At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Batman: The Animated SeriesOne of the most successful and loved franchise of Batman, depicts the comic version at its best by going deep into the character's perspective rather than trying to cover-up or justify its sketchy tone. The animation is not only convincingly good but also seems like a lot of thought is invested on its cinematography which for the most part of it works on a metaphorical way. It takes a smarter approach on projecting more of newer character's perspective (mostly its the villain), as it helps to create the anticipated impact. And a slam dunk by the makers by narrowing it down to only 20 minutes and get right to the point, keeping the audience engaged and rooting for more. The consistency of thought-provoking concept and nail-biting scenes that they have projected in earlier seasons has achieved what it is now. It also focuses on offering a closure within its 20 minutes of allotted time. On latter seasons, the writers seemed to be losing their touch on the tone of it as they finds themselves sweating behind the camera waiting for a miracle, which no character helps on doing so. And in the last season, it becomes crystal clear that the makers have decided to draw in their big bucks through it, to a point where they are ready to sacrifice quality over money. Drunk and influenced under its commercial aspect, there barely resides a frame that speaks art let along an episode; a disappointing decision to go for season 04. Kevin Conroy seems the apt choice to be the voice of Batman (although not so sure about Bruce Wayne!) and so does Robert Hastings for Commissioner James Gordon as it has the right amount of depth in it. It also brings in bigger cast like Mark Hamill to do the voice over of Joker, which is done with genuine passion and enthusiasm that is clearly visible on screen. Addition to that, the makers keep some of the villains under their sleeve and uses it as a trump card whenever felt necessary that helps in continuity and glue all individual cases as much as possible. Batman: The Animated Series can be goofy and flawed but is undeniably glorifying and exhilarating on terms of the world that the makers have created in here which smells nothing but home.

This one is truly like Batman and Batman Returns. I've watched the series ever since I was a kid and to this day. I like the music in the series especially the opening Batman theme from Danny Elfman. Kevin Conroy does an excellent performance playing Batman. I also like Mark Hamill as the Joker. Adam West appeared as a guest star as the role of the Gray Ghost. Whenever I watch the episodes it feels like that I'm watching Batman and Batman Returns all over again. The action is awesome and the style is dark. This show is my all time favorite.

I've seen every episode of this show, and I've rated them all, there are some clunkers, but when this show was good, it was really good, when the writing was spot on, you could tell. This show covered themes like drug addiction, domestic abuse, broken families, revenge, gang wars, and coping with death in a time where other shows wouldn't even touch them, animated or otherwise. Many of the episodes still hold up to this day, and Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill have become synonymous with Joker and Batman, characters that will live on forever. Paul Dini and Bruce Timm crafted a colossus of animated storytelling with this show. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Out of 85 episodes, I liked 71 of them. I thought 14 episodes were bad, and while that's still a low number, it's still something to take into consideration. Not every episode of this was incredible, but when it shined, it was brighter than the sun.
