The Hollywood Reporter has an oral history of the classic TV show: “As a kid, I had a very conservative Irish-Catholic upbringing. So when Bruce Timm asked me what I knew about Batman, I immediately mentioned the TV show and he screamed, ‘No, no, no! That’s not what we’re doing. Erase that!’ ” says Conroy. “He explained the dark, noir story and Bruce’s vow to his parents which leads to the dual identities. It was sort of Shakespearean tragedy, so I approached it like you would Hamlet or Edgar in King Lear.” I was on a podcast talking about this show a few months ago, it really does hold up.

Been rewatching a lot of cartoons. Batman holds up the best. The Real Ghostbusters has been fun, but it isn't even close.
Agreed 100%, especially with the Mask Of The Phantasm part, it really could be the best Batman film ever made.
This show is beautiful to look at and the animation is phenomenal. Conroy and Hamill are Batman and Joker to me.
Been sporadically re-watching the whole series during 2017. MotP just got a blu-ray release, so hopefully this series gets one eventually.
hulu is where it's at for all the 90's cartoons. The Spiderman cartoon is on there, Hey Arnold, Batman, among many others.
Watched Batman Beyond episodes in the last year or two for the first time in ages and I was shocked how much they came back to me as I watched. I think I'd underestimated how much of that show I'd watched, and how well you can remember tv from childhood (much like music).
Still my favorite TV show ever. This is also one of my prized possessions: BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES Vinyl Box Set
