Batman: The Animated Series came out while I was in college, which gave me lots of time to watch it. This DVD includes the first five episodes, with such greats as the Joker, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy. Lets face it, "Christmas with The Joker" might be old when compared to the newer episodes, but it is a classic.
The best part is the series can draw on the vast background and the large selection of characters from the comic books and other sources. This would allow the series to develop story arches, use its own history and even shoot out a few full-length movies.
The DVD has great extras, such as how to draw Batman, conversations with Director Bruce Timm about each episode and a 'Life on the Edge Game'. Even the DVD menus are cool. Good for any fan of the Batman!

Batman is the greatest animated show still running out there with other great classics like batman beyond or batman and robin. You can relive the gotham scene and atmosphere of a great saga of gothams finest Dark Knight. This DVD edition is great to your collection of other titles that have made it big like batman. Great episodes, great storylines and great charecters, what more to say. 10/10.

I have loved BTAS for ages, and I was so excited that it was being released on DVD. Eventhough, these five episodes were all classics, I really wished Warner Bros. would have released the complete first season of Batman: The Animated Series. If the whole season would have been released, we could have owned such classics as, "Feat of Clay, Pt. 1 & 2", "Heart of Ice" (the first ep. with Mr. Freeze), "Joker's Favor" (the first ep. made with the Joker, although CHRISTMAS WITH THE JOKER was aired first), "The Demon's Quest Pt. 1 & 2", "Robin's Reckoning Pt. 1 & 2", "Tyger, Tyger" and more. Hopefully the future 5-episode BTAS DVDs will include some of these.

The only complaint is I just wish Warner would release each season in box sets. The best animated series ever. If you want to see quality acting and great visuals BUY THIS

I just bought this DVD today, after reading a few negative reviews on amazon.com. Although I too would love to see them release a box set of this classic animated series, I believe there are two ways to look at it. ... And these five episodes are great stuff! There's only so much one needs to do to decorate such a great series--the episodes speak for themselves. This is Batman at his finest. Keep 'em coming, WB! I'm eager for more!
