This series did the best job of portraying Batman's Rogues Gallery in any medium. Each was distinct and had their own specific motivations. Their Mister Freeze story and character arc is legendary! Every facet of this show is top tier, but their not-so-secret weapon was Andrea Romano who did the voice casting and direction! To this day, probably the BEST animated series of all time!

Christmas with the joker is by far my favorite episode out of all of it. I love how he breaks out of Arkham asylum just to throw a pie in Batman's face and be like. I just want to see you for Christmas bro and then let's everyone take him back into Arkham and Batman at the end goes. It is a wonderful life because the whole thing is he's never seen a wonderful life and Robin's trying to get him to watch it and he only watches it because of what happens with the joker. It's amazing! I remember that from like forever ago

@JeremyMossPointClick Жыл бұрын

TINY CORRECTION: Ok loved this episode BTAS is very near and dear to my heart as well... In terms of Shirley Walker's Theme that the video states was for Batman & Robin it was actually composed and used as the main theme for Batman as early as "On Leather Wings" in the scene where he drives to Gotham. Also a piece of Elfman Walker Trivia, Shirley Walker actually conducted on Batman 89 for Elfman and was hired for BTAS because she knew the material so well. And expanded it to even better effect if you ask me. Again great vid!

Yes, please make a video about the voice cast of BTAS! 🙏🏾 BTW, in the episode of BTAS, (Season 1, Episode 18) "Beware the Gray Ghost," featured Adam West playing Simon Trent / The Gray Ghost. This is the equivalent of Captain Picard meeting Captain Kirk in the 1994 movie, Star Trek Generations. JUST EPIC! 🦇📺

Does anyone know anything about 'The Gun That Killed Batman's Parents'. It was an episode of BTAS that never got made and Alan Burnett said it begins with the creation of the gun, and follows the gun through several people who use it, and finally getting to the person who killed the Waynes. And then it ends up getting melted down. Would have been amazing to see on the screen

September 5th should be a Holiday for Comic Book fans. Why? Because this show, is the reason major movie studios decided to take comic books seriously. They figured out that adults take them seriously.. It was a quiet revolution. The day Paul Dini's "Heart of Ice", won an Emmy. That got us the world we have today. So, if you liked Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Dark Knight, Avengers movies, Wonder Woman, SHAZAM, Aquaman, Guardians of the Galaxy, Joker, Into the Spider Verse, (TV's Smallville) it all began here, with: Batman The Animated Series. If they would have failed, or if they would have never existed, then comic book movies would still be like Captain America (1979). The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988). Which means, the ONLY thing we had to look forward to was George Lucas started Star Wars again, back in 1999, and he ended it in 2005.

You forgot to mention, this is where Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon's romance begins. Like Harley, it went from here to Elseworlds and from Elseworlds to canon under Chuck Dixon. (It's actually kinda funny, since Chuck Dixon seems like the last person I would think would bring Harley into canon, since in Thrillkiller, she's dating the Joker, who is a woman there.) This leads to this funny thing where in the comics, she was in Congress while Dick was in college (and also still a minor).
