  • Comment removed

  • Batman is a LEGEND and ispiration to alot of people including myself THE BATMAN FTW!

  • The Fucking Edge!!! Incredible

  • It's funny how Batman Beyond opening has more views than BTAS and STAS openings together LOL!!!

  • Too bad that the actual show isn't as good as the theme

  • Season 1&2 is the Golden tome of "The Batman"series!!

  • not a great show by any means but i love the intro

  • This was replaced by The Brave and bold?? WTF!?!

  • i think this is the best intro out of all of them

  • For as godawful as this show was (My early childhood consisted of BTAS, which is godly), this intro was awesome

  • I didn't watch this show, but I always made sure to tune in just for the opening.

  • this show is amazing, i can tell why it won 6 emy awards

  • is there a site where i can watch Batman: TAS and The New Batman Adventures?

  • The Batman was at it's best with this opening.

  • this batman and the one from the 90s are my 2 favorite versions of batman Evarr

  • FUCK YEA THE EDGE RULES

  • is there a site where you can watch this for free, but the whole series?

  • @AliceComplex5753084 watchcartoonsonline[dot]com

    To all others viewing this. This isn't spam, it's a response to a question.

  • @AlphaFoxtrot7790 sorry, watchcartoononline[dot]com

  • @AlphaFoxtrot7790 Danke!!! Oh and a website for it is: watchcartoononline[dot]com/ani­me/the-batman

    Thanks for helping me find it!

  • whats the name of this song and who is it by i want to know soooooo bad please comment back

  • Such an awesome intro

  • JUST when this theme was growing on me they change it to the other one... uurrrgghh, oh well, thanks for the upload :) an ok series, but not as good as the 90's animated series...

  • thumbs up if you think that this is one epic theme song.

  • @niback28 I used to hear this song at some local radio, late at night, it was awesome

  • Takes me back to the days where I would get up every saturday morning and watch this on Kids WB. Now all they have is CW, and that is not nearly as good. :(

  • when you bring child friendly to the same table with batman, it just doesnt mix

  • @TheFilipinoBoxer This is why people despise Batman and Robin.

  • 0:12 wow bat fans

  • @nachmax i think they are watching a basketball game

  • The Batman was a nice, refreshing take on the franchise. It had its flaws but MY GOD THE OPENING WAS AMAZING!

  • Best. Opening. EVER!!!!

  • @jerrybake458 so true...season 2 ruined it...wish this batman cartoon was like the dark knight movies...dark and violent...writers and producers screwed it up

  • They should bring this show back and put Two-Face and Scarecrow in it

  • @TheSpawnfan Yeah, the only thing that kept this show from being EPIC was the lack of "major" villains (Joker & Harley aside) and the crappy Riddler.

    I totally agree that Two-Face & Scarecrow should have been in this... especially Scarecrow. Hello? Master of Fear? Perfect for the Dark Gotham look... sigh...

  • @farbeyondthegardeng8 And they kinda screwed up Mr. Freeze's origin, i mean, didn't they see the Batman TAS "Heart of Ice" episode? it won an Emmy and i feel pity and sorrow for Freeze everytime i remember it. In that episode you see Freeze's humanity, he's not truly evil, he's just suffering.

  • @TheSpawnfan

    Too true... I still don't know what they were thinking with that one. DC Comics actually retconned Mr. Freeze's origin to match "Heart of Ice" because it was so awesome. Turning Victor Fries into a crook pre-Freeze... it took all the heart out of the ice.

  • The Edge sure knows how to make that guitar wail.

  • my next ringtone hahaha

  • Why is that whisper like riddlers voice ?

  • @Smilinginmygrave ...it IS the Riddler's voice

  • the best super hero theme song ever.

  • @4eversupersonicgirl esa musica esta hecha por el guitarrista de U2 "the Edge" ;D

  • love this intro better than the second one. the other sounds more like scooby doo or something of the likes, this one just sounds hauntingly beautiful

  • i love how that guy says "the batman" its so cool and yet kind of creepy too

  • You think he would have a more discrete bat alarm without the giant bat signal on the front for when he was out in public.

  • 2 hos with batman

  • THIS IS THE EDGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • I love how they were able to make mr.freeze such a badass and such a main villain.

  • anywhere i can get this as a ringtone?

  • I have to say that redesign of Mr. Freeze is still one of my favorite things ever

  • I just love this version of Batman. All the enemies look so different! Nobody would picture the Joker like that.

  • One kick ass intro.

    Too bad they did crap for the following...

    @droger7 : +1000, I couldn't have say it better.

  • Does anybody frikin' know where the heck I can watch this online?

  • it needs 2 be WAY longer

  • Great intro song but there´s nothing like the batman from the future intro.

  • thsi song send chills down my spine, i remember doing my hw earlier just to watch this EVERY DAY! awesome.

  • This theme is slick

  • I wish The Batman stayed more like this intro. Dark, mysterious, and complex. With this opening, you can tell theres a lot to the show we're not seeing. The second intro was just over the top and turned what could have been a really interesting crime show into a run of the mill Saturday morning cartoon

  • FUCK THE SECOND INTRO

  • @merctp45 No. FUCK YOU :P

  • This was a good followup to Batman the Animated series. The WB really did have a good line up of cartoons back then. I would enjoy this with a good serving of YuGioH! :) Now cartoon network has everything on lock with saturday mornings. I cant quite get into their line up. I really only enjoy Ben 10 (and its starting to get old to me) and Clone wars. I cant quite get into Rex and Firebreather. Batman BOld and brave or whatever was a waste of time and a joke.

  • Back when the WB was cool.

  • everybody check my cover of this awesome intro!!! :D

  • The Edge (U2) created this theme. Love it :) especially at 0:40 wish it were longer :(

  • My two cents:

    I have my opinions on both the animated series and the batman, but it doesn't really matter because I am just really glad that WB keep making these so each generation of kids are introduced to this timeless classic.

  • (whispering) the batman

    LOL

  • other than the batman in the 90s this one was really good

  • I LOVE THIS THEME FOR THE SHOW

  • Yeah This was an amazing show. Ahh Nostalgia...

  • I always loved this series. I started watching Batman: TAS, when I was a child, and always found it to be a little too dark, (I was about 6), when this rolled around in 2004, I loved it to death, until 2008, when it ended. When I heard that Cartoon Network was making a new Batman series (Brave and The Bold), I was like ''ok'', and I saw it, and the depiction of the Batman was waaaay to comical. Thank God that BaTB is ending, and work on a new series has been confirmed to a more serious tone.

  • This is probably a really good series and I'm somewhat interested in watching it...but... I'm sorry, I just can't get past the sloppy animation. The only new character depiction that gives the franchise justice is Mr. Freeze, and that's because...let's face it, in the series they never really made Freeze cool looking...

    Music was nice, created an atmosphere.

    What's up with Joker's Hair?

    Even the comb-over hobo-look looked better then that

    On a side note, I really hope Freeze is in Arkham City.

  • @SSCyrus

    Minor spoilers, but dont let Joker's looks fool you; he's every bit as insane here as in others. Clayface exist here thanks to him.

  • now this was a series that did batman justice

  • Okay, not a bad opening... but Batman: The Animated Series is better. :3

  • i loved this show

  • This is the best batman intro ever

  • While I didn't care much for the show itself, this theme/opening is fucking smooth. It sucks that they didn't keep it on the later seasons.

  • now this is how an opening of batman should be!

  • this was my favourite batman opening i dont see why they had tto change it

    it was brilliant

  • Comment removed

  • seriously WOW what an opening. I remember waking up to this every morning. good times.

  • BEST BATMAN TV ANIMATED SERIES EVER

  • checkout my cover for this song on my guitar!

  • i just learned this on the guitar! ima post it up maybe later on!

  • @mynameisjulioc DO IT QUICK MAN!

  • @TheBatman101 i did!

  • @TheBatman101 PLEASE!

  • @TheBatman101 check my cover dude!

  • @mynameisjulioc what's the name of this theme song of the batman?

  • I have to say that this show was pretty tight for a while. I didn't grow up during the TAS episodes but this was a good substitute. It was colorful but still dark. And I have to say that they did choose take risks such as making Clayface a tragic villain.

    This was a show that started great but ended bad. It began sucking when Robin was introduced. This incarnation of Batman was better off solo.

  • i am the Batman

  • i cannot stop watching 0.41, i love that jump, and the gcpd badge flash then BOOM! 1 second and he is gone :)

  • Who's the 8 people dislike this theme?

    I don't watch this show, but the theme is amazing. This and the animated series themes are my favourite batman themes so far.

  • where can i get this theme song

  • omg i love this version!!!

  • Written and performed by The Edge from U2. Fun fact

  • I like this theme better than the new one. This one is so mysterious, and has the techno flavor and.. and... it just matches the batman

  • i think this batman beats the crap of all the others.... the theme and show itself...

  • It's so DARK and eerie! It even gives off that type of demented look to it with shots of the red sky and the joker.....I like! x]

  • this is my favorite batman series

  • I love the remixed character designs. Joker with long dread locked looking hair? awesome. :]

  • @phopanda not just him everyone XD

  • @quentaviousmilton For sure man. I have been watching most the episodes again. And for me, season 1 and 2 were the best. Batman was nice and solo, he didn't need little runts like Robin and Bat Girl. Yin was good, at least she was an adult, not a little kid. Sorry, just ranting right now. lol.

  • What is this song?!?!

  • where can i get a ringtone to this theme song?

  • I hated this show at first since I thought nothing could hold a candle to TAS and the designs threw me off but this was actually pretty damn good for the first few season but then they decided to throw up all over it in an effort to make it PC I guess and brought in the sidekicks and that godawful opening theme.

    Killed whatever momentum this show had going for it.

  • Super!!!

  • bruce timm created a very high bechmark when he made BTAS. it's almost impossible to recreate that magic. but the batman has a refreshing look and has some comedy to it. so instead of comparing it to BTAS we can accept it as a new kind of batman cartoon.

  • dam what an amazing opening, it reminds me of what 90 cartoons did, when they made epic openings with epic music to hook the kids into watching. The music is just perfect, bruce and batman have a good style, and the villains have a refreshing but nostalgic feel, not to mention they look powerful, this is probably the 3rd best batman opening (1. Batman TAS 2.Batman Beyond)

  • o yea also since you guys say the batman TAS was se awesome ill check it out for myself after I finish watching all the batman(2004) online then ill get back to you and compare the shows and if its better than the batman then it will still be the same the batman is for kids not adults still stuck in there childhood

  • (this goes out to all the people that grew up watching the original batman) dammit will you please stfu what are you people like in your 20s this isent for you its for the kids and I honestly like this series infact its pretty awesome so stop freaking whining about "how much this show sucks' stfu dam you must have peter pan syndrome(look it up)and im 12 and if u dont like it dont watch it

  • ...old memories...!!! i love it!

  • I have noticed that every time they make a new Batman series it gets worster and worster. Batman TAS was the most epic of all superhero cartoons which made this Batman look pathetic. But now that you think about it batman the brave and the bold is a load of crap and sucks so hard. words cant even describe that terrible incarnation of a batman cartoon.

  • @yue12321 I thought this show was even better than TAS until Seson 2.Somehow the show this show got crappier when they included Robin and Batgirl it just wasnt good anymore they showed have just kept Batman Solo

  • where can i get the ringtone to this music? the batman season 1 soundtrack

  • @mastermindxyz1 if you figure this out .. please let me know.. its actually what I am searching for right now... I will return the favor if I find it.

  • This show had the potential to be Super Great and it was until season 2 and the movie Batman vs Dracula.But after that the show kind of lost its Epicness and Horror with all the Batgirl and Robin stuff

  • thats u2 playing in the back ground :-D yerrrrr go on the irish

  • this is the opening for season 1. after the rubberface of comed and the clayface of tragedy, the picture of ethan bennet showing his badge was replaced by ellen yin

  • Now THIS is an opening theme song for Batman, it starts out slow and mysterious, just like he does, then it kicks up, just like when he starts fight, and then breaks off into a whisper, just like the Batman when he disappears into the night, not that jazz crap they made for the other seasons

  • @droger07 I think they changed the opening to that to go more with the light hearted feel they were trying for when robin and batgirl showed up. It's more campy and has a whole Adam West feeling to it, you can almost her the "KA-POW!"s in there. I like both about equal but it is a big change going from this to that

  • @droger07 it was so stupid for the wb or cw to change his theme song in the 2nd season...bad move

  • @droger07 i totally agree

  • @droger07 Thank God someone agrees with me .

    u sir , are a real batman fan .

  • @droger07 hells yea, amen 2 that, i mean it gets 2...comic booky in seasons 3 and more, batgirl and robin r great but batman works better alone

  • @droger07 well mostly I think it's due to the addition of Robin and Batgirl, they were both kids and they are supposed to be a comic relief. So changing the opening to a kiddie tone suits these two characters. But yeah, I agree with you tho.

  • @kamkam2828 On the one hand, I love the darker more serious stuff, but even though it seems slightly gimicky I do like the comic relief they provide. But I do prefer this opening to the later one.

  • @droger07 agreed, they should never have changed it for the other seasons.

  • @droger07 I think the reason the old animated series used jazz is cuz the show felt really like in a 1940s setting. it look like it was run by mobsters. this one feels more like the current generation

  • @droger07 hey! jazz is awsome. and i study jazz so just to let u know theres ashit load of jazz influence in this theme. its epic and dark and moody but its like goth jazz lol.

  • Okay me personally I prefer The Batman and a little of Batman Beyond. Mainly because they knew how to fight, and damn did they fight well. As far as the Animated Series and Brave and the Bold they have there moments where they shine, but The Batman and Batman Beyond was a lot better.

  • totally agree...i miss this series...and why isn't kids wb showing batman...now they are showing these ass cartoons

  • @Alucard12465 i cant say i agree with being better then TAS...but brave and the bold 100%

  • @AdrianMorrison101 Agreed, Batman the Brave and the Bold almost did to the batman cartoon franchise what Batman Forever and Batman & Robin almost did to the movies: killed it (and he who ever lets Joel Schumarcher get near Batman again shall be cursed for eternity)

  • @TheSpawnfan i am not saying that brave and the bold are a terrible series as they are bringing what the old batman really was,campy,lightly toned,....BLUE. but it is most defitinly not one of my favorite series

  • @AdrianMorrison101 Really? sorry then, well it's a matter of taste then. I don't think Batman the Brave and the Bold is so bad as i made it look like in my comment but i don't like it so much, at least it's better than the sucky cartoons today such as Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, but the Joel Schumarcher movies? they're pure trash

  • @TheSpawnfan joel's movies were terrible in every describable way. A bat F***** credit card? WTF maN? he just pissed me off there

  • @AdrianMorrison101 i know, terrible, and not to mention he made a thug out of Bane, Poison Ivy was not as hot as she really is, The Riddler is a pathetic emo loser (he has tantrums but he stays classy in the comics) The only one good was Schwarzeneger as Mr. Freeze (a surprisingly good work)

  • @TheSpawnfan pathetic emo?? psssh not even..he was more of "wanna be joker pathetic weak non threatening". and I almost cried what they did to bane. And i wouldve rathered be stuck for severe hypothermia then keep hearing those ice puns.

  • For me, both The Batman and The Animated Series have their strengths-in my opinion TAS focused more on the moral issues, relationships between the characters and the psychology element, this one focuses more on the high tech gadetes, fights and characters coming up with escape solutions at the last minute. I find that I can enjoy both equally-it just depends what I'm in the mood for.

  • @ACompanyofSwans my friend, I have no idea what you got your degree in but you definitely earned it.

  • @baki3626 No degree, lol, but thankyou! xox

  • @ACompanyofSwans Well said. You summarised my opinion about the 2 series better than I could.

  • @yue12321 Thankyou very much, I'm flattered :)

  • I view this show as a sort of Ultimate Batman.

    Like the Ultimate series that Marvel did, a reimagineing of classic heros.

  • Marvel=Ultimate

    DC=All-Star

  • this one wasnt as good as TAS, but it was still a good show :) I mean, nothing really beats TAS... muuuuch better than BATB... (brave and the bold)...

  • I tried watching Brave And The Bold a while ago and just couldn't. It just didn't appeal to me at all. Whereas The Batman still does.

  • I'm glad someone out there can sympathize :)

  • Yup, TAS kicks major a**, but The Batman is still pretty good. I had a hard time getting used to the way some characters looked (Bane, Joker notabilly) but it turns out a pretty solid series.

  • can anyone tell me the name of the song? :) (send me a message or leave a comment) ty

  • um i don't think it has a name. but it is written and performed by The Edge, the guitarist from U2.

    it's cool.

  • This show really surprised me. Justice League was considered the end of DCAU and I was certain nothing could even compare to it. The animeish style and reimagined villains just further intensified my fears. But it was Batman, so I gave it a chance. And I've really liked it.

  • yeah sucks it was cancelled...according to wikipedia

  • Edge's playing style is unique. That's why he made the opening theme.

  • damn i love this music, this makes me remember careless times when everything was all fun and play like 3 years ago :P old times old times.....

  • gosh i love this theme song and this batman series...sucks it was cancelled...i think...don't know why they changed this theme and replaced it

  • i think its because the Batman was intended for a juvenille audience (it was much childish compared to BTAS) but the theme was too dark for an elementary student cartoon series...I hate that they changed the theme and put cheesy lines.

  • Love this theme song took me forever to find it its soo good

  • well i dunno about the whole opening song, but parts of it remind me o the theme from Halloween

  • i love this song...best theme song to batman ever...should be played in the new batman movie

  • The intro to this series was just so damn slick. Too bad the show was pretty much average. I really hate that they replaced it though....

  • this the best intro of the batman series

  • i dont understand y they changed teh soundtrack in later seasons, this is way better

  • totally agree...stupid writers and producers

  • I can't put my finger on it but this opening reminds me of another song. I can't think of it and its driving me crazy.

  • The Edge (U2's lead guitar) wrote it.  That may be why it's so familiar sounding.

  • Yeah I know he wrote it just can't seem to figure out what song it is reminding me of. I don't even know if it is a U2 song. Hmmm watch it hit me out of the blue.
