 DISSENTING OPINION April 19, 2006
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
While I may not be the most die-hard of Batman fans -- although I certainly do have very fond memories of Batman: The Animated Series -- I have to say that I think this show, for what it is, kicks @$$. This may not be the Batman we grew up with, it is a Batman mythology that largely works within its own conceptual framework. Mind you, there are few life lessons to be gleaned here and the moralistic leanings are occasionally suspect, but overly-simplified good versus overly-slimplified does get its due. And that never gets old, right? Anyhow...
Many of the villians we originally grew to love as shaded multifaceted characters get short shrift in The Batman, but the Bruce/Alfred relationship has some nice depth to it. Moreover, the re-working of the villians - while more successful in some cases than others - is a pleasant excuse to showcase some of the very best action sequences we have seen in this incarnation of Batman or any other. So, while I share some of the other reviewers mixed feelings over this latest incarnation, I also can't help but feel like this is an okay way to blow twenty minutes and thirty seconds.
Now that I think about it, that's as good a reason to rent or buy these DVDs as any other, parents. Help your kids avoid 9 and a half minutes of commercials per every half hour of TV they watch!!!!
So write your local representative.
9 1/2 minutes of commercials for kids is INSANE!!!
 This is Batman perverted by the anime tsunami March 29, 2006

I love batman, but this version of batman is by far the worst version ever created (including all the live action, animation, or comic book versions of batman). I have no clue why they are wasting animation resourses on a crap cartoon like this, when they could be putting it toward quality cartoons like Justice League. Warner Bros. needs to get a clue. I might not be a kid anymore (I'm the ripe old age of 21), but if I ever have kids I can promise you they will not be allowed to watch this. They will be watching all of the Batman the animated series dvds that I bought last month. Please parents (and kids) go buy those dvds (or superman the animated series, or justice league, or batman beyond, or x-men, or even teen titans) instead of wasting your money on this crapola.
Blasphemy! March 22, 2006

This mess is most certainly NOT Batman! Why take a rich, intimidating character like Bruce/Bats and turn him into a boring twit as this show does?? And the villians...HA! What a joke! They are drawn in a ridiculous manner and their backstories are completely washed-out and replaced with mind-numbing stupidity. The Joker? Why does he wear no shoes? Bane? Why is he blood red? Mr. Freeze? Why take away his Nora and replace him with only being a diamond thief? Poison Ivy? Going to college with Batgirl? And why do we even need a Batgirl to begin with?!?!?! I shudder to think what will happen with Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Harley Quinn when they get their episodes. Oh and can we lay off the Penguin for awhile? In other words this show is BORING!
ALL 5 STARS!!!!! March 21, 2006

Here you go, FIVE Stars!
1Star for the Show.
1Star for the fans of this series.
1Star for the animation.
1Star for the voices.
1Star for DC comics (They keep pushing this disaster on the fans! Wasn't Batman and Robin bad enough?)
Why would any fan of Batman buy this Set? Save your money. Buy yourself TAS. A real Batman show.
 Great series March 14, 2006
