Batman: The Animated Series stands out from the throng of Batman adaptations thanks to its stylized animation, dark stories, and sophisticated character development. Amazing show, I appreciate how different characters and suits are introduced throughout the course of the five seasons, by far the best Batman television show in my view. Bane, like Catwoman and Penguin, is denied an origin episode, and while Batman briefly describes the events that led to Bane's change, we never see Bane's emotional response to those events. Though Batman has always dabbled in the dark, this particular program combines Bruce Wayne's gothic grit with the quirky extremes of a notable rogue's gallery. Overall, I think this is a fairly nice series with a few great episodes and only a few absolutely uninteresting episodes. Essentially, it is a big season that continues the animated series, and both programs are worth viewing together.
