I placed my order on Nov 9th and received an email stating that I would receive it Nov 16th. Nov 16th came and no product. I tracked the package under my account and the shipment date switched to Nov 19th WITHOUT any notification to me nor explanation why. Well Nov 19th came and gone and STILL NO PRODUCT! I am very dissatisfied with the seller's performance and ability to get my ordered item to be by specified time.
sincerely,
unsatisfied customer.

This is the best cartoon of the 90's, the story writing, characters, dark tone. Kevin Conroy IS Batman's voice in this and also a lot of dc's animated batman shows/movies. Mark Hammil Voices the Joker and does a amazing job, showing how crazy this villian truly is. Each episode has a good plot, good fights, imo this is the best cartoon ever, they will not make a show like this again.

I was about nine or ten when this show came out and it has always been my absolute favorite cartoon and best incarnation of the caped crusader. They were really on to something special here with a grittier, darker, and more striking look than had ever been done before or since. Get these DVDs to watch with your son or nephew and you'll probably enjoy them too. I would go with seasons 2 or 3 first. I think the show really came into it's own in the second season. Now I'll be the uncle who got my nephews their favorite (hopefully) Christmas presents of all! God bless Amazon!!

When my daughter was extremely young, I would record BATMAN - THE ANIMATED SERIES on our VCR and after picking her up at the babysitter, she and I would watch that days episode. I was careful as a parent not to expose her to junk and anxious for her to see only the best entertainment suitable for kids. I also loved watching BATMAN with her because it was such an incredibly impressive show. The animation in almost every shot is carefully thought out and beautifully designed. Almost every shot is suitable for framing.
Rewatching these recently for the first time since viewing them as they came out for the first time I was delighted to see that I found them as good as ever. These were the cartoons that started DC's remarkable string of shows that have continued into the present (Marvel has dominated feature length films, but DC has been far more effective on the animated front). And they remain among the finest animated cartoons ever made for television.

I think this is one of the most impressive animated series I've ever seen, maybe the best. That's because, in my humble opinion, the artwork is so fantastic. I expected something colorful but this is beyond all expectations.
The brown skyscrapers of Gotham along with the blacks and blues and the tremendous 1940s atmosphere is just beautiful to see. The cars, buildings, clothing, etc., are incredible as is all the Art Deco look of the period. Like a good director with cameras, these drawings of Gotham are made from all kinds of angles and are just jaw-dropping at times. I lost count how many times I'd mutter, "wow!"
The stories vary from "tremendous" to "fair," depending on the villain. The best ones, I found, involved "The Joker." Every time he was on, I continually laughed out loud at the great lines he delivered. Whoever wrote the material for "The Joker" should have received an Emmy.
These are basically crime stories, not far-out fantasy tales, although a few of them are in the latter's case. Usually, though, the feel of many stories is that of a tough film noir.
The best episode, I felt, was "Beware Of The Gray Ghost" which is pure noir. It was just spectacular and featured (a very cool touch) Adam West of 1960s TV Batman fame. I can't say enough about that story.....nor this DVD set.
