I'll just keep mine short, since what I mainly think has been said.

Season 1? Crap until the "Rubberface/Clayface" finale. Season 2? Awesome with some bad moments. I haven't seen the other three seasons, but oh well. The thing is, when you watch the series, you need to forget about the old show. Yes, The Animated Series was awesome, but if you try and compare the new to the old... well, I found I was constantly nit-picking if I compared the two shows. Because this show is aimed for kids. Batman: The Animated Series was aimed to be a bit darker.

The show has some awesome episodes, but it also has it's bad moments (Saying that "Q&A" was 'just a bit fail' is a bit of an understatement). There are episodes like "Riddler's Revenge", "Strange Minds", and "The Laughing Bat" which are memorable for all the right reasons. Then there are episodes like "Q&A" and "The Big Chill" that just make you gape at the screen, wondering what the **** the writers were thinking.

The designs are brilliant for the most part. On the odd occasion you'll see one that rubs you the wrong way, but on the most part I loved it. Yet some designs can be coupled with some terrible... er... character. Mr. Freeze, who has one of the coolest (har har) designs on the show, spits out puns that are on par with "Batman & Robin". There is also the Joker, who seems to flip-flop between 'awesome' and 'annoying'. Which is painful for me, being a big Joker fan. It wasn't any easier seeing him in every second or third episode. But I have to hand it to his voice actor; when the situation calls for it, he can stop the theatrics and become quiet and controlled instead of hysterical all the time.

As for the music... eh.
