"Beware the Creeper" introduced one of the more obscure, wackier characters in Batman's supporting and side cast of characters. In this episode, Jack Ryder (a reporter) gets tangled in a mess with the Joker that resulted in the latter exposing Ryder to his Venom and pushing him into the vat of chemicals. The dangerous amalgamation of chemicals turn...
Ventriloquist & Scarface are some of the more underrated Batman villains in the animated shows, and "Double Talk" presents them at their most compelling. Instead of the conventional villain breakout, this episode is a true success story for Arnold Wesker/Ventriloquist and a display of Bruce's compassion. Arnold himself isn't a villain, but his mani...
A classic episode across every animated Batman TV show, "Joker's Millions" is one of the standout episodes starring the animated series top supervillain. The animated shows starting in the '90s were in large part praised for being able to balance noir with the inherently whimsical nature of the superhero genre, and Mark Hamill's Joker is unsurprisi...
Scarecrow is another A-list Batman supervillain, and the episodes that focus on him as the antagonist are exciting to watch. In "Never Fear," Jonathan Crane develops a toxin that has the opposite effect than his usual one, i.e. it makes people devoid of fear. This, in turn, makes everyone affected completely carefree, reckless, and endangered given...
"Growing Pains" is one of the most emotionally resonating and bittersweet episodes of The New Batman Adventures, and it's a good benchmark for how to write effectively. Robin and Batman discover a mysterious young girl around the former's age who seems to have no recollection of who she is, tentatively named Annie. A man claiming to be her father h...
Batman has been a beloved and popular superhero for over 80 years now, and "Legends of the Dark Knight" serves as a celebratory episode of that history in a meta way. Here, a group of children gathers together to recount their alleged encounters with the Batman, all through the lenses of the different comic book "ages." RELATED: 10 Reasons Dark Vic...
In "Judgement Day," a mysterious and borderline ethereal new vigilante dubbed the "Judge" goes on a spree of dealing his own brand of justice on criminals. He attempts to play judge, jury, and executioner, and Batman gets involved to try and stop him before he goes too far. Throughout the episode, he hits a list of notorious rogues including Pengui...
Dick Grayson left as Robin after falling out with Bruce, and "Old Wounds" explores that troubled relationship. Dick tells Tim about his final days as Robin, when he became frustrated at Bruce's callousness toward Dick's private life and the way he treated a Joker henchman in front of his family. He leaves after growing angry with both Batman and Ba...
While the "it was all a dream" trope is tired out, "Over the Edge" did well in selling a shocking story with the cast in dire straits. After an attempt to thwart Scarecrow goes sideways, Barbara/Batgirl apparently dies and their identities are exposed. This sends Gordon on a revenge-ridden crusade against Batman that has the former even enlist Bane...
Another classic, "Mad Love" is mostly a Harley story. After another Joker scheme is foiled, Harley goes on to try and kill the Bat herself to prove her "worth" to him. Harley nearly has an epiphany that Joker treats her brutally and that should've continued her career as a psychiatrist before ultimately misplacing her frustrations on Batman. She ef...
- Mad Love - 9.4 (Harley Quinn's Origin Story) Over the course of the past decade, thanks to the animated series Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie's portrayal across the DCEU, and several spinoff comics that re-contextualize the character for modern audiences, Harley Quinn herself has grown immensely popular as of late.
- Over The Edge - 9.3 (Gordon Tries To Kill Batman) On the surface, "Over the Edge" is the most high-stakes episode of the entire series. Not only does Commissioner Gordon finally discover Batman's true identity, he does so after Batgirl dies and learning she was his daughter the whole time.
- Old Wounds - 8.9 (Robin Becomes Nightwing) The old, classic Robin gives the new Robin—Tim Drake—a pep talk on why his and Batman's relationship had become strained in recent years and what moment finally convinced him to fly solo as Nightwing.
- Judgment Day - 8.7 (The Judge Arrives) "Judgment Day" is a significant episode for a number of reasons, beyond even its central plot. Although it aired as the ninth episode during the show's second season, this was actually the final episode to be produced for the show before it was canceled.
Pros: The voice acting is superb, Kevin Conroy is the embodiment of Batman and always has been. Mark Hamill brings menace and gravitas to the Joker. There are some effective villains too, Penguin, Nightwing and Scarecrow were the best ones for me.
