Top 10 Batman The Animated Series Episodes

[@ANYTHING5ful]

Killer Croc: I threw a rock at him!

[@CeddyNash]

a big rock lol

[@misterjersey5460]

Bruh moment

[@creaturegirlandtheavengers6851]

"IT WAS A BIG ROCK!"

[@ryuoh6928]

:/ ....

[@AaditDoshi]

The funniest part about that story, is that batman is the one actually telling the story. So it's quite possible that was the closest someone came to take him out.

[@jp3813]

9:40 The live action Suicide Squad movie destroyed everything that was established in "Mad Love" about Harley & Joker's relationship. Hence, now you got new fans trying to justify Joker's abusive actions as pure love in order to ship them like Bonnie & Clyde instead of taking it as an allegory of real life domestic violence in which the victim is manipulated into coming back for more. A dangerous perception for the younger generation to not get out of such situations.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

+jp3813 To be honest, I'm somewhat okay with how the Suicide Squad movie dealt with the Joker and Harley relationship. Deadass, the movie portrayed the relationship as "accurate" like the comics and be rated R (like it should have been), there would have been massive backlash for this movie and more talks about domestic violence. And I don't think WB wanted to take a chance on that. It sucks, but what's done is done.

[@bobabrown978]

Heart of ice was a cool episode

[@joshuajoesephthomas2292]

saw wat ya did there

[@MrJackolantern92]

Chill out with the puns, man

[@afonsolucas2219]

That pun is rad as ice!

[@kazim4734]

Stay frosty

[@milankolarski8876]

"What killed the dinosaurus ? The ice age !" Just a joke, I agree, that was my favorite one. I liked how literally Victor Fries became so emotionless.

[@TheAlfrulz]

My picks, for me at least are: 1.) Robin's Reckoning 2.) Perchance to Dream 3.) Beware the Grey Ghost I'll always get the urge to watch them every five years or so. I always favored the episodes that featured Bruce Wayne just as much as Batman. It reminded me there was still a human underneath that cape and cowl costume.

[@Trialwolf]

"I Am The Night" is one of my favourites as it has Batman looking over his career as The Dark Knight and wondering if he is doing any good and if he should just give it up after an incident where Commissioner Gorden is badly injured. Really powerful episode seeing Batman in a rare and vulnerable moment.

[@jakeharrison439]

couldn't have put it better myself. I am the night us my favorite episode in the entire show!

[@vaultboy123]

The female protagonist in Fallout 4 is named Nora, and she gets frozen as well. Coincidence? Yeah, it probably is.

[@nathanbaca5131]

I doubt its a coincidence tbh. I'm willing to bet a majority of Bethesda employees have watched Batman TAS. It's not uncommon for artists to make references and draw parallels from things they enjoy or draw inspiration from.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

Top Ten Teen Titans Episodes! That was my show as a kid.

[@10cjones]

agreed! I would like to see them do that count down as well.

[@saintzeropg]

but X-Men tho

[@sarib2079]

+Uncle Daley but the 90s Spiderman series tho

[@saintzeropg]

+Sarib- Eye good point

[@dalebrush5366]

+Sarib- Eye Spectacular tho

[@gothamgirl]

This series is what got me into comics too! I absolutely adore it! I love "The joker's favour" and a lot of the Joker's episodes, but "the Demon's Quest" is one of my favourites as well!

[@gjssub]

Does anyone else think it's weird that he didn't mention the fact that Joker's Favor CREATED Harley Quinn?

[@jcalpeter]

Yeah I was thinking that too

[@andresalmonte9895]

Wait how'd it crest Harley Quinn?

[@gjssub]

+Andres Almonte She was created for the cake gag in the episode!

[@grocket9520]

+Andres Almonte It was the first time she ever appeared. She wasn't in the comics before she was in the show.

[@ymir13]

This episode was Harley's first apperance.

[@leonardcasiano]

"I threw a rock at him!" " please smaller words" hahahaha love it! love it! great choices!!!!

[@dustinbucy8019]

"But it was a BIG rock" I loved Killer Croc's Story,,, or was it Batman's story???

[@larryjake7783]

lmfao

[@JaySoul55]

Top ten best episodes in spider-man the animated series

[@JaySoul55]

Hopefully one day

[@JaySoul55]

+VariantComics you're the best I love your work

[@padraic5020]

+VariantComics you had to have spoilers

[@Brendan7001]

No, no, no, no. Best SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN episodes.

[@Fernando5455Jr]

Farewell Spiderman !

[@damongrimes6096]

it stinks this show isn't on Netflix or Hulu because now I want to binge watch it

[@nortonman1178]

I know, I've been contemplating getting Amazon Prime just to watch this.

[@Shintaims8]

I've been thinking of buying all the dvds.

[@tommyotb658]

Nortonman I got Amazon Prime for this very reason. Well worth the subscription.

[@DemarcusAurelius403]

Dc universe

[@bubbybb9704]

I have all the dvds

[@generalkenobi7873]

You forgot to say *Joker's favor* is the first apperence of Harley Quinn ;)

[@Forty3Snakes]

I think everyone knows at this point lol

[@generalkenobi7873]

Gerry Ramone sure ;)

[@generalkenobi7873]

I was laughing when Screenrant said somtin like "hey did you know Harley Quinn was originaly a TV caracter before she appered in comics" a couple weeks ago, and I was like "yeah everyone and their dog knows that !" lol

[@seanhackett8305]

+The Bat of Gotham That episode was on September 11th, 1992. I was born on that day 7 years later. I'm a huge fan of Harley and it makes me so happy that her and I pretty much share a birthday.

[@kadensas3021]

+Sean Hackett boi

[@batsignal3469]

My list is 10 Terror in the Sky 9 Appointment in Crime Alley 8 P.O.V. 7 Trial 6 Blind as a Bat 5 Baby Doll 4 House and Garden 3 Mad Love 2 Robin's Reckoning 1&2 1 Harlequinade

[@asdf7333]

Oh ya house garden is pretty gud

[@nemesis9945]

Very good list. It's very rare that " Terror in the Sky" ends up on anybody's list. Can you tell me, what do you like about this episode so much, that you put it on your list ? Would love to know, since "Terror in the sky" is one of my favorites too.

[@batsignal3469]

+Adam Sokołowski I like the poetic justice about it. Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!! You know that the father wanted to ruin Kurt but he only hurts his daughter Francine.

[@89tilinfinity29]

house and garden was a great episode, would be on my top 10 as well.

[@DemarcusAurelius403]

“Heart of ice”?

[@truckshackley373]

The Baby Doll episode was a favourite of mine. Harley's Holiday, Be a Clown, and On Leather Wings rank up there too.

[@InsaneHill]

The Baby Doll episode got me in the feels, and I will always remember that episode.

[@kylefrank638]

This was a good Top 10. Heart of Ice deserves to be on everyone's Top 10... Over the Edge, too. Most of my other favorites never end up on people's lists, though... The Laughing Fish, Nothing to Fear, Terror in the Sky... I'm surprised Trial wasn't here either.

[@TJUC123]

Yes!!! Awesomeness!!!

[@isabelr3467]

Harley's Holiday is so underrated. It is the perfect example of why the Animated Series Batman is the best version of the character.

[@sebastieno.1614]

Isabel Rentoul THANK YOU! Harley's Holiday is incredibly underrated. It's the best episode for Harley Quinn, besides Mad Love and Harley and Ivy. It depicts the character perfectly

[@AndresJames12]

Great video Arris! I recently got all the episodes of BTAS and now my kids watch one episode every morning before school, just like I used to 20 years ago. They love it!

[@mrknightburrell9711]

+VariantComics I now right it reminds me of how my mom was

[@willknight895]

+VariantComics Not trying to make a criticism but on the Joker's favour segment, if you mentioned that it was the first time Harley Quinn had ever appeared it would have made it a lot better.

[@Rako_the_Awesome]

One of my favorites was always “Appointment in Crime Alley”.

[@DarkRenegade001]

I loved "The Forgotten". The story with Bruce losing his memory while searching for missing people was nice. However I liked Alfred's own detective work to find Bruce with even taking the Batwing out to him personally. The banter between the Batwing and Alfred always makes me laugh even to this day.

[@alexontheonemc5188]

People never mention how good the music was in this series. It was like the music was it's own character it was so good and would capture a scene and tell you a story. I loved the animations in this series too. The beginning title screen for the episodes were works of art and sometimes they would incorporate it like they did in the Two Face episode when the doctor unravels his bandages to show his face. The animations looks sharper and deeper colors. This series was ahead of its time. An all time great.

[@andreashetler8265]

"I threw a rock at him" Killer Croc - Almost Got Him That line still cracks me up to this day. lol

[@awaken6760]

I wish they'd put this whole series on Netflix

[@toryrobinson8904]

Nice video! My top 3 favorite episodes are: I Am the Night, The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy, and Feat of Clay (Parts 1 & 2).

[@ManiacMageetheG]

I'm surprised at how many of these episodes I remembered, even though I haven't seen the series since the 90's. Ah, nostalgia.

[@EvilPhantasm]

1. Feat of Clay 2. The Laughing Fish 3. Over the Edge 4. House and Garden 5. Jokers Favor 6. Baby Doll 7. Heart of Ice 8. Harley's and Ivy 9. His Silicon Soul 10. Read My Lips

[@captainboromir6958]

Love this show! This show was the reason I grew up as a fan of Dick Grayson/Robin. I actually have the Gray Ghost figure they made from the Justice League Unlimited line.

[@Shiirow]

He's not the Batman, he's the goddamn Batman

[@wutAtreat]

hmmm... so you've been reading goddamn Miller's "All Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder" lately? Great art by Jim Lee.. was it Lee? Worst Batman ever! He wanted to write a Robin origin story.. great. But secluded himself.. getting high on lsd every few days that he would sit down and wrote it. Maybe pcp too.. for us users of the dust, we know the thoughts that you think while on it.. all illegal mostly. but normal things are so goddamn slow.. Lets go faster. more drugs! And DC gave them to him, anything he wants. Expecting sales comparable to his DKR 4 book series that everyone has. How else can you explain how bad it is? dust n shrooms n lsd

[@wutAtreat]

Not 'All Star Batman' by snyder and others, dumbshit!!!! I love all star BATMAN, thank god dc gave that to another writer. the ROBIN the boy wonder books, when HE says to a traumatized dick(robin), 'I'm the goddamned batman' after he kidnapped him. he also called his vehicle the batmobile, robin thought it was a dumb name.. contradicting himself from dk of the 80's.. telling carrie, 'dick called it the batmobile, something a kid would say." I love all Batman.. mostly, but what he did was make b-man look like a 17 yr old who thinks he's the biggest, baddest motherfucker that ever visited your moms bed. I'm done with you, you damn simpleton ignorant foolish troll. don't talk me, me no talk you anywayz EVERYONE AGREES WITH ME and HATES THAT SERIES. you cant write a worse comic if you tried. maybe YOU can, as we see how stupid you are. If you think im wrong on the facts ..right down to millers drug use when writing.. go fact check it. -out

[@creaturegirlandtheavengers6851]

Noooooooo don't mention that storyline

[@buhnana6117]

What are ya dense?

[@iplaystuff2465]

good list. Heart of Ice is also one of my 2 favorite episodes on the show. The other one is feat of clay (well, ok, technically it's two episodes). Which is pretty similar to heart of ice, if you think about it.

[@SpawnRevenge92]

Great list. Also, perfect summary of the character you did there: a man who will do what is right, no matter the cost. Including his own happiness. Spot on.

[@InitialXG]

"And then I threw a rock at him!!" ........

[@nonomen6665]

"Almost got 'im" and "Heart of Ice" are always in the top 2 and it's easy to see why.

[@codymosby3650]

"If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" Favorite episode, I love the maze trial.

[@Kaitou1412Fangirl]

How much is a good night's sleep worth? Now that's a riddle for ya.

[@eronan03]

Night of The Ninja / Day of The Samurai is my favorite. I loved the time spent in Japan, and his Baron Mordo-like relationship with Kyodai Ken.

[@otakumarcus]

Can we have a top 10 episodes of spider-Man the animated series? Also, I really enjoyed the riddler episodes.

[@MarcosRomero]

Ugh every new episode you bring up hits my nostalgia like a rocket it's amazing

[@nextgengaming074]

Where is 'Trial' and 'Strange secret of Bruce Wayne' ?

[@alexvandyke7564]

Those were great episodes

[@nextgengaming074]

+Greg Elchert I agree, nd also seeing all batman villians together is so epic, nowdays cartoons have become a joke.

[@westlifeperufans]

Trial is my favorite episode too ! the only one that you can see all the villains

[@dimisfyri7932]

Almost Got'Im was my favorite episode as a child as well. Loved watching it!

[@fezzabluenose]

This seems identical to the nostalgia critic list haha

[@artistwithawanderingeye908]

They both love Batman

[@krisfarted]

+Voltron Trash (UndeadOtaku) but aris is more on comics than the nostalgia critic

[@TalhaMansoor]

really love both lists.

[@SerenityTV2002]

Yeah, maybe a bit to identical to nostalgia critics list. The number 1 pick is the same.

[@appleWhisky43]

wow I thought so too, both have great taste

[@Slappysan]

I was sure "His Silicon Soul" would make your list even though I had to search for the title. Just reading a recap (there were three eps with the supercomputer) got me in my feels.

[@hunterfulton8875]

Wouldn't the comic Mad love be based on the animated series since she first appeared in that series?

[@restlessentertainment9760]

But the comic came out before the episode of Mad Love was released

[@TJUC123]

+Restless Entertainment Dang it! I always thought the episode came first. Thanks.

[@Lockn3s5]

The comic's art style was based on the animated series but when they made it for the show it was after the show's redesign during it's final season where the art style was drastically different but Harley is the only character who was still drawn the exact same way. Well, when she's wearing her costume at least.

[@SellavinAtoms]

i love this show so much as a kid it is the best superhero show ever and i love every episode on this list even the honorable mentions.

[@sarkastikleader4708]

Duuuude!!! P.O.V is hands down the best episode. It was basically a "Gotham Central" episode of how the cops of Gotham view Batman at "work" and how he deals justice. The cops are questioned and eventually there is a mole in GCPD working for the mob. That episode was a child and now as an adult, still holds strong.

[@LATVERIAN1]

Being a hardcore fan of this "definitive" Batman series, I realize how difficult it must of been to pick a top ten. Especially with so many great & unforgettable episodes. However, I think you did a wonderful job. 4 out of 10 of the episodes you listed here, I own WB production cels from. And they still are displayed, in my home, with cherished memories to this very day. Also, both myself, and "my" wife, have made a tradition of watching "Christmas With The Joker" an annual pastime as well. My personal favorite "Joker" episode is, and always shall be, "Joker's Favor". This was also the episode, that I first watched, that included The Joker (*plus introduced Harley Quinn*) Many people don't include "Joker's Favor" to their own lists. I'm glad to see that you did. It's really a stand-out episode, and you explained it quite well. One last mention; "Mad Love". While it most certainly deserves to be included on your list, the only thing that continues to ruin the episode was Joker's new character design. To this day I despise it. It's just awful. Even Bruce Timm has been quoted in saying that it was a mistake. Still, a classic episode taken from that classic one-shot book. Thanks again for bringing back the memories.

[@geekedmedia]

Decent list. Too many good episodes to fit in a top 10 though.

[@NapoleChan]

Never should have doubted you, this show was the foundation of my youthful fandom for comics (especially Batman) so making a list of it brings extreme scrutiny! Jokers Favor was on here also, another one that was so powerfully unique it's another of the few that I can remember perfectly no matter how long ago it was last watched, it blew my kid mind! Bravo you list was great, there were a few I wouldn't have picked but I loved being reminded of!

[@dalebrush5366]

My favourite is probably Baby Doll. Such a heart-wrenching ending.

[@robertstirling2798]

This series was my childhood. I loved them then and love them now!

[@ibekristen]

LOVE THIS EPISODE, ARRIS

[@amandaannette1678]

love u man :}

[@OminusMentor]

Most of these episodes in your top 10 are some of the episodes that stood out to me as well...particularly "Over the Edge", "Christmas with the Joker", "The Man Who Killed Batman", "Perchance to Dream", "Mad Love", "Heart of Ice"

[@Jaguar2877]

Three words "The Laughing Fish" enough said.

[@creaturegirlandtheavengers6851]

I really wanna watch that one.

[@GlitchanBlack]

Two words: Growing Pains.

[@Rendezman562]

yessssssss thank you for having over the edge on the list!! without a doubt, my personal all time fave!!

[@sevenrhodes7947]

Oh my god I love Joker's favour it's hilarious

[@JawJX]

I miss watching this!! Best voice acting ever by Kevin and Mark

[@csquared84]

Good Job Arris, and this video was uploaded on my birthday.

[@csquared84]

+VariantComics Thanks Arris.

[@terrencecastonguay1984]

+VariantComics Great video

[@raulrojas7405]

+Chriso Chiasson Happy birthday!

[@ChrisArtsTube]

Ras Al Ghul episodes were always my favorite ones. they were just so intriguing you never wanted to take your eyes off the TV! Demon's Quest for sure!!

[@giovannyarjona1348]

i think batmam animated series was the best show and still is up to this point

[@Trevian20]

I love Robin's Reckoning. As a kid my favorite ones were Riddler's Reform and Beware The Grey Ghost.

[@welcometothemetaverse2523]

The "Joker's Favor" episode was also the introduction to Harley Quinn! Writer for the show, Paul Dini created her based off his friend Arleen Sorkin, who was then hired to do the voice. She was originally written as an assistant to the Joker, only intended for one episode. He had no idea how popular the character would become.

[@MarvelMovieFan]

The Lion and the Unicorn was my favorite episode because it showed how awesome Alfred is.

[@BatmanTheGothamKnight]

I am Vengeance, I am the Night, I Am Batman

[@thompur]

Great list! I haven't watched the series in over a decade, but I remember all of these episodes, and most were among my favorites!

[@secretagent1007]

where can I watch the animated series?

[@SuperLoren78]

Illegally online😂

[@Batmansdad1]

It's free to watch on Amazon prime

[@kylefrank638]

You can on Kisscartoon. There are annoying advertisements on the sides, but they're what makes it legal.

[@Jaguar2877]

Or you can buy the complete series on DVD.

[@derrickvoss8043]

+Loren willhight that's what I do

[@vincentfranklin17]

When the show debuted, I was already a big Batman fan. The show just made me a bigger fan!

[@7teenagesmokers309]

Clayface was one of my favorite villains

[@sawyer5372]

OMG yes you finally made it!!! I've been waiting for years

[@zipgow]

There's this one really fucked up episode where Clayface is robbing places because he's dating this scientist who's figured out this way to cure him, but the machines aren't cheap. So at the end, when Clayface has robbed enough to finally make himself normal again--and lose the superpowers that endanger the city--Batman destroys the machine, because he's unable to think outside of absolutes. I remember thinking that Batman was such a prick in that episode and haven't forgiven him since.

[@RBweb24]

I agree, Batman really looks bad in that episode.

[@N1TEMAR3187]

I think Clayface and Mr. Freeze have the saddest stories. Batman really was the villain in that episode smh

[@deezportz]

+N1TEMAR3187 I agree

[@jonathanamalidosan5476]

John Jones well he comes back to life

[@Rioux1355]

The mad hatter was always my favorite. I loved how jervis was a insecure guy who just wanted love. He went about it all wrong but the story does a great job of turning a genius into a criminal

[@BatDanReviews]

None of the riddler episodes? :(

[@hellomyking3302]

+VariantComics why didn't you put it in honorable mentions then

[@lordeowstheking]

+Hello My King because he didn't get over it

[@maverickhuntersyd]

+Hello My King to be fair this cartoon was her first appearance, so I don't know if toned down is a good term for it

[@BatDanReviews]

+VariantComics I was just thinking of making my own top ten list when you uploaded yours! "Riddlers Reform" or "If you're so smart why aren't you rich?" Would definitely make my list. Love the animated series riddler and to this day, it's probably still the best depiction of the riddler.

[@TheEmanExperience]

If you're so smart why aren't you rich is my favorite riddler episode

[@lookinforthe70s]

it was amazing that they could make a show that was so on the mark with so many things.

[@lexmatthewtheurbanavenger7801]

Captain planet PLEEEESE! ! ! ! !

[@charlesthomas5077]

+VariantComics great video best thing to watch at work today I gotta save it with your number 7 I'm not nitpicking but you forgot to mention that that was Harley Quinn's first episode if no one else said it

[@lexmatthewtheurbanavenger7801]

+Charles Thomas Demon's quest is a hot commodity

[@josevillescazjr.493]

The laughing fish will always be one of my favorite episodes ever. Heart of Ice really does get you in the feels as well as Robin's Reckoning.

[@bloodsport.muaythai]

the dark knight - best comic movie of all time btas - best comic cartoon of all time Arkham trilogy - best comic video games of all time damn batman

[@djg34djg]

Greatest ever.

[@doomrokk1206]

there's one called P.O.V that was always one of my favorites. Three officers, Bullock, Montoya, and a rookie give their own accounts of what they see Batman doing. Bullock claiming to be saving Batman and the rookie cop thinking he's supernatural, but Montoya's version is the most accurate and she helps Batman in the end. Good stuff!

[@coryinthehouse3671]

Top ten Marvel Weapons!!!!!!

[@coryinthehouse3671]

how about top 15?

[@richardmiquel6779]

Agree!

[@coryinthehouse3671]

+VariantComics its solo cool you responded

[@dezmondphillip8263]

+VariantComics can You do the justice league the animated series vs avengers earth mightiest heroes

[@CurtisFernandes1998]

+VariantComics how about a top 10 dbz fights???

[@michieldevries977]

Heart of Ice will always be number 1 for me, but this is a solid list. I highly recommended one of the latest episodes of the Nerdist podcast, with Paul Dini. Very insightful and moving.

[@nightwing6287]

Batman sucks , teen titans go is better - Said no one ever

[@khalidabdirisaq6592]

[@marsap8715]

Arris, did you have a crush on Harley Quinn as a kid? If you reply I will pee my pants!!!

[@aytgh]

Harley Quinn feels so toned down in Batman the Animated Series compared to the Arkham Games, comics and the Suicide Squad

[@connorc741]

Well she's an animated series original character so if anything the movies and games twisted her character

[@chickencooger34]

*dies inside*

[@sayeedmorgan3413]

She kills a lot of people in the series

[@hamhockbeans]

Toned down... that was Harley Quinn they just decided to make her more over sexed and sleazy thus Harley the Hooker in the comics and game was born.

[@aytgh]

hamhockbeans Sex sells. I prefer Harley from the Arkham games

[@WallyHolland]

Nothing but love for you, Arris. You're great at what you do

[@ReggieMCH]

X-men Animated series was good also, I don't think Batman was better

[@dylanwaby5781]

X men animated series was dope I still remember the theme tune

[@MavvyMaloneTV]

They were both dope, I used to watch the Spider-Man animated series on Fox too. That was the Saturday morning cartoons trinity during the 90's.

[@NTEDOG561]

naw batman tas was better by a mile xmen still good tho

[@TheEmanExperience]

I remember the thanksgiving special during this time when they Fox kids would air a mini marathon of all those great shows

[@MavvyMaloneTV]

I gotta agree with Jonathan Vazquez , Batman TAS created Harley, gave us the immortal voice acting of Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill, and spawned the theatrical release of 1 of the greatest animated Batman movies of all time... Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.!! X-Men is a close 2nd though, It handled the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix sagas beautifully! 👌💯

[@BigHosMan]

Excellent upload,AQ. I,too,am a huge fan of Batman The Animated Series and it`s the reason I got (back) into the comic book version of the character. Recently purchased the entire series and am digging it big time!

[@douglassnyder9206]

You kind of forgotten to mention that Heart of Ice won an Emmy for its writing. There are two things that I should mention about the episode Nothing to Fear: First, it introduces the popular line "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!" and second, the ending of that episode in which Batman infects the Scarecrow's own fear toxin (with Batman appearing as a bat demon), Commissioner Gordon & Harvey Bullock discovering Scarecrow at the office, and Bruce Wayne laying flowers on his parents gravestone which ends with Bruce walking away & we see a shadow of Batman behind him; are my favorite scenes from that episode. The episode Perchance to Dream is considered Kevin Conroy's & Troy Baker's favorite episode of the entire series. The ending to the episode of Cat Scratch Fever shows a human side to Batman. It should also be mentioned that during the recording sessions for The Man Who Killed Batman, the cast & crew laughed at Arleen Sorkin's performance of playing the kazoo during the 'funeral' at the chemical factory. You also forgot to mention the episode Zatanna as well. The episode A Bullet for Bullock won an Emmy for its music. And for some odd reason, one of my favorite episodes when I was young was Showdown, which introduced Jonah Hex.

[@f-s-r]

This series was very well written. That's something that certain new movies could really use...

[@thedatabase677]

I loved every one on the list, but one that has always been one of my personal favorites that I never grow tired of is Cape and Cowl.

[@WillZero005]

What a strong List! so many grand memories, My two Honorable mentions would be "Night of the ninja" and "Day of the samurai" It's utterly amazing that these days we can finally acknowledge that it's all more than a kid's show.

[@MavvyMaloneTV]

Solid list. Every Saturday morning it was this show and a big bowl of cereal on the living room floor! So glad 'Almost Got'Im' was #1. I'll never be able to forget that Killer Croc line.. "I threw a rock at him!.... It was a big rock" 😂😂😂

[@saladman2384]

It’s nice to see an internet show that is actually passionate about what they talk about. Love variant!

Show still holds up in many ways. Damn near every comic show animated or live action (I'm looking at you Supergirl) has copied that perfect illusionary life episode.

I totally agree that every one of your favorites were top shelf. My favorite episode of all time is "I Am the Night" and my runner up is "Feat of Clay parts I & II", hands down. And I agree that there are just too many great episodes to mention. Great list! Love the series since it came out.

Love the jokers favor really captured how creepy and terrifying the joker really is and the way he stares back at him in the car scared the crap out of me when I was younger

[@lloyda620]

Excellent list, definitely a hard task in narrowing down such an amazing show. My only honorable mention for favorite would have to be "Feat of Clay" part 1 & 2. Favorite scene is when Matt confronts Daggett at that town hall meeting and reveals himself as Clay face. Damn all this reminiscing makes me wanna binge some episodes now...

I'm surprised you didn't mention that Harley Quinn was introduced in Joker's Favor

[@kipressmillner8572]

Great List!!!! One episode I would've added on the list would've been A Bullet for Bullock. One of my favorite episodes. I'm glad you have almost got him on the list that's definitely a classic.

Honorable mention could be "Nothing To Fear" for the epic line "I am Vengeance.. I am the Night... I AM BATMAN!". It also delves into Batman's Pysche like not many other do revealing to us his potential greatest fear. It also might be the definitive scarecrow episode as it shows us that if Batman went to a darker place he might just become scarecrow.

I think what I loved most about Joker's Favor was how it took Joker's motivation in The Killing Joke and kinda turned it on it's head. In Killing Joke, Joker says anyone can be just as crazy as he is after just one bad day. In a way he's almost proven right with Charlie Collins in Joker's Favor. However, things don't turn out as wonderful as he thinks they'd be. Charlie pretends to threaten to kill him and even prays on Joker's own fear of going out in an unremarkable way ("No big finale, no final epic battle with the dark knight! All the papers will say tomorrow is that the great Joker was found blown to bits in an alley, besides some miserable little nobody!") It was the perfect revenge and awesome way for a "normal person" having to deal with the Joker to triumph over him. Love that episode!!!

the grey ghost episode is significantly more important when you realize Adam West went through the same thing the character he is playing did from playing the original Batman. Love these writers

BTAS is the best Batman, and one of the best animated series ever.

I really like Heart of Ice. i don't know if it is my favorite, but i really like it. it makes Freeze a really interesting character. all he do is in order to save his wife. which is strange, because that would mean he is driven by emotion, but he has no emotions!

I am not good with the episode titles but my favorite is Two Face part 1&2, The Trial, and the origin story of Poison Ivy. These three were my first BTAS episodes that I watched when I was a kid. I cherish them dearly.
