4.0 out of 5 stars Genuis at work., 7 Aug 2005

By	Mr. A. P. Venables "andi02" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

The animated series is work of genius. Or genius's. Lovingly crafted, beautifully written and establishes itself quickly as the best depiction of Batman outside the comics.
These are some of the earliest episodes, and arguably some of the weakest. The Last Laugh is a especially bad compared with later Joker episodes and the animated movies. "Nothing to Fear" is one of my favourites and you'll notice that the Begins movie (in regards to the Scarecrow) lifts a lot of material from here. Pretty Poison, and on Leather Wings are also classy episodes which stand up against the repeatng viewing. On the whole a short but sweet disc.
The DVD extras offer a brief but insightful intro. into each episode.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best Superhero series.... ever!, 5 Aug 2004

By	P. A. Keating "houshin" (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Before the release of this series most superhero series, while fun, never really captured the spirit of the comic books, often talking down to the viewer. With the animated version of Batman came a series aimed at the slightly older viewer. This meant a much darker series that featured everything that made the comic book version so popular.

On this disk you get the following episodes; On Leather Wings, Christmas With The Joker, Nothing To Fear, The Last Laugh, Pretty Poison. These episodes feature several of Batmans most popular villians, including Poison Ivy, The Scarecrow and The Joker (wonderfully voiced by Mark Hamill).

The main dissapointment is that it does not feature the series opener, The Cat and The Claw, and that it is more a best of than a collection of the series (the US have the complete season 1 DVD).

Batman The Animated Series has yet to be surpassed both as an animation and as a superhero series.
