Did you know
- TriviaTim Curry was initially cast as the Joker, having also been considered for the role in Batman (1989), and it was long rumored that his portrayal was deemed "too scary." In reality, Curry had recorded four episodes, but dropped out after developing Bronchitis. The role went to Mark Hamill, who had already been cast as one-off character Ferris Boyle in Heart of Ice (1992). Curry ended up providing additional voices in a handful of episodes.
- GoofsThis series' Batmobile, with its extremely long hood, would be totally impractical for the needs of a crime-fighter, such as weaving through traffic and making tight turns at corners.
- Crazy creditsDespite being invariably referred to as "Batman--The Animated Series" (until the changes in title, tone, and additional screen time for Robin for the second season), the series had NO on-screen title.
- Alternate versionsWhen "The New Batman Adventures" uses this show's intro instead of that of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures," the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo appears before the Warner Bros. Animation logo.

Featured review
Perhaps the best animated series ever. It provides great accuracy in the stories and characters, while allows innovation and imagination. They "pull no punches" and didn't try to make this a kiddy show. It became the trend setter for "Superman" and "Batman: Beyond", even though neither can compare.
