They created Harley Quinn and made her a tragic and genuine character. They also created Renee Montoya and the villain Lock Up. They gave Mr. Freeze who was a laughing stock villain a backstory that was so touching, tragic and good that no one even tried to change it until today. They had Kevin Conroy as voice actor for Batman and Mark Hamill (Yes that one) for the Joker. Both became the definite voice actors and are considered the Dreamteam. If a voice actor for Batman or the Joker was needed these two where always the top choices. They perfected the formula for a Batman series. They created a dark matured setting with unforgettable story lines, characters and lot of impact, emotions and immersion. There is even the critique that some episodes made you feel to much. All main and many side characters had depth and understandable motivations. Whats even more amazing they didn't shy away from matured themes like the abusive relation between Harley Quinn and the Joker, had stories with sad but fitting endings, show the dark sides of Gotham City and gave all the characters believable flaws. Then there is the style and soundtrack that go hand in hand. Just watch the Intro (Available on YouTube). They didn't even need the word Batman in it and still everyone knows who that was. In combination with some of the best scores for an animated series they create an unmatched atmosphere. I give you my recommendation for must see episodes (Only descriptions / No spoilers). There should be a huge overlap with Top 10 episode list of many people. “Hearth of Ice”; This episode tells the tragic backstory of Mr. Freeze, won a Daytime Emmy and is considered as best episode. It gave Mr. Freeze depth, character and sympathy. If you don't have tears in your eyes at the end of the episode you have no empathy in you. “Over the Edge”; Batman is hunted by Commissioner Gordon and the police with a fury and determination that would make even an angel flee in terror. He will get Batman and wont stop at nothing. I cant spoil but will say it is the most intense episode of the show. Trial”; The inmates of Arkham Asylum took over and captured Batman. They want the new district attorney who sees Batman as danger to hold a trial against Batman inside the Asylum because they say Batman is the cause for everyone's turn to crime. This is also a discussion topic many fans had. “Mad Love” Harley Quinns backstory. This gives you lot of insights in her tragedy and make you feel sad for her. Character building at is finest. “Birds of a feather”. Penguin wants to start a new life without crime while Batman watches him with suspiciousness, believing it is a trick. Cant spoil but is as amazing as tragic. “Growing Pains”; Be warned: This is the episode that is so sad that I could never watch it again. An masterpiece for creating so much emotions (Will not be on many top lists). “Almost got him”; Poker night for the super villains. They discuss who got closest to kill Batman. Mix of stories with a big twist. “Old Wounds”; Shows why Batman needs a Robin more than anything. I must mentioned that this can be viewed as 2 series. There is Batman the Animated Series and The new Batman Adventures (Network was switched). It can be counted as 1 series or 2. Most people say it is 1 series. In my country it was broadcast as 1 series (Or I did not pay much intention). Overall this is still the best batman show and the standard all new incarnation will be judged against. It is as impressing today as it was in my youth.… Expand

The animation was fantastic, no better way to describe it really, very dark and fluid instead of the Saturday- morning-cartoon standard that has marred animation recently. The theme tune by Danny Elfman was haunting and memorable, the same Danny Elfman who composed the music for Edward Scissorhands, which coincidentally is one of my all-time favourite movie scores. Also the plot lines and teleplays are very interesting, and I loved the characters, especially Batman, who was dark, brooding and complex like he is supposed to be. And what about the villains? Harvey Two Face, Mr Freeze, the scarecrow, Penguin, and my favourite the joker, who Mark Hamill voiced superlatively, making him sinister and fun at the same time. Though I was wondering, if the producers hadn't replaced their 1st choice for the character Tim Curry, he would've done just as well. I happily award Batman: The Animated Series a 10/10.
