 American animation done correctly! January 28, 2010
Alex R. (Lee's Summit, MO)
I wish they didn't end this series in 5 seasons. I used to think that Japanese animation was the only good animation. I now admit that I'm wrong. This series is entertaining, better than "Batman: The Animated Series", & keeps you wanting more after every episode. If I remember correctly, they even do some flashback episodes of Batgirl & Robin. They also do (one of my favorites), an episode of Batman in the future. Those episodes I just mentioned are some of the gems of this series.
Most definitely this series is geared toward the younger crowd, but it also applies to the early adult audience (I'm in my 30's & enjoy it). Each season is reasonably priced (around $10.00 each @ this time I think) compared to Batman Beyond (which are ridiculously expensive; approximately $23 to $27.00 each). You won't regret buying this series!
 the new Bat on the block . . . January 18, 2010
trebe
Apparently some had issues with season one of Glen Murakami's production of The Batman, a product of Warner Brothers Family. Not having seen the first season, I can't comment. The episodes in season two, have a consistent dark tone, action oriented style, and a semi-adult sense of humor. The program may be aimed at teens, and the plots somewhat simplified and even silly, but the adventures feature some of Batman's more familiar foes, and are nicely animated, visually stimulating, and quite violent. If you don't have any major expectations, the series is mostly enjoyable overall.
Bruce Wayne looks and acts a little oddly, and his public voice (when he is not with Alfred), is a bit on the youthful side. Wayne's appearances however, are limited. It is mostly about The Batman, and that character looks and sounds fine. Voiced by Rino Romano, Batman is far from jovial, but the character is less brooding than in Batman The Animated Series. Rather casually referred to as `the Bat', Batman is apparently still a newcomer to crime fighting, and is regarded by the police as a possible threat to the public, although Batman does have the silent backing of police commissioner Jim Gordon (Mitch Pileggi). That being the case, Detective Ellen Yin (voiced by Ming Na) as his sometime assistant, adds some edginess to the stories, and is a nice change of pace.
Some of the villains, may deviate from their traditional look, but that was also the case with Batman The Animated Series. Those with strong opinions and preferences, many have things to quibble about, but having seen many iterations of Batman through the years, I didn't take this series that seriously. Some villains I didn't really care for, but most of the stories held my interest, and the writing seemed to get stronger as the season progressed. Episode 7, The Butler Did It, features the Spellbinder working his influence on the local manservant population, including Alfred Pennywell (Alastair Duncan), instigating a crime wave. Episode 12, The Laughing Bat features The Joker assuming the role of crime fighter, while Batman is suffering the effects of Joker venom. Things get really interesting when the Penguin is added to the mix. Featuring Adam West, Batman from the 1966 TV series, as the voice of the mayor, is a nice touch. The season finale, Night and the City, features a three way team up, with The Riddler, The Joker, and Penguin out to unmask the caped crusader. Add in Detective Lin under arrest, and you have one heavy duty escapade.
Some may wonder how family appropriate The Batman is. While not suitable for young children, these 13 episodes on two discs, are probably suitable for teens and above. The absence of subtitles, and chapter stops is a minor negative. A series that seems to have potential, Season Three brings the coming of Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and other new characters.
