See Batman (disambiguation) for other uses of the word "Batman".

Batman: The Animated Series was an Emmy Award-winning animated series that ran from 1992 to 1995 on FOX Kids, effectively beginning the DCAU. The series focused on the exploits of Batman and his crusade against injustice in modern-day Gotham City, a dark, gothic, crime-ridden area. In 1994, the series was retitled The Adventures of Batman & Robin, and it featured Robin more prominently.

In 1997, a sequel series titled The New Batman Adventures would continue with the same creative crew and characters, but with an even greater focus on Batman's supporting cast and new revamped character designs to match the style of Superman: The Animated Series.

In January 2009, IGN dubbed Batman: The Animated Series the second best animated television series.[1]
