The New Batman Adventures

The New Batman Adventures is an American superhero animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, and is a continuation of the 1990s Batman: The Animated Series. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and aired on Kids' WB from September 13, 1997 to January 16, 1999.

Plot
This animated series conveys the dark mood of the original "Batman" comic books. Unlike the light action "Batman" show of the 1960s, Gotham City's Caped Crusader, Bruce Wayne, is sometimes moody. And Robin's alter ego, Dick Grayson, has a more-mature personality than in the original series.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It was the successor to Batman: The Animated Series and follows the same good plots that you can see from the original show.
 * 2) Dick Grayson retiring the Batman family in order to become Nightwing along with Batgirl's death were really emotional to scenes proving that the show has contain some heartwarming moments.
 * 3) It shows the origin story of how Tim Drake became Robin.
 * 4) We get to see more interesting new villains the show has introduced, Poison Ivy being one of the examples of them.
 * 5) Well-done action fighting scenes as always.
 * 6) Nicely done theme song with better effects and better instruments to go along with it.
 * 7) We get to view a lot of other characters who aren't fully in the Batman franchise such as Superman making an appearance in this show which is really interesting to see.
 * 8) It spawned the TV series, Batman Beyond.
 * 9) The Scarecrow's redesign is both terrifying, and awesome.
 * 10) Great animation, which is a step-up from the original series.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Batman feels more like a villain than a hero in this show as he has committed a lot of crimes and is completely out of character.
 * 2) Dick Grayson punching Batman can be mean-spirited.
 * 3) Some of the redesign for the characters can be pretty bad, such as The Joker and Catwoman.
