Batman - The Animated Series, Vol. 1 Reviews
It's about time
When this stylized and surprisingly action packed animated series hit Fox Kids in 1992, it was an instant hit and it's easy to see why. Inspired by Tim Burton's motion picture and Frank Miller's comic series Dark Knight Returns; Batman - The Animated Series finds grim millionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne (voiced by Kevin Conroy) fighting crime in Gotham City as Batman, and his rogue gallery has never been used better. Facing off against the Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Man-Bat, Scarecrow, Clayface, and the Mad Hatter. The animation itself is stylized, but as the Amazon review states above, the show looks better in stills than it does in motion. That aside though, the show was a smash hit (many consider the series better than any of the live action films, and I agree), and continued to carry on in future seasons and features such as the fantastic Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman/Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, and the underrated 1999 series Batman: Beyond. It's about time Warner Bros. decided to release the show in complete volumes instead of the usual four episodes per disc packages, and with the upcoming Batman Begins around the corner, now has never been a better time to meet the Dark Knight.
Long Live the Animated Batman
I got this collection immediately after I heard that it was going to be on dvd. I watched this show in my early teens and it holds up to cartoons of this day and age as far as quality goes... and Batman the Animated Series used an older way of cell creating comics one drawing at a time. I have seen some reviews on here complaining about the quality, but i find the quality to be of the highest!! To be able to relive the show that I loved when I was a kid is awesome. The only bad thing that I have to say about the collection is that it jumps around, rather than going chronologically. But, you can't win everything, so if you are a fan of the show I think that you will still love this collection. If you are new, then you get to see for the first time a cartoon that set the standard for excellence.
