DVD Reviews of Batman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
DVD Review: Batman, The Caped Crusader, The Dark Night, The Hero of Gotham City
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the top Batman collections in the whole wide world. Batman battles multiple criminals and menacing villains, such as the sadistic Joker, The double-faced monster, Two-Face, deadly-poisonous Poison Ivy, The Penguin, The Scarcrow, mob boss Rupert Thorne, and many more punks, thugs, and freaks, that threaten every street in Gotham. Only one man can save the city, and that man is the Caped Crusader, himself, BATMAN.DVD Review: buy all volumes!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great season. Starts slow but gets really good by the end. Seasons 2 & 3 are intense. I stopped at 3 because I could never get into the newer animation styles of 4. Im happy with 1 to 3 though. great buy. got them for $20. no regrets.DVD Review: The Last Bastion.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just when you thought that the best cartoons ever were over. Guess what?
Batman The Animated Series broke the mold!
The timing and nuances are...perfect. As much as one loves the accurately sinister villains, there is a satisfaction when Batman makes a swift self-indulgent crime sting in his own unseen method of justice. Along with the excellent script and the score performed by a live orchestra, (The main haunting theme of Danny Elfman in B minor), makes the viewer trapped to watch.
DVD Review: Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to watch this series as a kid, and I still enjoy it to this day. A must for Batman fans....DVD Review: ...listen to this...
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Description of Batman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 05/24/2005 Run time: 625 minutes Rating: NrWarner Brothers' Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) remains a striking, stylized program that helped to revitalize the familiar comic book hero. Drawing on such diverse influences as Frank Miller's graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, the Fleischers' Superman cartoons of the early '40s, and contemporary Japanese animation, the filmmakers stress interesting designs and cinematography. The Caped Crusader prowls a sinister, Art Deco-styled world of tall verticals, sharp angles, silhouettes, searchlights, and grid-like shadows cast by window frames. Its visual pizzazz eclipses Filmation's pallid kidvid, The Batman/Superman Hour (CBS, 1968), which ran off and on in various incarnations through 1981. Many of the same artists worked on the Batman animated features (e.g., Mask of the Phantasm (1993), Batman Beyond--The Movie (1999)), which display similar strengths and weaknesses.
Ironically, Batman: The Animated Series looks better in stills than it does in motion. The artists fail to stylize the movements of the characters to match the dramatic settings, as Genndy Tartakovsky and his crew did in Samurai Jack. Batman uses sophisticated computers to combat the well-known villains--the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman--as well as some less celebrated baddies: Manbat, Clayface, The Mad Hatter. The bad guys cram a lot of plotting and scheming into each 22-minute episode, but the violence is kept to a broadcast standards minimum.
The Dark Knight's First Knight easily ranks as the most interesting of the extras. Producers Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski recount the genesis of the series, and show their mini-pilot, which is more violent and more fully animated. If the complete episodes had matched the pilot, the series would have been much more exciting. (Unrated, suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, mild grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
