The New Batman Adventures aired alternately in the same time slot with Superman: The Animated Series. It was also known as Batman: Gotham Knights during production.

The New Batman Adventures featured Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. It served as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series, taking place two years after the original series.

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.
