Batman forever: and this time it's worth it.
Review date: 2008-11-06 Rating: 10 out of 10
This series of batman is without a doubt the quintessential version. Unlike the new "The Batman" the characters are multidimensional and all get a chance to become fully developed. The writing is exceptional and for children and adults alike who enjoy Batman, the intelligence of both are not insulted as is so often the case, especially children these days. The Origin of Two-Face is not only gripping but also emotional. It is very rare that in what is considered a child's medium we get to see such consideration of the audience and dedication to the Batman 'Franchise. Admittedly the direction for this series can be traced back to Tim Burton's 1989 Batman, and that most of the elements are present from this. Pointing to Volume two in the series, Robin an often derided character gets a great two part episode that finally gives him the empathy that has eluded him for years.
All in all, this is value for money and this is a fantastic accompaniment to Batman, Batman Returns and the more recent incarnations of the Dark knight, the less said about the efforts of Kilmer and Clooney the better. Yes, characters such as Bat-girl and Robin appear along with more outlandish villains like the man-bat, but this does not take away the brooding and darker nature of the series.

Absolutely love Batman Animated. There are loads of bits and pieces DVDs out there but this has all of series 1.
Can it get any better. Actually it can. At the time of writing these are on Amazon for £18 but you can get the same elsewhere (HMV) for under £10.
Hopefully Amazon will change the price accordingly.
Best Animated TV Series EVER !!

This is without a doubt the best realisation of batman to grace the visual medium. Here we have the first 28 of the 85 episodes of 'Batman: The Animated Series'. Once the creators find their rhythm it truly takes off and will no doubt be remembered as the definitive example of TV animation. Its a great box set and real value for money. Highly recommended.
This is it!!!
