Fans of ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ should seek out the new DC animated series, which just premiered on Amazon.
remains the gold standard for comic-book cartoon series — not just for Batman himself, but really any superhero. While the original show ceased production in the mid-90s, it spawned continuations, spinoffs, sister shows, expansions, and then a whole DC Animated Universe that borrowed from debuted on Fox Kids in 1992, it looked like nothing else on children’s television. In 2024, a lot of superhero animation mimics its gritty tone and moody style.
Replacing the late, great Kevin Conroy as the Dark Knight is Hamish Linklater, who provides a vocal performance in a similar register: A grim and guttural Batman that serves as an aural disguise for the chipper and cheerful Bruce Wayne. Batman himself is reasonably recognizable from the earlier show, and mostis in its treatment of the title character’s rogues gallery.
The premiere stars a female version of the Penguin ; the second offers a twist on Clayface; the third includes both a new Catwoman , reconfigured as more of a kind of dark mirror image of Bruce Wayne, and a first glimpse of psychiatrist Dr. Quinzel — better known to DC fans as Harley Quinn. Lurking in the background of all these episodes is Harvey Dent, who will inevitably become the psychotic Two-Face, but at this point in the series is merely an excessively ambitious district attorney.
Of these three episodes, I would say the pilot was perfectly fine, the third was solidly good, and the middle episode was absolutely outstanding, and certainly on par — both in terms of the writing and the dynamic visuals — with anything produced in the original run of Without spoiling too much of its plot, this particularly stellar episode, “And Be a Villain,” finds Batman in full-on detective mode, investigating the disappearance of a famous movie star with the help of the Gotham City Police Department’s Renee Montoya .
