Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)

The second volume to Batman The Animated Series was even better than the first. With more in depth storylines and more flowing animation, it seems like the success of the first season gave the initiative to blow everyone away with the second. A definate buy for ALL Batman fans. So get it, now!!

I think this is the best set of Batman the Animated Series episodes. It has several outstanding episodes, with "Almost Got Him"- an ensemble episode with most of the first line villains, "The Man Who Killed Batman"- a funny episode with a little bumbler, The Joker at his funniest and scariest for this series, and a seemingly dead Batman, "Zatanna"- an origin episode, a lot of Harley Quinn, and overall great variety. There are no duds on these discs, and I think this set on the whole explored the villains with the most zest. If you are only buying one packaged set, I would go with this one. But I think the whole series is worth having.

When I was a kid I would wake up on Saturday morning to watch BATMAN, and I loved it. Now that I'm an adult I love that I'm able to share this great and pioneering series with young people (and just sit and watch it myself). This was a cartoon that did not feel like a cartoon. Each show is like a small movie, and as the series got older the better the animation got, the better the acting got and the better the action an stories. Overall: great fun for kids of all ages!

After the absolutely stunning run of action cartoons in the 80's, the 90's were suffering from a serious backlash against "violent" programming and there were no exciting cartoons left on the air.
That is until this absolute masterpiece of a cartoon series began airing in 1992. This series hit the ground running with astounding story-telling and a dynamic visual style that was brought off with a new animation technique that was developed specifically for this show.
Stylistically, the show is set in a 1940's art-deco esque Gotham with a modern twist that is perfectly accented by the noir-film style that each episode is produced with. The story telling is dark and exciting, yet never too violent or scary for young-ones (no blood etc.) and the writers absolutely nailed the character of Batman and his cast of Rogues who are brought to life with astounding voice acting.
If you like Batman, this is the best television series/DVD collection they have made to date.
This second season collection includes the classic episodes: Perchance to Dream, Night of the Ninja, Day of the Samurai, Joker's Wild, and the fan favourite Almost Got 'im which features Joker, Two-Face, Penguin, Poison Ivy, and Killer Croc. all discussing the time they came closest to getting the Bat. A MUST HAVE for Batman fans!

Batman the Animated series is probably the best animated show to be released which makes it a must own for adults and kids alike. This season especially since it includes "Almost got Im" which is the finest episode the show made. Plus the featurette on the voice actors is great. Buy this with confidence.
