Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Four (From the New Batman Adventures) (DC Comics Classic Collection)
ComicMix (Free subscription) | yesterday
Once Batman the Animated Series became a huge success, a follow-up featuring the Man of Steel seemed inevitable. That it took until 1996, four years later, was the only crime in the process. The equally successful adaptation from the comics lasted four seasons and 54 episodes, helping set the stage for the bets adaptation yet: Justice League/JL Unlimited . On Tuesday, Warner Home Video releases a...

Cartoon Brew, the essential Cartoon blog by Jerry Beck and Amid Amidi has a fascinating post on tv animation in the ’00s that mirrors many of our own ongoing discussions over comics: How many shows debuted in the past decade that were entertaining, made a lasting impact on their audience, and have a shot at being [...]

In looking at my Batman: The Animated Series DVDs for episodes to review, I've found it interesting what my initial judgments are upon reading the titles. For a lot of the episodes, I think "Oh man, that's a great episode"--"Almost Got 'Im," "Heart of Ice," and so forth. For a few, I think, "jeez, that was a bad episode"--"Christmas With the Joker,"...

Recognized by many as the definitive voice of Batman, Conroy discussed the craft of voice acting and the character of Batman as it relates to his work on Batman: The Animated Series and in subsequent...

It’s the time again when critics start compiling their “best of” lists for the decade. We’ll probably do a few ourselves, though the roundup of American TV animation is looking fairly barren from this vantage point. How many shows debuted in the past decade that were entertaining, made a lasting impact on their audience, and [...]

I watched the first-produced, second-aired episode of Batman: The Animated Series again recently, for the first time in quite awhile. I actually remember watching the episode--and, for that matter, "The Cat and the Claw" before it--when it first aired. Right off the bat--no pun intended--the main pieces are present: the jarring shifts between Batman and Bruce Wayne, the mesh of detective...

Highly Recommended Bruce Timm's contribution to the larger canon of DC Comics' superheroes has grown from the surprise hit Batman: The Animated Series into a fully-fledged universe that has taken these characters on some fascinating adventures. After Batman: The Animated Series , Timm's most significant creation has been Justice League and Justice League: Unlimited --which are gathered here in this...

The Bat is back We’ve been saying it for years: The moment they stop messing around with rushed, under-funded movie tie-ins and make a real Batman game, we’ll have a huge hit on our hands. With Arkham Asylum, Rocksteady has proved us right—this game finally does justice to the Dark Knight by recreating the monstrous foes, the dark, gritty atmosphere, and Batman’s legendary...

How did you get into comic books? That's a common question for any fan of the industry, and while the answers range from buzz-worthy events to parents who used to collect, there is another very, very common response --– the serialized animated DC Universe shows helmed by Bruce Timm. Also known as the "Timmverse," this 15-year run of cartoons -- which started with Batman: The Animated...

1. Paul Dini Co-creator and writer for Batman: The Animated Series, one of my favourite incarnations of Batman. Good plotting may not be his strong suit, but coming up with strong situations for the caped crusader most certainly is. He's also got a great knack for writing Harley Quinn's dialogue just so . 2. Mark Hamill, Arlene Sorkin, Kevin Conroy Three voice actors reprising their roles from Batman:...

Mike Cox is pretty. A reader who's way more familiar with the facial features of fifth-string running backs than even I am was taken aback by a Bivouac newsletter featuring a fellow who appears to be Mike Cox : Cox's mgoblue mug shot: That's the same dude, right? Extremely important CORRECTION: The "death touch" cartoon referenced in the Monday column was not GI Joe but Batman: The Animated...

Highly Recommended The Disc: Some people are upset by the fact that Warner Brothers has thus far chosen to release Batman: The Brave and the Bold as a series of individual discs with four episodes per disc, as opposed to one big multi-disc collection with the entire season. I'm not going to weigh in on that topic, nor am I going to review Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Volume 2 as anything more...
