Joker: The fact of the matter is, we each have an "Almost Got' Im" Batman story. I know mine's the best, but let's hear yours anyway. I'd say ladies first, but since we don't have any Harley Quinn: "They're finny and funny and oh so delish! They're joyful and jolly Joker fish!" Mr. Freeze: "This is how I'll always remember you. Surrounded by winter. Forever young. Forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served cold"

[@blutomindpretzel1735]

Feat of Clay, The Last Laugh and Mad Love

[@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982]

Hmmmmm, that's a tough one. A lot of Batman Episodes are great. But maybe I should pick Joker's Favor as one of my favorite episodes especially since this episode is the introduction of Harley Quinn. Also it goes to show that The Joker isn't someone you should mess with. Charlie Collin learned this the hard way.🤔😁😬💦

“I am vengeance. I am the night. I am BATMAN.” That line never gets old, seriously. 😊 Mr. Conroy, we 🖤 you and we still missed you a lot…

[@nick6var]

It's also great when sung by Conroy in Batman Beyond.

[@jaykirizz219]

Yes! Literally most classic Batman line. And The ONLY true voice of Batman in my mind! R.I.P. 🕊️

Bro the episodes showcasing the origin of two-face, Clayface and Mr freeze are all-time classic LEGENDARY episodes that bring back so much nostalgia 💯

[@jaykirizz219]

And the fact that the origin story for Mr freeze was written so well in this that the actual comic book later adopted the same origin story is too cool

[@marcusyates3044]

Joker: The fact of the matter is, we each have an "Almost Got' Im" Batman story. I know mine's the best, but let's hear yours anyway"

[@Boogiebot5]

This show is a masterpiece. The DCAU was ahead of its time in a lot of ways.

[@hunterrousseau3770]

Best animated superhero series of all time. And the fact that Peter Safran and James Gunn's new DC Universe will be heavily inspired by the same shared universe this show is from and set in and "Young Justice" makes me even more excited but still spectacle about how their new 10 year plan will turn out though

[@BelcherKendric-vn7ke]

I am sure it will be better than the upcoming Detective Comics Universe reboot movies.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

“Heart of Ice” reminds me of the lengths to which one can go to save one’s loved ones. Dr. Victor Fries only wanted to find a cure for his cryogenically frozen wife Nora’s illness, but the incident which left him only able to thrive in cold environments drove him to become Mr. Freeze and live a life of crime.

[@stefantsarev4442]

The episode is beautiful. It turned Mr. Freeze from a goofy gag into a tragic and relatable character. We want him to save his wife and redeem himself.

[@BigFella117]

Joker’s Favor is one of my all time favorite episodes not only because of the story, but because I find it hilarious that Charlie scared Joker enough to make him yell out to Batman for help

[@jaykirizz219]

The fact that THIS series has stood the test of time and hasn’t been trumped by a NEW Batman series (many have tried) says a LOT ! Just wish we got more seasons but R.I.P. Kevin Conroy. The one and only TRUE voice of Batman in my mind. 🕊️

[@JohnSmith-lp1kd]

I’m 41 now & can’t describe how much this show meant to me, compared to the shows that are popular now? “As a child I used to watch you with my father, the Gray Ghost was my hero… and he still is” bravo Batman TAS the best ever

[@lukePMberkshire1225]

Best DC animated project ever. Great episodes, great characters, great voice actors. Big above all: a great Batman voice actor. RIP Kevin Conroy🕊️🦇

[@Animeguy300]

There's no best Batman than Kevin Conroy, Rest in Peace

[@jaykirizz219]

The ONLY true voice of Batman in my mind! R.I.P. 🕊️

[@manuelacosta9463]

Joker's Favor is both scary because of the absolute lengths Joker goes to track down and then force Charlie into his scheme but it then becomes badass as Charlie has the Joker groveling and crying for Batman's help. And there's Joker's weakness as pointed out by Charlie, no final epic battle against Batman, only being blown up by a nobody reduced to a footnote in the Gotham obituaries.

[@geviesanta3631]

I was just binge watching Batman the Animated series during Spring Break last month. It was so worth it.

The fact that Growing Pains is nowhere in sight is absolutely CRIMINAL

[@jackambrose2762]

“I am the Night.” So underrated

[@graciegirl6699]

It is so satisfying at the end of #20 when Nigma has his breakdown at the Asylum as Bruce pays him back by not revealing how he escaped his death trap.😊😊

You know this show is what introduced Harley Quinn before making her way in other forms of media before, Fact.

[@FanaticMitchell1]

​@@hunterrousseau3770Eeyup

[@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291]

One of my 5 most favorite DC animated shows.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Man, "Growing Pains" really should've been on this list. That one is easily one of the best eps of the series.

[@BigTymerz2009]

I'm surprised they didn't include it. On another list it was #2, losing out to Heart of Ice

[@InsomniacZombie]

Didn't need to watch to see what was number 1 because it's not even close. Almost Got 'Em is the GOAT by a mile. But the list is still epic. Cannot believe I forgot about Over the Edge.

[@Dopecheetah]

I’ve been rewatching the series and it is great.

[@jamtrini3536]

Feat of Clay should have been higher on the list. The scene where Clayface morphs into all the characters he played after being electrocuted was epic!

[@georgianagheorghe8848]

P.O.V., Beware of the Gray Ghost, Legends of the Dark Knight, Two Face, Trial, Joker's Favor, Christmas with the Joker, Robin's Reckoning, Heart of Ice, On Leather Wings, Nothing to Fear, I've Got Batman in My Basement, It's Never Too Late, Appointment in Crime Alley, Mad as a Hatter, Night of the Ninja, Tyger Tyger, Moon of the Wolf, Birds of a Feather are some of my favorite Batman The Animated Series episodes.

[@garchompelago]

I was just a small child when I saw Batman the animated series. I was too young to appreciate how dark and deep the story is.

[@MaxWeb2599]

"Record? Is someone supposed to be writing that down?" definitely one of the most funny lines in the series

[@Domovo9]

I find Mr. Freeze’s lines in his debut genius.

[@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291]

Oh, “Legends of the Dark Knight.” One of my favorite ‘90s Batman episodes. The one from the ‘50s; and the one from the hardcore ‘80s (created by Frank Miller).

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! The best ever episode for me was S3.E6 (Harley's Holiday) that aired on Oct 15, 1994. It's the episode that shows Harley kissing Batman.

[@Drake-12-39]

Robin's Reckoning would probably be at the number one spot for me. You also missed Appointment in Crime Alley. That was another great episode.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

We all know it's Almost Got 'Im, right? The perfect use of visual and written storytelling, all done in less than 30 minutes. What I will say is, as a kid, I always thought "I am the Night" was boring because there's no colorful supervillain in it to fight. As an older man, that last exchange between Gordon and Batman hits harder than it should: Gordon: "Maybe if I'd been younger, could've been like you. Always wanted to be a hero." Batman: "You are a hero, Jim."

[@jaykirizz219]

“What’s wrong puddin’? Don’t cha want to Rev up your Harley?” Now that I’m older, I totally understand what she REALLY meant 😂

[@miker2000]

This list nailed it! Not one ranking I would change. I watch Almost Got Him sooooo many times.

[@hunterrousseau3770]

Love the show. Best animated superhero show of all time here 🦇 Rest in Peace indeed, Kevin Conroy

[@kahboom76]

Over the Edge felt so tragic when I first watched it even while knowing it was an illusion. Also I’ve wondered if the Gray Ghost is meant to be a parody for the Phantom

[@javiersantanaaviles5885]

3:29 And to think that this started all the shipping between Harley and Ivy, but nothing changes that they are still monsters

[@HopeHendershot-Moskal]

My favorite episode in Heart of Steel parts I and II. My first introduction to AI and androids. Freaked me out as a kid, but I loved it.
