Just as I said on Volumes 1 & 2: BATMAN the Animated Series. Boy did I wait a long time for it to finally grace the DVD. But it's out and it's great. Same applies to Volume 3. It introduces one of my favorite villains: Ra's al Ghul. All episodes with Ra's all interesting (maybe Showdown the least, because it's not much about BATMAN - or with him for that matter - and a little about Ra's), plus I love Ra's' voice. It introduces a new hero too: Batgirl (Shadow Of The Bat). You even get to know some backstory about Alfred in The Lion and The Unicorn.
I really like Fire From Olympus - a guy gets so confused running a business, that he considers himself a greek god (Zeus) and he thinks of BATMAN as his dark brother, Hades. Wait till you see the ending. A Bullet For Bullock is another hilarious episode, not just because of BATMAN working with the guy that hates him the most (though I doubt BATMAN likes Bullock). Even more fun with the Joker and Harley Quinn (Judge Joker in The Trial). Now to the essence of BATMAN (in my opinion): His Silicon Soul, one of the greatest episodes of the entire series. I just can't describe it - see for yourself. I like Lock-Up a lot too - guy with a goal similar to BATMAN, only with different methods.
Unfortunately, Volume 3 has the episode I dislike the most as well - The Terrible Trio.
I also found Bane to be pretty weak (not in the physical sense) compared to comics.
This DVD has a similar number of commentaries (even a single video commentary), though only one featurette. So it's a bit weaker than Volumes 1 & 2.
Nearly the same conclusion as before:
I watched BATMAN the Animated Series as a kid on TV I loved it then and I love it now. It IS something special, because this cartoon is far from being cartoony (unfortunately the New Batman Adventures were heading there, some episodes quite so). They just have this great mood, the producers of the series call them "minimovies", and that's what they truly are. Believe me, many are waaaaay better than actual movies (not only the Batman ones).
The only exception is that this one gets 4 stars, because it has less special features.

I'm so glad that the Batman Animated Series is out in a coplete set. The dvds also have audio commentary. Its always interesting to here the creaters point of view of how the series was made.

The original Batman animated series remains the best representation of the Caped Crusader on film. Viewers familiar with the current 'The Batman' series - a pale imitation - who are not aware of the earlier and better effort are missing one of the great entertainment experiences - not only for kids, but for adults like myself, who grew up on the comic book. It's a shame that the word is that Warner Bros. is thinking of cancelling their other stellar achievement, the Justice League Unlimited series, and that they have taken such a long time to produce a box set of its earlier manifestaion, the glorious Justice League. One hopes that if enough dedicated viewers make a noise, something might be done about this. Along with providing hours of intelligent fun, watching these shows with my children has been an irreplacable bonding experience.

I can honestly say that I almost peed my pants when I saw this show on DVD. Words cannot describe how much of a batman nut I was when i was younger. I watched every episode of the series religiously every afernoon after school. Every episode was great in my mind, and now I could relive my childhood with this bit of nostalgia. I bought this volume out of the four first just because of the episode list. The packaging is a bit annoying, but with a 4 disc DVD set, it's hard to be really creative. On the other hand its kinda nice with the comic book artwork on the inside. Visually, the series looks great, but at some points the color is faded. The sounds is really good actually, the best your going to get from a cartoon.
Now for the Important part, the episodes:
Five Star Episodes:
The Trial-My all time favorite due to the presence of almost all of Batman's enemies at one time. The Joker can be seen here in his utmost insanity.
Harlequinade- Another fantastic episode feautring the Joker. He schemes to blow up Gotham with a huge bomb. Batman enlists Harley for some help in seeking the Joker. This leads to a very climactic battle on the backlawn of Mayor Hill's estate!
Terrible Trio- A highly underrted episode only because of the "weak" villains. Actually the villains are some of the most evil. What can be worse when a bunch of twenty-something rich preppy boys get bored? They start robbing and killing. There's also some great emotional depth in this episode through class distinction and the pain over a family member getting hurt.
Shadow of the Bat (Part 1 & 2)-Quite possibly the best two-parter in the series. There is a ton of mystery, one on one battles, machine gun shootouts, and of course the introduction of Batgirl. Excellent episode(s) and the music is absolutely fantastic as well.
