Batman: The Animated Series


 * See Batman (disambiguation) for other uses of the word "Batman".

Batman: The Animated Series was an animated series that ran from 1992 to 1995. The series was based on the exploits of Batman and his crusade against injustice. It was arguably a children's show, yet its dark atmosphere and award-winning writing grew a more mature fanbase. The show is based in modern-day Gotham City, a dark, gothic, crime-ridden area. In 1994 the series was retitled The Adventures of Batman & Robin. It now focused more on Robin in an attempt to appeal to children. The rename and inclusion of Robin did not adversely affect the writing and the series bowed out in September 1995.

Two years later, another series entitled The New Batman Adventures would continue with the same creative crew and characters, but with new revamped character designs to match the style of.

In January 2009, IGN dubbed Batman: The Animated Series the second best animated television series.
