Its very simple why the theme is so AWESOME : composer DANNY ELFMAN. Download the soundtrack from BATMAN 1989 and you will see that all songs are allmost exactly like this one. Darked themes.
I've started recording this on DVR. I remember watching this after school and I honestly never knew how adult and dark the themes were in this show. It's true that some things get better with age.
This is the best cartoon DC/Warner ever put out. EPIC!!! Well, except for the "There's a Batman in my Basement" episode with those dumb kids...LoL. I remember having to wait for other crappier cartoons to end before this came on. I would kill to be back in those days when this first aired again.
@lenzino7383 i agree, there was so many epic cartoons, I mean Batman: TAS, SWAT Kats, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Rocko's Modern Life, Dexter's Laboratory, Rugrats, Doug, Powerpuff Girls, etc. CLASSIC stuff!
@AToxicOrange Wow, I'm so glad you skipped out on giving me a well thought out point of view on why you disagree with me and went straight for the insult. You're so cool!! :)
@lenzino7383 Because there's no well-thought out point of view to give you. You're just a moron, flat out. It's not like if you're born after the end of the 90s, you can't grow up on these. They didn't magically stop existing. I hate people from the 90s thinking they're so much better because they were able to watch this first-run, and it's "better" than the cartoons now. Guess what? Kids from the 80s thought our cartoons were shit too, so just stop.
@AToxicOrange Sigh. There's always some overly sensitive user on every comment thread on youtube that has to be a buzzkill and start something. Like my comment was so offensive and there weren't other users that said things worse like "these cartoons today suck" etc. There was nothing in my comment that suggested I was better than anyone, so stop making a big deal out of nothing! The fact is you don't agree, fine, so get over yourself and why don't "you" stop. Thanks! ;)
@lenzino7383 That's just it though, there's no reason to say it's a shame kids now can't grow up with these things. They can. To say otherwise is to imply you're somehow better or something because you were part of "the first wave"
This is my shit right here, I am glad I grew in the 90s unlike today all cartoons are a joke and shit. Superman batman thundercat. Gosh i do miss the 90s turning into fox kids every day 4.pm after school. Spiderman the animated was thr best love all these shows along with freakazoid. Smh good old days.
I also used to thought think that this series was meant to take place after the first two films (and that the show simply ignored that the Joker and Penguin both died in the films). Especially since the Joker and Penguin were both treated as already established characters when they first appeared on the show.
not only does this hold memories for me when i was a kid in the 90's coming home from school and watching this show, but the music to this day is AMAZING. danny elfman is amazing, im a huge fan of hus music scores and batman is still my favorite. i love how they carried over tim burtons batman world into the cartoon and kept the movie theme. B89 + Batman Returns + BTAS = AWSOME!
The only thing that could've made this ending better is if they'd used that male choir theme song they use sometimes, like at the end of Mask of the Phantasm.
I would rather the whole animated series to this than any live Batman movie made..u might disagree but i dont care...this show was the shit when i growing up..if they have the series on dvd i would buy them all. including the spiderman animated series.
We need to put this show back on the air and save the next generation of kids from the mindless torture that Disney Channel, 4Kids, CN, and Nick has become. The cartoons of today have no plot, no morals, and no good animation. They are just there to make kids stupid. Have kids watch this and they will know what a cartoon series really should be.
@gurneyman100 Everything is toned down for kids nowadays - less violent, more gender balanced, less adult, less intelligent, more PC - it's a sick patronising joke and I feel so sorry for them.
@gurneyman100 Yes, I had (and still have) to suffer through the terrible children's programmes on T.V . As soon as I discovered BTAS, I never looked back.
@gurneyman100 On the other hand, this is a series with complex emotional plots which-ah, screw it, this show developed my mind more than school ever could.
@gurneyman100 the cartoons of our childhood and im a teenager that is in knowledge of the real cartoons this GREAT show was up in the last years of 1990's and early 2000's
@simonsays645 Exactly. Psh I was a kid and I watche dthis and turne dout ok. Granted I have to savagely beat up people every five seconds but other than that i'm relatively ok.
Listen it on the credits for the episode "The Clock King", it's the same music, but with some slight differences, like if it is a "remix" or "alternate version".
I hate it how cartoons are not this great anymore...maybe 'cause they are made by idiots that think it's popular and funny...when actually it's stupid and lame.
between 0:20 to 0:28 its a priceless note because it been stuck in my head since I was a little kid. I remember when batman used to finished at 5:00 Pm on fox kids lol the wonder years used to come out at 5:00 PM (FOX CH11) lol

@TheNewEmphinix jeeze im geting sick of those nostalgic morons who always say that the past things were better, that is NOT entirely true, YES this batman is to be awesome when i was watching it as a 9 year old kid... and nowadays there are anime (japanese based) which have evolved to a whole new level... so in essence the past had its glory and still has it but time goes on and change has to take place. Newer is sometimes better
@MALDASF nah 23 years old, naruto and bleach are indeed my favourite anime and mangas, don't see what age has to do with it... are you going to tell me that DBZ is also crap? we all have different taste buddy
@MALDASF 'one of those kid that want to be japanese anime suck balls...' try to make some fucking sense will you. In regards to the mangas/animes they are taking over, due to the simple fact that they are simply more entertaining to watch. Now if you don't agree, then it's your opinion, you can go back to power rangers and spiderman none really cares
It suck end of point weebo go watch your stupid naruto with story and filters and dress like one and plus Spider-man is more famous then crappy ass Naruto and Bleach.
Yes, people get carried away with nostalgia and always think that everything in their time was better and everything now is crap.
However.
As far as animation in the US goes, the mid 1980s through maybe thearly 2000s ARE now referred to by many in the animatin industry as the "2nd Golden Age." (The first being from the '30s thru the '50s, followed by a long, dark period of decline in the 60s and 70s). Creative freedom was flourishing and old restrictions just collapsed.
It wasn't ahead of its time at all. If anything, it was sort of a return to tradition, since it owed so much of its inspiration to the 1941-44 Superman shorts from the Fleischer Studios. But what this show did was smash, once and for all, a lot of the stupid rules and restrictions that had weighed down children's TV since the mid-70s, keeping any real drama or action from being shown. In that regard it was a real breakthrough, and a LONG overdue one.
man it's been sooo many years since i used to watch this after school, and i still feel a twinge of "aww man, the episode is already over?" when i hear that opening fanfare. such a great score on this show.
When I was real little, I got a new pair of Batman shoes with that picture on the box. My dad liked it so much that he cut out the picture and had it framed. And my dad rarely liked anything so outwardly.
That picture rocks, I had it as my wallpaper for a while. In one episode, called "The Grey Ghost", who is the inspiration to Batman according to this series. Batman has a poster of him!
My favorite ending episode before the credits was when you see Ra's Al Ghul's hand comes out from the pit and he starts laughing evilly again.
