depth. His rather complex relationship with Batman is explored extensively throughout the series. The same is said of Catwoman. The majority of episodes are of a high calibre and the running time of each one rushes by. A masterpiece of drama.

Before Nolan's The Dark Knight, many fans will attest (and we still do) that the defining adaptation of Batman is this.Batman TAS solidifies the legend as well as bringing the mythos to a newer audience. Reintroducing and successfully interpreting favorite villains in inventive ways - Mark Hamill's Joker is still the defining Joker, Mr Freeze backstory is touching and original and of course, the series spawned the new fan favorite at the time, Harley Quinn. While the series animation might seem a bit dated compared now, the story, the style, the brilliant voice-acting, is still relevant and much appreciated.
