Editorial Review:

Product Description:
THE JOKER, THE SCARECROW, POISON IVY. BATMAN MUST BATTLE THESEFOES AND MORE TO PROTECT GOTHAM CITY IN THE FIRST FIVE EPISODES OF THE AWARD-WINNING BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. SPECIAL FEATURES: HOW TO DRAW BATMAN: LIFE ON THE EDGE GAME: ANIMATIONTESTS: INTRODUCTION BY PRODUCER BRUCE TIMM, TRAILERS AND MORE.

Amazon.com:
Taking a cue from the caped crusader's comic book rebirth in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, this 1992 animated series saved the TV Batman from a fate worse than camp and drew an unexpected audience for an afternoon cartoon: adults. The initial five episodes gathered here feature such supervillains as Man-bat, the Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy, but the deliciously demented Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) steals the show in his two appearances, especially in the twisted "Christmas with the Joke." Escaping Arkham Asylum in a rocket-powered Christmas tree, the clown prince of crime preempts a TV showing of It's a Wonderful Life with his own homicidal holiday treat. It's a solid start to a sleek, stylized, smartly written series that only improved with time. Ages 7 and up. --Sean Axmaker


Customer Reviews

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you can only afford to buy one dvd of the batman series, then I guess you should go ahead and get this.
But the fact that you can get 85 episodes for around 80-90 dollars, this disc is ONLY for people who are JUST getting this one.

So you can get this for 2.50 used on amazon and if you are already buying a bunch of stuff then this is a good buy, as long as you really like this show like me, then you need to get the very cheap boxed sets.

So all of these episodes are classics be sure to at least get this disc even if you are not a batman fan.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 5 stars for the show, not the DVD.
Batman - The Animated Series is one of the best animation shows that aired during the 90s. This DVD provides the first 5 episodes of the First Season. I have listed my reviews for the episodes separately, followed by my review of the DVD.

Review of the Episodes:

1. On Leather Wings: A winged bat-like creature is spotted flying above Gotham, stealing chemicals from various pharmaceuticals (recently from Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, where it also injured a night watchman). The Police ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The saturday morning cartoon of dreams!
I started watching this on saturday mornings ages ago and i loved it, when i heard that it was coming to dvd i was exstatic!
I quickly went out and bought it and boy i wasn't dissapointed.
the acting was fantastic, kevin conroy being better than val kilmer, michael keaton and george clooney at being batman and mark hamill suitably maniacal as the joker and the artwork is gorgeous!
Only 2 bad things about the DVD, 1)The amount of episodes, i need much more than 5! 2)The amount of extras, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the dark knight forever
well let me put it like this batman has always been a favorite of mine even when bob kane started batman in 1939 we had and insight to what it was all about i think that we all have a little darkness in us but this movie gives mr kane a thumbs up on his creation it also gives a story on how bruce wayne became batman and mark hamill is especially demented as the joker so my review is thumbs up



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wonderful for Older Kids
Great animation, great stories, wonderful villians. This Batman series show the Dark Knight at his best. Batman's endless arsenal of nifty gadgets fascinated my kids. My younger son is four and he was frightened by some of the stories. The episode featuring the Joker especially disturbed him. The Joker is a brilliant villian, but a bit cold and definitely without a conscience. I recommend this movie for older children and adults. My favorite episode was the one with the Scarecrow. When Batman gets sprayed ... Read More
