Batman: Remastered and Rewatched

11 on Batman: Remastered and Rewatched – Episode 22 – Joker's FavorI'm usually not a fan of Batman episodes that aren't about Batman. I mean, it's Batman. He's why we're there. I never could get into Gotham for just that reason. But once in a while, a "Low Bat" episode hits all the right notes, such as with this week's first episode. And not least because…
Last week, we talked about a one-off episode that showed Batman fighting a villain whose complicated and tragic family dynamic was a bigger part of the story than his gimmicky invisibility suit. This week, we're talking about one of my all-time favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series: "Beware the Gray Ghost." It's a meta…
As we've gone through the first 16 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, the results have been surprising. The show holds up extraordinarily well as a whole work, but many episodes aren't quite as good as I remember them being. Our next two installments of Remastered and Rewatched will cover two that have actually improved…
Our previous installment of Batman: Remastered and Rewatched outlined a high point for the series. If you thought that meant Batman: The Animated Series was hitting its stride, you might be unpleasantly surprised by this week's offering, which introduces Catwoman, a weird and unlikeable version of Batman, and a villain that sits among the animated…
With all these Marvel and DC movies hitting the big screen in the last 10 years or so, we're watching some of our favorite source material being mined for scripts and concepts. And usually, it's a one-directional affair. The stories in the comics influence the movies and rarely is it the opposite. But in the…
I've been a Batman fan since I was very young. Six or seven years old. As much as I've loved Batman throughout my life, though, I'm realizing as I watch through Batman: The Animated Series that more than simply a Batman fan, I'm specifically a Batman: The Animated Series fan. It's far from my only…
One of the wells Batman writers love to dip into over and over again is the question of whether or not Batman creates his villains. It's like the Bat-Egg and the Joker-Chicken. Is Joker a response to Batman? It's a convenient way of re-interpreting the canon of the Batman comics, which had him initially fighting…
Once we've gone through and rewatched all of Batman: The Animated Series, we're planning to do a BTAS playlist that keeps all the must-watch episodes and drops the clunkers. Because while Batman holds up better than perhaps any of the cartoons I grew up with and maybe even any cartoon ever, it is still a…
Whether we're willing to admit it to ourselves or not, Batman: The Animated Series is a kid's show. That it aired in the afternoons after school (and likely on Saturday mornings at some point) meant that it was subject to the whims of Fox's Standards and Practices department. We've seen in interviews and artbooks for…
Are Easter gifts a thing? When I was 11 or 12 years old, when Batman: The Animated Series was still fresh and new, and I was still young enough to be receiving candy on Easter Sunday (instead of just buying it for myself the next day at half-off), I remember the best Easter gift I…
I can remember distinctly how it felt to watch Batman: The Animated Series every afternoon after school. The windows in the room I watched the show in as a 10-year-old let the setting sun in. As fall set in, the glare got worse and worse each day - even fully-closed blinds can only block out…

But one of the best reasons to check out the service is the ability to have Batman: The Animated Series at your fingertips anywhere you can find an internet connection. And not just…
