10 Harsh Realities Of Watching Batman The Animated Series 25 Years After It Ended

:0:0

Summary

Batman: The Animated Series, while beloved by fans, has flaws that have become more evident over time, such as the outdated 4:3 aspect ratio and some weak episodes.
Some character designs and outfits in the series have not aged well, with certain costumes appearing dated and out of place in a contemporary context.
The series missed an opportunity by not including Jason Todd, the most infamous Robin, and instead focused on the less compelling Tim Drake. This was a missed chance for a darker storyline in line with the show's tone.

Batman: The Animated Series is widely revered as not only the best animated Batman show, but one of the greatest stories featuring the character of all time. Borrowing a gothic style from Tim Burton's 1989 classic Batman, the DC series captured what many fans consider to be the definitive version of Bruce Wayne and his adventures. Not only a representation of Batman stories, Batman: The Animated Series also established its own stories that have gone on to reoccur in many versions of Gotham, most notably the creation of Harley Quinn and the exploration of Mr. Freeze's tragic backstory.
For as much as the series did right, it was not without faults. Originally airing in 1992, Batman: The Animated Series holds a fond place of nostalgia in the hearts of many Batman fans. However, with over 25 years having passed since the show's first debuted, time has not been totally kind to the beloved series. A fresh re-watch with modern eyes and the power of hindsight uncovers some hard-to-ignore flaws in the seemingly perfect representation of Batman.
