Especially when they paired him with Diana and it really became the most noteworthy relationship she had, which was kind of a let down when I thought her villains and supporting cast were rarely given focus and she felt like a League addition rather than being able to function as a star of her own show.

I actually like the idea that Batman ISN'T an unreliable narrator in 'dreams in darkness.' To me it makes the episode feel like a greater commentary about people we deem as mentally ill in society. The psychiatrist doesn't listen to batman because he thinks he is just "crazy." Mental health is a complicated issue but when you read about stuff like the Rosenhan experiement you realize just how poorly equipped our mental health institutions actually are when it comes to dealing with mental illness and solving peoples problems and how we have the capacity to dehumanize people suffering form mental illness. The Rosenhan experiment has had its fair share of critiques but I think the questions it raises are still worth considering.

That's not wholly true. Adam West's Batman is where the name "Mr. Freeze" came from, and the 60's series also gave him a sympathetic motivation for the first time: Being tormented by the life his condition forced on him and wanting revenge on Batman, who inadvertently caused the accident while foiling one of his crimes. Heart of Ice builds on that - to be fair, quite significantly.

You just know, while watching that episode, that the writers went down to watch Adam West record in the booth so they could get his autograph afterwards.

I love this series so much!

Not only is it as good as we remember, it's BETTER than we remember. When we were younger. we couldn't truly appreciate how well-written everything was, but now we can as adults.

The Penguins reform episode is one of my favourites simply because it is society that pushes him back into becoming a villain. He tried to make an actual effort to reform, however the socialites in Gotham were manipulating him to make him the butt of the joke. Instead of accepting him, which is what Oswald wants most of all. It adds a bit of tragedy that no matter how much a criminal reforms, there will be some in society that will always see them as a criminal, a villain. And when society will only see you as the villain, why bother trying to show them anything different?

BTAS is great. It's very heartfelt and earnest, and really makes Bruce out as an empathetic, loving man that he SHOULD be written as. It's why I kinda find it a shame that The New Batman Adventures kinda reworked his character into a completely new, less caring person, as well as backpedaling a lot of the character development of characters like Harley Quinn. Sure, you can come up with valid in-canon reasons for these changes, but that doesn't make it less unsatisfying to see happen.

Personally I like that Batman becomes more uncaring. It shows us that he slowly became Batman and started discarding the Bruce Persona more. The more he took on crime, the more he became Batman and pushed away the responsibilities of Bruce. It's also this that allows the shows to play with ideas like Robin getting fed up with Batman's shit. They show that him leaving to become Nightwing made Batman realize how cruel he had become towards criminals so he instead helped the criminal he was brutally interrogating by giving a job at Wayne Enterprises. Superman likewise helped Batman see things differently when they teamed up to stop Joker and Luthor. I feel like the showrunners knew what they were doing by changing up Batman's character. Cause it felt like they wanted to break him down to build him back up. But I can definitely understand why people would find this shift in character off-putting. I think it's just a nice opportunity to explore a Batman who has stared into the abyss too long.

They didn’t “rework” his character in the new adventures of Batman tho. If you paid close attention you’ll realize Batman is a few years older, hell dick Grayson is now nightwing and not robin anymore. In the new adventures, Batman istired of fighting the same guys seeing the people murder and cause grief. His harder and less forgiving nature in the new adventures is because he’s been doing this shtick for years now. It’s realistic that he has less patience’s then he did when he first started in Batman tas. It all combines into the themes of Batman beyond the final installment of this Batman trilogy where he gets to old, still doing same super hero thing and does something he vowed to never do “use a gun” so he retires. Also Harley Quinn’s development wasn’t “back peddled” she’s literally insane she has Stockholm syndrome that’s why she keeps coming back to her abuser “the joker” even in the episode where she helps Batman and denounced the joker she comes back cause she’s literally more twisted than the joker himself.

And worse, when people like Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan portrayed him as a fascist that many socialists, such as Vaush, claim that he is. Now that wouldn’t be a problem if they were seen as non-canon or a an alternative take on the character but, because they were portrayed in film, which is the medium that gets mainstream attention and becomes our culture’s lense, many normies and public view believes that is the real character of the Batman and can’t see him as a hero but, some rich white kid who goes around punching people just for being either poor or mentally ill. And to make matters worse for Batman’s image, everytime you see websites that shows recommendations for people who wants to start reading comics, they always recommend Elseworld stories that deconstructs superheroes and portrays them as horrible people, like the Dark Knight Returns, and The Boys. This is why I believe that people nowadays hates superheroes and think of them as “cops with capes.”

Considering how many episodes the series had to quickly churn out in little time, as was a common demand for all TV shows back then, the quality of the episodes can be inconsistent for a modern viewer, and some people may not like the lack of an overarching story arc. But when the show clicks, it really clicks. At its best, it's truly a masterpiece.

Aaaand subbed. Great video dude. I love the batman animated series, I was about 10 years old when the series originally aired and me and my brother would plant ourselves in front of the tv every Saturday morning to watch every episode. This video was a nice reminder of that.

Heart of Ice, The Gray Ghost, and Feats of Clay were some amazing stories. I remember fondly my mother watching with me saying how great the show was .

Re: "Dreams in Darkness" -- Sometimes its easy to forget that Batman TAS was originally a Saturday-morning cartoon being written for 10 year-olds. This means that for much of the intended audience this would have been GUARANTEED to be their first ever exposure to the "unreliable narrator" plot. Making that first experience a subversion of the trope - "I'm right but all the adults are telling me I'm wrong" - is probably much more effective narrative for the intended audience than an unreliable narrator plot.

Whenever Batman is in another show or story I always see him as that cool dude but Batman tas is the equivalent of a day in the life of Batman type of content , also I’m happy that you put clayface on the list a lot of reviews don’t give that two parter enough credit.

Two things can be true: 1.) On average, the typical episode's quality probably skewed closer to the "I've Got Batman in My Basement" end of the scale than the "Heart of Ice" end. 2.) There are still more than enough episodes on - or close to - the "Heart of Ice" end that this show kicks the crap out of most superhero cartoons today, let alone its "competition" in the '80s/'90s.

BTAS is the DEFINITIVE rendition of the Batman character ~ it is undeniable how much love and care was put into this 90s show and the impact that it had on many people’s childhoods.

In the episode Nothing to Fear, Scarecrow robs a bank, sets the stolen money on fire, then tells his goons: "it's not about money, it's about revenge".

To add a bit of constructive criticism, I think it would have been good to explain the flow of time a bit between episodes for the two face episode. The thing that always made that episode stand out is that Harvey is an established character BEFORE the two face episode. So we got to see him as a hero as well as a villain.

The one issue with Dreams in Darkness I have is that the doctors think the idea that a dangerous villain has escaped Arkham and is trying to destroy Gotham is crazy, but for them that happens every week.

One of my favorite episodes is It’s Never Too Late, a great tale about Batman’s desire to redeem his villains.

@@galactic85 i STARTED WATCHING IT ONE week and 4 days ago and iam now on episode 29. It is great so far. When i was a kid i had watched some episodes on tv.(iam 34 now).

Thanks for this video. This series would really be worth me going back and watching again.

Always amazing!!!😊😊😊

I like all the "Big O" anime music you use in the background. That show is very similar in premise and feel to B:TAS as well.

Props for the Big O! background music.-

Nothing like a Saturday and a new video

You really touched upon every single one of my favorite episodes, including Baby Doll and House & Garden.

Batman has the best superhero animated series( the 92 ones),the best superhero movie(dark knight), the best superhero videogame (arkham city) and the best superhero animated movie (mask of the phantasm). And in 4 days we get the batman.What a time to be a batman fan🦇🦇🦇

I totally want you to cover more of the DCAU!!!

Hey there, I just watched this video recently, and I really liked your review of this series. I'm wondering, when will you follow up by reviewing the rest of the DCAU?

THE GRAY GHOST, I love that episode because it shows Bruce as one of us and that brings a tear to my eye because for once, Bruce can relax and enjoy himself like a normal human being.

I didn't realize the Man-Bat episode was first. That's funny, because the first episode of the Spiderman cartoon of this is about Spider-man finding and saving the Lizard, turning him back into Dr Conners.

Personally I just watched it for the first time! It took me about half a year. Not every episode was on point or interesting! One of the things that really bothered me was Bruce’s relationship with Harvey Dent as two face. There’s like zero episodes really focusing on how he really feels about losing his friend that turned into a criminal! It’s like Bruce Wayne became Batman to constantly beat him up when he’s being a criminal without really realistically talking with him or trying to get him help? The last season of the series was very weird for me especially with cat woman’s new design. It was so cartoony and so weird! Batman‘s new suit made them look way younger! Batgirl had the best design out of all of them! 😇

Both the episodes Two-Face Part 1 and 2, as well as the episode Second Chance very clearly establish Bruce's remorse over Harvey's state. In all these three episodes, Bruce also constantly tries to reason with Two-Face first before fighting him.

After decades, we're still talking about this show and i love that

It's even better than I remembered and didn't watch this video in full. I rewatched it 2 times, more so than the follow up series, like Superman TAS, Beyond, Justice League etc. it's the best Batman incarnation till this day and all the other Batman adaption still builds on this one, even more so than Tim Burton that actually inspired BATMAN TAS.

This will always be one of my favorite animated comic shows and the way it tells character stories in a single episode is wild plus the over arching ones I feel it holds up so well

“Right off the Bat” A good start

Definitely wanna hear more of your thoughts on the show!

the underdwellers is a good episode. The emotion on Batman's face when he realizes what is happening to children.. it shows that in his mind this is the worst kind of evil. Something as low as enslaving children. Enraged Batman more than the Joker ever had.

I wish we could stop making Joker the most important Batman villain. He works, but I'm sick to death of him "defining" Batman.

I actually really enjoy Underdwellers and The Forgotten, purely because they felt real. They're not a crazy clown or an ice guy. They're child abusers, human traffickers, and slavers. It's a real evil, that happens every day in our world. When the Underdeweller guy screamed at the kids, I remember being so angry, just like Batman.

@@ayoutubewatcher2849 See No Evil is a great small time story that feels very real albeit taking place in a heightened reality

Surprised there was no mention of Mad Love

While I will always feel that this is indeed a great show, I'm grateful to you for asking that we consider whether our feelings towards this and other stuff from our childhoods are good because of things like nostalgia 😊

Forgot to mention Mad Hatter accidentally got Batsy's secret identity correct in his dream episode. What were the odds, huh??

I'd be interested to see your thoughts on the TNBA episodes sometime in the future! I think both the new animation style and the eased up censors the staff had during Season 4 would be fascinating points of discussion for a possible video. There's quite a lot that I think the shift to TNBA improved, even if not every change made to the new season stuck as well as others did.

sometimes you just need mid-bat when you don't want to binge a show. thanks for another great video.

the last laugh (best joker intro) P.O.V., It's never too late, see no evil, vendetta, fear of victory, clock king, crime alley appointment, a bullet for bullock, laughing fish, the strange secret, heart of steel, demon's quest, shadow of the bat, holiday knights, deep freeze, mask of the phantasm and Sub Zero would like a mention with you. and that's not to mention The New Batman Adventures episodes and Superman TAS (or at least half of it, since that show also suffers a bit from filler

i remember watching on dvd when i was 10

This show, when I was screwed up on flu meds, this made my KZread recommendations flood with episodes lol

There is an episode where Bullock raids a gang's shelter before the agreed upon time... thus making Renee looks late for the raid.. The ethical discussion afterwards was great.. the child I was at the time I saw it was amazed of that dialog.. It has a trick with the words Doctor.. And Dock.. but I forgot the number and the title of the episode..

I say Batman: he Animated Series and X Men: The Animated Series are the two best superhero shows of all time. They were released exactly 1 month and 3 weeks apart from each other and they both had great music, directing, animation, voice work, action, stories, etc.

I wasn't even born yet when these shows came out back in 1992.

I've just started rewatching the entire series. I think I appreciate it more now than I did as a kid - and I loved it when I was a kid. I'm amazed by what they can achieve in 22 minutes.

great video

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet one of my childhood heroes; David Yost, the original Blue Ranger. He was a reason I decided to become a martial artist as a kid. I couldn't stop talking when I saw him, so much so I didn't even give him my name. I'm honestly surprised that I didn't collapse looking back. I got a picture with him, I got to tell him how much he meant to me as a kid and that he will always be a hero of mine. I remember the look on his face when I told him with a shaky voice that he should be proud of his role on a kid's show that many people may not have taken seriously considering he didn't have a whole lot of other roles. If I ever get the chance to meet Kevin Conroy, another reason I became a martial artist and a HUGE reason I became a Batman fanatic, I'll do the same thing I did with Mr. Yost. Be complete mystified by the fact that that moment is happening.

Damn KZread must’ve fucked up cause this video is getting so little views when it should get way more, that sucks. Great video as always, I’d love for you to do videos on the DCAU, which is amazing imo. I always appreciate that you give actual criticisms with these even if I don’t always agree with them.

I think adding clips and sound from the series itself would make your videos a lot better. Thanks.

I'd love to see you cover more DCAU shows!

Is Lowkey's promise to finish reviewing Avatar The Last Airbender as great as we remember? Time will only tell.... Anyway, the answer is always a resounding YES when it comes to the Timmverse

Lulz at the guy talking about how great the music in BtAS was while playing music from The Big-O.

I haven't watched this show in a while, but I remember loving it so much

I love this show so much!i miss the late voice actors:Bane(henry silva),michael ansara(Mr.Freeze),henry polic ii(Scarecrow),David Warner(Ra's al ghul)i remember the good old days watching this on the computer windows 7 when i was little..

YES, Next question

Of course you review this with The Big O music 😏

Honestly dude. I completely forgot I subbed to you until this vid, but when I clicked and I was like “damn I should give this dude a sub” I guess I’ll turn my notifications on now (Hope you like my unpaid “like and follow” plug)

I’m sure this will always be my favorite animated show.

The concept you talked about in Dreams and Darkness was actually done fully in an episode of The Batman where Batman was actually wrong in his perspective.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that Joker's Favor was the first EVER appearance of one, Harley Quinn. Still, great video. I love this show.

Is Batman: The Animated Series as Great as We Remember??? FUCK YEAH IT IS!!!! Outside the actual comic books, this is THE Batman. I find it sad that Hollywood can't replicate the magic in live action versions.

I dunno why but the show's art-style always reminded me of early Tom and Jerry. I think it's because of the way certain objects stand-out from the rest even when they hold no importance. I dunno what it is, whether it's CGI or just the shading but it's what the style on anything that isn't a character or important object reminds me of. The cruise ship pool table in the episode "Prophecy of Doom" is a good example of what I mean.

I bought the Batman: Animated Series on Blu-Ray Boxset a couple years ago, and yeah, it still holds up!
