By Mark Lynch
These 5 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series are the perfect way to celebrate on Batman Day.
Batman: The Animated Series is widely regarded as the best comic book cartoon of all time. Considering the competition, that’s a major compliment. It’s going up against two separate Justice League cartoons, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the X-Men, and more.
It’s been over 25 years and the show still holds up. In some ways, it’s gotten even better. The content was appropriate for kids, but much of the subject matter it tackled was mature. A perfect combination that leaves the show timeless.
On Batman Day, we can celebrate the Caped Crusader in many ways. Most will undoubtedly revisit some of his greatest comic book adventures. However, if you’d prefer to revisit some of his on-screen adventures, this writer suggests that you sit back and watch some classic episodes of Batman: The Animated Series.
We know about episodes like “Heart of Ice”, “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?”, and “Beware the Gray Ghost”, but there is also plenty of other episodes that sometimes get forgotten among the greatness. Here are the best five underrated episodes you should check out as we celebrate the Dark Knight’s day.
