  • Nostalgic :'(

  • I used to love the whole feeling I got from this cartoon. It seemed so mysterious and cool. I still get that feeling today. It wasn't corny at all like many of the cartoons nowadays.

  • Nostalgia <3

  • I know im gonna get lynched for this but for me this is the one and only batman.

  • @ryuhinomaru if it makes you feel better, im with you on that, justice league one was not all too bad

  • it is better in arabic

    /watch?v=G6gOOWL2iSA

  • Goose bumps it's always goose bumps with Batman. :P

  • we all grew up with this intro ...the best ever!.........

  • I always thought it looked like Batman punched that guy right off the building.

  • I keep hoping that one day, some guy at WB will come to his senses, and make a new Batman animated series that is even remotely as awesome as this.

  • @richardferro1991 The Brave and the Bold wasn't that bad, but there are people who don't dig the style of the original comics. This show on the other hand surpasses the cheesiness of the '50s and adds a darker, bolder look that's all the better for it. Hopefully, we'll see another Batman cartoon with a similar style to TAS.

  • GSL!

  • the definition of cool!

  • COMBO x24 Max, Variation Bonus +50 XP Intimidation Bonus +50 XP :P

  • Brings back memories!!! BTAS was actually based on Batman 1989 which is why it was so good.

  • i just love the music the kick@ss of batman all in one minute! my fav old intro.

  • wanna know what i like best about batman? he taught me, many years ago back in middle school, that you had to stand up to bullies and beat the crap out of them to teach them not to mess with you. did i get in trouble? sure as hell i did, but that's the hard choice batman makes, because those bullies never troubled me again. batman really is my favorite superhero.

  • Comment removed

  • It does my heart good to know that, no matter how old I get, this series will always be JUST as awesome as it was when I was little.

  • I don't care what anyone says. This Batman triumphs over Tim Burton's Batman, Christopher Nolan's Batman, Rocksteady's Batman, Adam West's Batman, Comic book Batman, or any other Batman that was ever conceived, and that is my simple IMO.

  • @Chief70 ...people say otherwise?

  • @Chief70 Either way Batman is a effin boss

  • @Chief70 batman is equally kick ass in the comics

  • @Chief70 I agree this is the best Batman ever :)

  • Now little boys and girls, this is an example of when Cartoon Network actually had good shows, like Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated series, Justice league, and even the anime shows which I didn't personally care for but had great plotlines. Not the shit they have today like Adventure Time and Chowder.

  • @sushiking1223 Woah bro, have you actually watched at least 5-6 episodes of each of those shows? They're actually pretty good, not as good as stuff like Batman, TMNT, or Transformers, but they are much better than the other shit like MAD or Half-Naked Animals.

  • Do you ever have the feeling that you forget whether you watched a show or not?

  • @sega310982 I just got that feeling, or at least something similar. As I watched, I was taken from my seat and transported back to my couch in my old house as a kid on a Saturday morning, captivated. Every shot... every punch... I remembered all of it. I MEMORIZED this opening as a kid. It was just sitting there in the back of my brain, waiting for a massive wave of nostalgia to dislodge it...

  • This is the best Batman cartoon ever.

  • @Batmaaaan23 I second that

  • When I was a little girl, I always thought Batman and boy superheroes were just for boys, but when I was 5 and this cartoon premiered, I developed an instant crush on Batman and that's when I found out that boy superheroes esp Batman wasn't only fcr boyz!! Bruce Wayne is fucking HOT!!!!

  • Truly the dark knight rises.

  • THIS was an awesome series. I'm pissed that it didn't kick off as much of a trend of animated shows as it should have. Today's animated TV Shows (and really TV in general) suck ass.

  • @opszanski The problem is they're more strict with what's aimed at children nowadays. If anything this is the type of stuff that kids like! There was a reason I preferred this over Tiny Toons, Bobby's World and even TMNT.

  • The beauty of this show is that batman had natural human limits to his skills and force.

  • BAAAAAaAAAAAAAAAD

    ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • 1990s ftw.

  • joker stolen the item from inception now think if he kidnaped badman and then put him under i wonder what things would pop up in batmans mind with joker in it

  • I bought the first season of this show six months ago. It's a buy I'll never regret.

  • This opening was so awesome that you notice that at no point does it even say 'BATMAN'- because this IS Batman, everything great about him condensed into 1 minute of peerless animation and music.

  • Come watch my batman vid, I think you will be in for a Batty suprise >:D

  • anyone knows this takes place in the 1940s

  • @ESC8781 No, it doesn't take place during the 1940's.

  • It's very unrealistic that the front side of his body lights up when there is a lightning behind him.

  • The only place to catch this classic series on cable tv is The Hub. I recommend watching it in standard definition since the HD channel is zoomed in and showing a blurry picture. This is a Discovery channel, since they show SD content with very little black bars on each side.

  • my favorite episode of this cartoon was the creation of Two Face

  • @brodiebh easily one of the best episodes ever

  • Batman is mah pleasure

  • OMG! I remember This Series I have a dvd set of every episode!

  • I LOVED this Tim Burton inspired series!!!

  • this is back when cartoons were written by writers that know what the fuck the're doing(unlike tuff puppy fanboy and chum chum and lots of modern day cartoons but i'm not saying every show now is like that i do like some new cartoons)

  • Man, i just got chills the whole way through this :)

  • Hands down best Batman ever,,,,,,in terms of live action I love Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader but for me best Batman actor ever is easily Kevin Conroy thankyou Frank Miller for the Dark Knight Returns the awesome four part graphic novel which played a huge part on the influence of this awesome show "I am vengeance I am the night I am BATMAN!!"

  • @Dramactica Visual form/medium. Tomato/tomato. (no seriously, you mean visual form as in drawn in I mean medium as a way to convey something - they both fit). While that you're somewhat right, you're also looking exclusively at TV shows. By their nature, shows appeal to the mainstream, and as such have lower extremes. Really, Mr Dink (god I hated that show and his stupid weiner) and Mr Hell are the only two I can think of that didn't appeal to mainstream and were comics.

  • Fun fact:This series was based off of Tim Burtons Batman films,and Danny Elfman(The Music composer of the film)also made this animated series theme.

  • this is the real batman maaan , not that cheap corporate shit of today , heath ledger sucked as the joker...but i guess after brokeback mountain he was used to sucking in movies any way

  • This cartoon easily proved you could make an animated show, FOR CHILDREN, that could still be bad ass without becoming complete, utter garbage. It was action packed and beautifully animated and not for one second lacked in wit, intelligence, plot, and awesome characters. I guarantee I could still watch this show today, being 21 years old, and enjoy it just as much as I did 14 years ago because it's THAT GOOD.

    The industry really needs a facelift.

  • @TheHumanDirigible A facelift? More like demolished and rebuilt from the ground up.

  • Batman TAS is 100000000000000000000000000000­00000 times better then the stupid anime crap kids watch today.

  • The most EPIC cartoon opening EVEEEEEEEEEEER!

    

  • currently reading the Dark Knight Returns, Conroys voice is the one I hear when I read his dialogue

  • Look, I don't care if you're a fucking Jew, a goddamn spic, nigger, or other. Anybody can see what an ungodly unwanted piece of dirty garbage this is. I for one am glad it's cancelled. It sucks monkey fuck. It's a shit stain on the very fabric of nature. I'll never get over how fucking horrendous it is, and you people should be ashamed for thinking it's anything more than what I've described it as. You're all going to hell, and so am I, but I accept that, unlike you people.

    Final Fantasy is gay

  • @TheBulletDodgingMan Fail Troll is Fail Troll.

  • @Neane1993 Noob.

  • batman animated series is best than The New Batman Adventures shit.

  • @ELEMENTELITEYe

    they both are shit. grow up.

    

  • @Dramactica Why?

  • @ELEMENTELITEYe

    Because they are "CARTOONS". I don't know why people watching this when you could watch the film with real people.

  • @Dramactica You know why we watch Cartoons instead the film.Because we are true Batman fans and watching cartoon is sometimes the same entertainment as watching a movie.

  • @tylerdw100

    That's BS. It is still CARTOONS. kids stuff. cartoons and film are different.

  • @Dramactica lolwut? Cartoon's are kid's stuff?

    Don't let the anime people/cartoon lovers let you hear there. Cartoon is a medium (same with 3D, live actors, black and white, etc). A medium cannot be defined as "for something" (water is only for baking!) Heck, just thinking of it, mission hill and the obloongs are two shows I could not see kids really even liking (unlike ren and stimpy). Funny as hell if you're older though.

  • @GADefence

    I know cartoon (really, animation) is an illustrated visual artform (not a medium) but I don't see as an "artform". It doesn't matter it is kids or not, these shows have the same awful comedy crap with less wit and vulgarity. I know about and have watch obloongs but I feel like I watching horrible comedy of Modern Family. The only cartoon decent is King of the Hill.

  • @Dramactica No, you're wrong. Beavis & Butthead, South Park & Family Guy are cartoons but they're not for kids. So much for your logic. This was considered too dark and violent for kids and it's praised for it's mature and dark tone. And the reason people would prefer this over the movies is because the Animated Series was a proper Batman incarnation that had the best voice acting, visuals, story telling and it was very true to it's source material. Try reading a comic for once.

  • @MisterMeddle

    I don't read comics because it consider to be low entertainment than movies, fine art, music, etc. Beavis & Butthead, South Park and Family Guy are not cartoons in my eyes. More like crap with many of vulgarity and anti religious stuff. I had watch at least one scene on Batman:TAS and it wasn't even too violent or dark . If people prefer the cartooon, then why Dark Knight is the highest grossing films ever and critical acclaim?

  • @Dramactica If comics are considered as low entertainment then why is it that majority of the heroes from the novels are the most popular of our time? You should know that a single episode doesn't represent an entire season. Highest grossing film.... it means very little. It doesn't determine total ticket buys. Ticket price has gone up 50% in the past decade. How is a cartoon supposed to reach that level if it's not even shown in theaters but on television? Fail logic at its finest.

  • @Dramactica Thx, Hmm When was kid favorite Batman cartoon early 90 and Batman, return, Forever, and Batman & Robins good. I don't care cartoon suck when they Comic add movie film well. I don't like other new Batman cartoon 1998 Robins kid wtf. What were real Robin teenage about 5'7 tall than cartoon shit. Real Batman & Robins cartoon perfect.

  • @Dramactica Part Because Batman Begins shit My Favorite Arkham city real comic love and Batman Begins WTF Begins and Dark Knight Bruce been skinny. Real Bruce need Middle Fat/Muscle? srry. My Bad English I'm Deaf thank

  • @ELEMENTELITEYe TNBA isnt shit is almost entermain as TBA, quit hating on the character design.

  • EPIC BATMAN SERIES, AND EPIC MUSIC.

  • Yes...the One and Only, it is too long to comment, but I love it.

  • Best Batman thing ever.

    Dare I even say better than the movies.

  • Back when cartoons were cool and not complete shit like today.

  • @mrcheeta28 yea my lil bro sees ben10 and i was like dude !!! even teen titans were a 200 times better

  • @mrcheeta28 Was this the exact moment you realized you were now an old man talking about how everything was better back in your day?

    Granted, they never HAVE topped this show, but 90s cartoons weren't all good. You're just only remembering the good ones, and through a filter of nostalgia at that.

  • @infernalirk Lol sometimes it does make me feel older saying that, but its true that most kids cartoons these days are crap. Just to mention a few good 90s cartoons, there were animaniacs, tiny toon adventures, ducktales, bobbys world, ren & stimpy, spider-man among others. I'm not gonna say that every single 90s cartoon was good but there were certainly better kids cartoons in the 90s than today.

  • @mrcheeta28 Since then they've had Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Spectacular Spider-Man, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Duck Dodgers, Phinas & Ferb, Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorprated, and others. I think you'll find that when you look at our childhood programming and tehs ethrough the same eyes, you'll find kids today aren't as wanting for good cartoons as you might think. For one thing, they're Spider-Man cartoon was waaaay better.

  • @mrcheeta28 I'm truly grateful to have grown up in the age of cartoons like Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Fantastic 4 :) Justice League was a good show but they stopped that soon enough :(

  • @mrcheeta28 I like old cartoons and new cartoons.

  • @mrcheeta28 yes my friend this was back when cartoons were fucking awesome not crappy shit lke today!! This cartoons was just exquisite and stunning!!!

  • @mrcheeta28 xactly..! makes me feel nostalggic

    

  • thats the only batman series that i can see , the others hurt my eyes!

  • I bought all four seasons from amazon MSG me and let me know if you want me to upload episodes I will start from episode one season one and upload two full episodes a week IF I get enough responses.

  • @iWecoil Do It! lol please.

  • @iWecoil Do it, please!

  • @iWecoil

    I'd like that, I didn't watch enough of this show as a kid I'd love to see the series from start to finish!

  • @00tids00 I'm 19 and I bought all 4 seasons from amazon. Fuck yea!

  • still the very fuck*** best intro ever made!

  • This intro wasn't in every 'Batman: The Animated Series' episode, was it?

  • @Tardis5005 yes it was

  • @123multitasker Oh right, so it was. Damn it, I just downloaded this whole series and found out that most of the episodes are missing this intro! :(

  • @Tardis5005 i'm downloading episodes of Batman tas on Youtube

  • @123multitasker Nice! So, d'you mind if I subscribe to you, then? :)

  • @Tardis5005 go ahead subscribe! :)

  • im 21 years old now and i just bought the entire first season on itunes. FUCK YEA

  • I feel like a kid again watching this.

  • This animated series was far away of its time, really dark much alike the new batman and nothing to do with the 90' Batman.

  • We took the DCAU seriously because it took us seriously. It didn't try to dumb the things down or friendly it up.

  • Best opening of a cartoon ever made!

    And most bad ass series!

  • @MrConredsX you forgot about justice league unlimited

  • best anime opening ever!!!

  • this is one of my favorite animes ever

  • @BillbertoPerfecto its not a anime

  • @2SilentD Actually, several animators from japanese animation studio Sunrise did work on the series. So in a way, it does has a kind of anime flavour to it.

  • I LOVED this series as a child :D

  • If this was redone for modern day cartoons those guns would be squirt guns or them pointing at him...

  • In b4 guns were banned.

  • @OriginalFoxBox

    The made a come back.

  • They have to sell this on DVD. They just have to!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @LordCaoCao155 ...yeah, they do

  • @LordCaoCao155

    It's been out for like more than 5 years or so.

  • This and Batman beyond, greatest batmen to be batman since adam west

  • -Who would won GOD or Batman

    -Dude..... God wouldn't challenge someone, who can not be defeated

  • @megaarcher Only someone as stupid as you can like your dumb comment...!

  • Batman does not need sissy super powers to defeat his foes :)

  • I love how an orchestral remix of 0:47 plays after some fights in Arkham City. :D

  • Only kids show brave enough to throw punches and have someone hit with a live round.

  • @neocommenter Don't forget the drugs.

  • oh the nostalgia...

  • Brings back good memories as a kid.

  • you should check out my videos on batman

  • goosebumps

  • swag

    

  • 0:41 - THAT'S why he's called the Batman...

  • i love when he squints his eyes almost like hes saying you punks are going down something cheesy :P

  • i remember watching this as a kid just for the opening and my brother watched the rest of the show. now i just plain love batman and this series <3

  • HEY GUYS you wana watch all Batman TAS episodes or free?? then type in batman cartoon blogspot.com enter it and click the first link at the top then you'll be able to watch all youre batman episodes whitout it bieng taken of from you tube for copyright -_- And it's almost like you tube! Youll see what i mean whn you click it. :P

  • @sonicspindash31 Or just support the awesome series and get it all on DVD.

  • @Shadowjugement Yeah but that would just be waisting money wouldnt it? Why buy it while you can watch it for free at blogspot?Im not a troll/spammer btw just saying.

  • @sonicspindash31 Yes, its a total waste of money to support an amazing television show that gave so many people amazing memorys.

  • @Shadowjugement Oh so youre telling you can't supporting it by watching it for FREE? youre telling me that you can only support it by wasting youre MONEY? that what you telling me?

  • @sonicspindash31 How does watching it on some website online for free support it? Do the people who spent time and effort get anything from that? Any indication that people like there effort and would possibly think about doing more from the basis of the series?

  • @Shadowjugement Look to support the show you have to WATCH it that's all.And to watch it you have to buy it on dvd or watch it on television.But since it doesnt show anymore youre only option would be to buy it.But now there giving us a chance to watch the show for free.Wich means you can support the show whitout spending youre money and to make things even better you can comment on the video wich is also a way to support the series.Can you comment on the vidoes on youre dvd?

  • @sonicspindash31 Yeah, I can, to my friends and people I know. I can also comment on youtube on the intro, or awesome clips from the show. Even on forums and other places like that. Its the same thing as illegally downloading stuff. The people who made the show itself dont get anything from it. How would you feel if you made a tv show, but everyone just watched it online? No money to support the show from dvd sales, or tv views. So you wouldnt even know people like it.

  • @Shadowjugement Oh that's what you ment. but the creators still know we support and and apreciate all there hard work in this amazing show just by us watching it online.I mean that's most important thing after all isn't it? To watch it?

  • Top that Nolan!

  • #Memories

    

  • wow thats taking me back 10 years ago, even more

  • Best cartoon ever! They really captured the feel of Gotham, dark and intense.

  • I've seen every episode,also of Superman TAS. This is one of my favorite shows,in my top 5 for sure,probably top 3 actually.

  • @nintendude24 top 1 for me

  • Thumbs up comments suck(no matter what they talk about) and "i was sent here by" comments suck.

  • im here for the batman and always will be thumbs up if you like the bat

  • This is fucking classic

  • "Back in the day, when I was young, i'm not a kid anymore but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again."

  • This television series is what defined my childhood!!!! I'm sooo glad I'm an 90s kid!!!! :D

  • Still wondering how they came on top of the building so quickly 0:30

  • @appau3 Isn't it obvious? Their guns are actually grappling hook pistols. They just happen to have really sharp tips for stabbing things, too.

    Not that it'd help against Batman. He dulls points through his mere glare.

  • I uploaded these episodes of Batman tas onto my channel if anybody wants to watch them just go onto my channel!!!!

  • good times watchin this before school were did the time go

  • i'm here because of the goddamn Batman.

  • This is the best cartoon hands down. I used to be in a magnet program that held us after classes until 5:30pm back in elementary school. I skipped magnet classes to go home and watch this cartoon. LMAO No one suspected anything, because what elementary school student skipped class in those days? hahaha I just remembered that now.

  • This was better than batman eating nachos

  • SOMEONE HELP!!!!! what year were these?? i just remember watching them as a kid. i miss the shit out of them. i want to see if i can buy them somewhere.... i hope.

  • @velvetrosetulip  1992-1995.

  • I don't get why some people's mention My Little Pony on a Batman: The Animated Series opening? They're two completely different shows and they belong in their respective videos. I love both shows btw and I grew up watching B:TAS. No Batman cartoon can replace it.

  • @DOOMWC Because in a recent episode of My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic, some notes and cues of this Batman theme could be heard during a chase scene between Rainbow Dash and a masked superhero pony (who was a cross between The Shadow, Batman and Darkwing Duck)

  • @DOOMWC Because Batman is awesome enough to be a target of ponification ;p (which turns out quite funny and/or well done sometimes).

    ...or maybe simply people love them both, just like you do, and... well.... in some odd way feel the need to share that ;p

  • If only they made a show half this good focused on the Lantern Corps.

  • 0:33 Epic Face

    Don't look Marian!

  • thumbs up if i have a gay name

  • I would love to see this in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Dark Knight Rises. That zeppelin gives me the damn chills.

  • @maishman95z I agree, if they had the creepy zeppelins and the foreboding gothic atmosphere, like in the Arkham games, the movie would be perfect

  • My favorite Batman, I use to run home from school to watch this show everyday. The 90's was just awesome when it comes to entertainment.

  • AHHH ..Cartoon network is crazy now a days. BEN 10 vs Batman.. hmmm..i dont see the point

  • The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well sent me.
