"Arkham's Finest": Inside Batman's Rogue Gallery"

The finest version of Batman you'll ever see on a screen

Cory LaFerriere | 05/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've always liked Batman. I've never been a comic book reader, but screen versions of the character have been in my life since childhood. From the fun childhood memories of the campy old TV show (Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel), to the much more serious Tim Burton movies, to the ok Batman Forever and awful Batman & Robin, and finally the nicely done Batman Begins, Batman has always been a franchise I enjoyed even if it wasn't a favorite.

A recent obsession with all things related to Superman brought me to the DC Animated Universe. From there I finally decided to get the much praised Batman - The Animated Series. If only I'd known. Everything else I ever watched of the Caped Crusader was left behind. This is without a doubt the best screen version of Batman.

If you like the character of Batman in any way, but have never seen this series, do youreslf a favor and get it."

The greatest cartoon in television history.

"I grew up watching this show in the early to mid 90's and recieved this complete set for christmas, and I must say, it has lost nothing from it's original airings. The fact that it was hand drawn, dark deco, with superb writing as well as animation firmly places it in the category of the greatest cartoon ever created. The box set includes every brodcast episode, as well as a rarely seen pilot episode, behind the scenes featurette, and the complete new adventures of batman which finished out the series. A must buy for any batman fan, and heads and tails above batman and robin and batman forever. Buy this emmy winning cartoon and watch it!"

Brings back memories

"It's a great series that I've loved since being a child. It's very interesting to watch the documentaries and the quality of the episodes is amazing. If you are a Batman fan, this is a must-have collection, in preference to the recent animated series "The Batman" which is poor. This series is much closer to the original comic and provides outstanding voice acting and breathtaking artwork and animation. Kevin Conroy will always be the true voice of Batman. Thanks to Amazon for shipping it to Australia so quickly."
