Product Description:
In the hit show that continues the Batman storyline from the EmmyO-winning Batman: The Animated Series two years have passed and Batman still protects the streets of Gotham City from the demented criminals that inhabit its dark alleys. But irreconcilable differences with Dick Grayson lead to the collapse of the Batman/Robin crimefighting duo and to the birth of Gotham's new hero Nightwing. Batgirl fights at Batman's side and a new Robin takes flight after Batman's chance encounter with young Tim Drake. In these 24 thrilling episodes the Gotham Knights face their worst enemies - Joker Penguin Mr. Freeze and many more - in a comprehensive 4-disc set that completes the Batman animated saga!Running Time: 521 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 012569688018

Amazon.com:
The fourth and final volume of Batman: The Animated Series is a little uneven but still encompasses some great episodes. Start with 'Over the Edge,' a nightmarish scenario in which Commissioner Gordon dedicates himself to hunting down Batman following the death of his daughter, Batgirl. 'Critters' is a tribute to Japanese monster movies, 'Mad Love' recounts the origin of Harley Quinn, and 'Legends of the Dark Knight' animates both a '50s-styled Batman adventure as well as a scene from Frank Miller's Return of the Dark Knight. This run of 24 episodes has a lot of Batgirl, too little Nightwing, and a lot of the new Robin, Tim Drake, whose origin is explained in 'Sins of the Father.' Drake gets a mostly solo adventure, Batgirl teams with Supergirl, and there's still a sense of fun, with goofy humor that includes an appearance by the Three Stooges as the Joker's henchmen. Guest voices include Sela Ward as Calendar Girl and Tippi Hedren, and Mark Hamill continues the excellent work as the Joker that created some early rumors about his taking the live-action role in the sequel to Batman Begins. By this time, Batman had become part of the Batman/Superman Hour, so viewers can choose the opening sequence for either that or the original animated series. That, as well as the unbalanced number of episodes in the seasons (e.g., the first season of the animated series was 60 episodes), is why Batman: The Animated Series was released in volumes rather than as single-season sets. --David Horiuchi

- Best Batman series
We couldn't stop watching this! If our kids watched an episode without us, we'd have to go back and watch it by ourselves. Great series with really interesting characters. This is a must for any Batman fan!

- New To Batman The Animated Series
I just learned of Batman The Animated series in 2007 and rented the first two volumes through Netflix. They were so good I bought volumes three and four from Amazon. I was terribly disappointed in volume four, because the animation is no where near the quality of the first three volumes, so visually it is not as good. Gone are the shading, shadowing and face definition that made the first three volumes so pretty and compelling to look at. The new format of telling a story fastpaced in 15 minutes takes some getting use to, however would have been ok had the visuals not been compromised. The new Robin is a child and the idea of a child being able to be effective after seeing the young man Robin, took a leap of faith. The one good thing about this set is that the voices remained the same. Unfortunately, I could not get past the third show in this volume and cannot recommend this set.

- Great Final Episodes to a 90's classis
Now a days they have all these revamped cartoons of Batman and others... I personally will always enjoy these that started in the early 90's because they have more of a real life feel with a kid's touch for viewing so old and young can enjoy. The new ones are way too cartoony and takes away from the real life feel to it. I mean have you seen how they updated the new joker for the new Batman series I find it strange. I guess it depends what era you grew up on and these were it. I highly recommend this final box set to the 90's series. I will always go back and watch them with my kids.

- Batman In Japan
Warner Brothers did this season of the famous Batman animated series as a Japanese anime. For the most part, it is a great season. The reason? Cos it was kind of like Doctor Who, in that it didn't have too many floppy episodes, but even when it did, they didn't necessarilly suck. But looking at some of the great ones, you can't help but love the good storylines and superior animation. The Joker was funnier, the Penguin wasn't always out for crime, and the Scarecrow? A heck of a lot scarier than ever before. Overall, this and Volume One are my favourite seasons of the series.
