Dracula" is actually even better than I remember.Įssentially the film succeeds at combining the superheroics of a Batman story and the horror elements of Dracula. So let's consider this "a midsummer's nightmare."

Overall, I consider "The Batman" the silver medal in terms of animated series that could serve as an introduction to Batman, even if didn't live up to its full potential in some areas. "The Batman" did a lot of revamps to the mythology of the character, with the results being a mixed bag some changes were done very well while others were iffy at best. I started rewatching the show on HBO Max and found it holds up mostly well. I myself haven't watched it in years, which is kind of a shame since this series played a part in reigniting my love for Batman in conjunction with the release of "Batman Begins" in 2005.

Unlike its predecessor though, "The Batman" has seemed to fall into obscurity. Nevertheless, the show acquired a following and lasted five seasons before ending in 2008. As the successor to the critically acclaimed "Batman: The Animated Series" (and by extension Batman Beyond), "The Batman" certainly had a tough act to follow. Its initial premise focused on a younger Bruce Wayne still carving out his path as a vigilante, facing some of his biggest villains for the first time and evading capture from the police. Premiering on Kids' WB! in 2004, "The Batman" was a different kind of animated series for the Dark Knight.
