Episode #034: Batman: The Animated Series
Fans love to argue about Batman, so why can so many of us agree that Batman: The Animated Series, which debuted in 1992, is one of the best interpretations of the character and his world in any medium? We don’t think it’s just the nostalgia talking! We’ll look at a selection of episodes from the first part of the series to illustrate how Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and the production team inclusively cherry-picked the best of multiple eras and multiple interpretations of Batman to create a show that was sophisticated and dramatic enough for an older audience but exciting and dynamic enough for the younger crowd.
Discussed in this episode: “On Leather Wings,” “Two-Face (Parts I and II),” “Heart of Ice,” “Beware the Gray Ghost,” “Feat of Clay (Parts I and II),” “Joker’s Favor,” “Fear of Victory,” and “Appointment in Crime Alley”
