Batman TAS: how well has it aged?

[shuriken]

Animation wise? it's held up better than X-Men, Spider-man and all the other Marvel cartoons of the time.
Story wise? Still pretty great. The one with the x-child star still trips me out.

Are people actually complaining about the animation? The show is still incredibly enjoyable to look at with the film noir look and all the characters animate perfectly.

It's still a treat. Some episodes do seem really slow in retrospect, but there are plenty of great ones.

Interestingly, I find that the redesigned Adventures of Batman and Robin has dated more than BTAS. The weird, razor sharp character models seem very 90s to me now.

Fans tend to call The New Adventures of Batman, season four. What was season three?

Depending on who you are talking to, season 3 is 'The Adventures of Batman and Robin', which is when Robin was in the series alot more.

B:TAS didn't have, "seasons" like a real show.

The initial order was for 65 episodes. Then Fox ordered 20 more episodes which was The Adventures of Batman and Robin. Then the show was cancelled in 1995.

2 years later in 1997 they bring it back as The New Batman Adventures, which was technically a different show in the same continuity when it came out. It was only retconned into a season of B:TAS later on.

Initially TNBA was simply part of the "Batman/Superman Adventures" airing on the KidsWB block.

Wow.... For me, NOTHING before nor since can compare to X-Men. That cartoon was, for me, utter perfection of exactly how a comic book should be (and what I so desperately miss from Marvel nowadays). The music, the stories, the voice cast, the awesome looking villains and their motivations, the costumes, the team line-ups, the ongoing sagas, the suspense, the personalities of the characters, the battles and how they would choose which members would face which threats, the emotions, etc. I adored every fiber of it. Sure, the animation wasn't perfect, but that is the ONLY possible complaint I can conjure up. B:TAS bored me to tears in comparison to X-Men when I would watch it. Batman as a whole never interested me because he was just a man fighting crazier men. But I watched X-Men religiously. Every Saturday morning that a new episode of X-Men would air, was some of the greatest memories of my childhood. And I'd do damn near ANYTHING to have that blissful feeling back of watching such a flawless team of superheroes and supervillains. God knows they aren't even in the same galaxy of perfection as they used to be. I haven't seen every episode of Batman, but I have seen enough to know that when someone tells me it is "better than X-Men", they are setting the bar so astronomically high that it would not stand a chance of dethroning X-Men.
