This is Batman the way Batman should be! All other Batman's have patterned themselves after the way this serious was created! Excellent set to own!

I own all four seasons of this show, i bought them separately. BUT, does anyone know why there is an episode not included in this 4th season? It's missing... An episode where Ras al Ghul puts his soul into his daughter Talhia, which is later revealed to batman in the show, when her lips move it's his voice that u hear ... Does anyone remember this episode on TV ? I do! I've seen it!
Other than that this is great! I watch it all the time!

This is standard fair for the Batman animated series. All around good stuff. However, a few minor points to make (which lower it from 5 to 4 stars).
- Many of the episodes are the Batman and Robin series - basically a slightly revamped version of the original seasons. Nothing against Robin, just the writing on all of them doesn't seem quite as high quality.
- There are very few extras - in fact some of the discs have an extras section in the menu, but when you go to that screen, all it says is "check the other discs for more extras".
If you're just getting into the Batman animated series, get the first 2 sets in the series first.

I'm quite a Batman fan, so please be aware upfront that my views are heavily biased. If you prefer Superman, any Marvel character, or maybe don't even like super heroes then you should probably check out another review.
This volume is a fantastic addition to anyone's Batman library, and, unlike many American-born cartoons, this series is actually helpful to watch in order. Villains are born in earlier episodes and re-appear later on. However, like any good DC cartoon, if you have even a basic knowledge of the universe you'll be set (though I do highly recommend watching seasons one, two, and four as well).
This particular season comes with a special perk, as well. (***If you don't want this surprise spoiled, skip the rest of this paragraph!***) Part way through the volume episodes from the Batman and Robin series begin to pepper the list (starting around the disk's episode 17, I believe). In all honesty, I don't remember if this happened during the series first run (as I was wee...), but I personally felt like I was getting a two-for-one deal! If you're a fan of TAS, but not a big Robin person, it's easy to skip the episodes from this series, as the music played during the WB logo is very distinct.
Ultimately, I give this series a 100% for any Batman fan. Be aware though - since this is a kids cartoon, many of the story lines have been altered for reduced violence. If this'll bother you, you might want to think twice. ---- Great gift idea for the blossoming Batman fan!

Here is the third volume of Batman The Animated Series, which is an excellent buy for anybody, especially Batman fans. It seems with every episode and season, they just got better and better. This was the last season before the animators that did Superman took over the art direction. If you're looking into or thinking about buying the seasons, stop everything else, and just buy them. One of the easiest decisions you'll ever make ;)
