Considering TheBatman's hype, the underrated 2004 animated series deserves some love too.
The Batman has taken the world by storm since its release earlier this month, with many praising the film as one of the greatest Batman features of all time. While time will tell if The Batman will continue to be as loved, one thing is sure: Batman isn't going anywhere. In fact, the Caped Crusader is just as popular now as he ever was, with countless monthly comic titles, animated features, television adaptations, and even radio series taking the world by storm.
Romano's interpretation of Batman is pretty underrated too. His slight inflections between playing Bruce and Batman are easy to pick up on, and his voice is a bit less brooding than classic interpretations from Kevin Conroy or Bruce Greenwood . This younger, less experienced Batman feels a bit more youthful, and while less edgy than this year's live-action version still has the same chip on his shoulder that propels him forward in his quest for vengeance... Err, well, justice.
While not every villain redesign is great , it does help make The Batman one of the unique animated adaptations out there. Sadly, not every Batman foe makes their debut on this series , but those that do make a profound impact on Batman and the audience. In fact, each season chooses to focus on a new supporting character in relation to Batman and his own development into a hero. This eventually transitions from Ethan and Ellen to Batgirl and Robin, with the fifth and final season focusing more on the Justice League. But don't worry, if that all sounds like a lot , rest assured that The Batman takes its time to establish Batman's own world first, and always focuses most presently on his mission to save Gotham City.
Another neat thing about the use of sidekicks in The Batman is that we get to see their future. Unlike many other animated series' where we might not know where our favorite characters will end up, The Batman shows us in the episode "Artifacts." This fourth season episode is a flash-forward into the future of Gotham, where a group of New Gotham citizens uncovers Batman's history.
