- Batman: The Animated Series. With 1989's "Batman," Tim Burton and Michael Keaton brushed away the memories of the camp 1960s television series, but in 1992's "Batman: The Animated Series," show creator Bruce Timm excised them forever.
- The Sandman. Considering that adaptations of Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" had passed through development hell more times than its protagonist, Morpheus, has passed through actual hell, it was a surprise that this ever got made.
- The Boys. "The Boys" #1 was published by DC on their WildStorm imprint back in 2006 but was canceled by Issue #6. Uncomfortable with the anti-superhero nature of the title, they returned the rights to Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and the title found a new home with Dynamite Entertainment.

Out of all BTAS' villains, The Joker's episodes were often the funniest, with "The Laughing Fish" being no exception, but this one is a tad darker than The Alabastor Jester's typical outings. An episode that sees The Joker enact revenge against a copyright clerk who won't let him copyright Jokerized fish, the plot sounds goofy, but it may be one of...
Among the show's recurring villains, Josiah Wormwood does not have a home, but he does have a very overlooked episode under his belt. In "The Cape & Cowl Conspiracy," Wormwood, a master at creating elaborate traps, is hired by a wealthy baron in order to obtain the greatest prize on Earth...Batman's cape and cowl. Drawing influence from Detective C...
Mask of The Phantasm is often regarded as the best Batman film of all time, but few know it was based on a comic. Batman: Year Two by Mike W. Barr, Alan Davis, and Todd McFarlene is the less-beloved sequel to Batman: Year One, but it did serve as the foundational inspiration for one of the best Batman stories ever.

After an old rival of The Joker passes down his fortune to The Clown Prince of Crime, the villain retires and begins to make the most of his wealth, irking Batman to no end. Recreating a classic comic book story of the same name by Dav...
"Legends of The Dark Knight" is a love letter to the different eras of Batman. A group of kids walking around Gotham City share how they view The Dark Knight, with each having vastly different versions of the hero in mind. Though the story is loosely based on "The Batman Nobody Knows" by Frank Robbins and Irv Novack, the highlight of the episode is...

Ra's Al Ghul, leader of The League of Assassins, was a long-standing comic book villain by the time Batman: The Animated Series debuted, however, his multimedia presence was non-existentuntil "The Demon's Quest" debuted.

Very rarely did the creators of Batman: The Animated Series retell their own stories, but a very good exception was made with "Mad Love." Technically Harley Quinn's first comic story, the Eisner-winning comic by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm detailed Harley Quinn's origins and proved that her relationship with The Joker is both one-sided and abusive. Th...
Alan Burnett should be given a lot of credit, as it was his idea to adapt the idea that Two-Face had mental health issues before his scarring, but it is worth noting that the idea had appeared in the comics prior. Written by Andrew Helfer with art by Chris Sprouse, "Eye of The Beholder" showed that Harvey was a troubled man long before the acid hit...
Harvey Bullock was a highlight character of the show, so it makes sense that he got a spotlight episode, with "A Bullet For Bullock" being a hidden gem in the series' catalog. When a mysterious figure makes attempts to kill Bullock, he is forced to team up with Batman to investigate what's going on. "A Bullet For Bullock" is a fun and compelling li...
