Notable differences from Batman: The Animated Series[]
- Tim Drake has assumed the mantle of Robin.
- Batgirl is now a full-time member of the team (and voiced by Tara Strong instead of Melissa Gilbert).
- Dick Grayson is now Nightwing, following a falling out with his mentor, only occasionally aiding the Dark Knight.
- Almost all characters of the series have undergone changes in appearance, due to the streamlining of the DCAU (sometimes referred to as the "New Look" or “Revamp”).
- Bruce Wayne now speaks in almost the same gruff tone as both himself and Batman. Before the revamp, Kevin Conroy used a more upbeat tone when speaking publicly as Bruce Wayne. Batman's personality is also blunter and sterner than before.
- Most if not all televisions and displays in Gotham City are now in full color. The technology in general seems more advanced as well.
