The Batman - The Best Batman Animated Series?
September is Batman month and today is Batman Day in the US, and on this episode Johnny finally reviews the animated series he considers the best Batman series to date, The Batman! The Batman is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. Developed by Michael Goguen and Duane Capizzi, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics for seasons 3–5, the series first aired on Kids' WB on September 11, 2004, then Cartoon Network on April 2, 2005. The show would become exclusive to the former network for its third to fifth seasons in early 2006. The Batman won six Daytime Emmy Awards over the course of its run. Many elements from previous Batman storylines were borrowed and adapted, such as those from the comic books, film series and the animated shows like Batman: The Animated Series from the DC Animated Universe, but it remained within its own continuity. Jackie Chan Adventures artist Jeff Matsuda served as art director and provided the character designs. The production team altered the appearances of many of the comic books' supervillains for the show, such as the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Bane, and the Riddler.Support the show at www.patreon.com/cerealboxpodcastVisit our Sponsors at www.generalmills.com and www.hardaddy.com!Rise of the Impossibilists available at Amazon or Barnes & Noble - anywhere you buy great books!More great episodes available at www.backofthecerealbox.fun!🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
