I absolutely love the show it's a five star, but I'm giving it a three because ALL THE EPISODES ARE MIXED UP. Please fix this.

The Fleischer Superman series of the 40s were ahead of their time. It's only fitting the other great DC hero should usher in a new era of quality and depth while harnessing similar Art-Deco visuals to create a modern masterpiece. The Batman Animated Series is perfect... the characters are faithful yet original, stories are layered and recognisable, the art is beyond anything of its time, or since. WB truly pulled out the stops. 'Heart of Ice' is the best 21 minutes of animation ever produced for TV.

I first saw this back in 1992 and was absolutely gob smacked it was and still is my favourite rendition on the Batman. I introduced it to my kid and it started his love of Batman too. Would love for the DCAU group to reform and do more series and more feature lengths.
