- Best Batman series
We couldn't stop watching this! If our kids watched an episode without us, we'd have to go back and watch it by ourselves. Great series with really interesting characters. This is a must for any Batman fan!

- New To Batman The Animated Series
I just learned of Batman The Animated series in 2007 and rented the first two volumes through Netflix. They were so good I bought volumes three and four from Amazon. I was terribly disappointed in volume four, because the animation is no where near the quality of the first three volumes, so visually it is not as good. Gone are the shading, shadowing and face definition that made the first three volumes so pretty and compelling to look at. The new format of telling a story fastpaced in 15 minutes takes some getting use to, however would have been ok had the visuals not been compromised. The new Robin is a child and the idea of a child being able to be effective after seeing the young man Robin, took a leap of faith. The one good thing about this set is that the voices remained the same. Unfortunately, I could not get past the third show in this volume and cannot recommend this set.

- Great Final Episodes to a 90's classis
Now a days they have all these revamped cartoons of Batman and others... I personally will always enjoy these that started in the early 90's because they have more of a real life feel with a kid's touch for viewing so old and young can enjoy. The new ones are way too cartoony and takes away from the real life feel to it. I mean have you seen how they updated the new joker for the new Batman series I find it strange. I guess it depends what era you grew up on and these were it. I highly recommend this final box set to the 90's series. I will always go back and watch them with my kids.

- Batman In Japan
Warner Brothers did this season of the famous Batman animated series as a Japanese anime. For the most part, it is a great season. The reason? Cos it was kind of like Doctor Who, in that it didn't have too many floppy episodes, but even when it did, they didn't necessarilly suck. But looking at some of the great ones, you can't help but love the good storylines and superior animation. The Joker was funnier, the Penguin wasn't always out for crime, and the Scarecrow? A heck of a lot scarier than ever before. Overall, this and Volume One are my favourite seasons of the series.

- Best of the four volumes
While I'm not a huge fan of the more "cartoony" animation style of Vol 4, I thought the storylines in this set were overall the best. There was more of an emphasis on Batman battling supervillains, and less of him fighting organized crime types.
