Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker of all time, change our minds... One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse

"A city trapped somewhere between 1932 and 1992" you described exactly what I miss about Gotham's true aesthetic.

This show gave Mr. Freeze his incredible tragic backstory, introduced Harley Quinn & brought in the definitive voices for Batman & Joker! Not bad for a kid’s cartoon lol.

Rest in peace Kevin Conroy. You were vengeance. You were the night. You were BATMAN.

Funny how the animated Batman was actually LESS cartoony than the Joel Schumacher films.

"The best joker ever. Yeah, i said it." You said it, i said it, we all said it.

RIP Kevin Conroy, we will never forget you no matter how many new Batmans come and go we will always remember you forever

"Character defining portrayals" Literally, in Harley's case. She was created for this series.

"I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman." Still gives me chills after all these years. Every time.

"They sell T-shirts of me, I've become a cliché" I want to see that line in a Deadpool movie

When Honest Trailers had almost nothing negative to say, you know you've done something right.

My favorite episode of this is when a nobody SEEMS to have killed Batman and the Joker falls to pieces in grief and holds a wake for him. They have Batman's cowl on which the Joker has put a "kick me" sign, all the while crying through the eulogy. It was awesome.

We need a compilation of Alfred’s sick burns.

“Gotham, it’s a city where the crime is up, the nights are long and the people are rectangles.” 🤣

Hands-down, the best, most nuanced, and ACCURATE depiction of The Dark Knight, outside of the comics themselves. The Paul Dini team should give lectures on their understanding of the Batman character. THEY GET IT. They understand WHY this character has been a cultural icon for 80 years. And quite right, it didn't 'dumb down' things to 'children's level.' It assumed kids' intelligence and their ability to deal with the darker story elements which sometimes came up. Great characters, great storytelling, great SHOW.

"Does this batman dance?" Me: No but he sings

Did you know if it wasn't for this series Harley Quinn wouldn't have existed? The writers of this show are the ones who created Harley Quinn. This show was so good the comic books had to copy off them.

Anyone who shot a gun in the animated series was trained by stormtroopers

Update: Kevin Conroy, the voice actor of Batman for 3 decades has passed away at November 10th, 2022. R.I.P for the man who voiced Batman and be part of our childhood.

Rupert Thorne's observation "The brighter the picture, the darker the negative" is still one of my favorite lines in all of everything.

The "Jim Gordon Scare" compilation was just pure gold, seriously, yes! Please stop haunting your one and only ally with actual authority!

This show did more character development for Batman, his side kicks, and all the villains, than all the movies combined. It will always be a treasured classic.

RIP Kevin Conroy. You had been a joy to listen to in my childhood. Indeed my most favourite portrayal of batman to date.

Now that I’ve finally watched the series, I can say without a doubt… Holy crap, that “terrible marksmanship” bit was right on the money. Seriously, some scenes the bad guys are shooting directly AROUND the completely stationary targets. It’d be funny if it weren’t so pathetic. Oh what the heck, I’ll laugh anyway. Still though, great show.

Batman suplexed an alligator. Your argument is invalid.

This series was so good, there is one scene in it that cemented batman as my favorite superhero. The Joker kidnaps one of batmans ladies and takes her to a warehouse where she is tied up and on a conveyor belt pulling into a big crushing machine. Batman stands between the joker and his exit, so joker gives him an ultimatum. "If you try to stop me she will die, if you save her I get away." So Batman smiles, and reaches out of frame to hit a switch and shut the power off. It was hilarious, and I loved the idea that that it was resolved by just paying attention to your surroundings and being smart.

Kevin Conroy's passing sent me here. RIP the voice of Batman.

man, drawing everything on black cels was genius. everything looks dark and moody but the lighting pops and the explosions look fantastic

Yea, it's so epic even honest trailers didn't have any real disses

Man the joker is easy to remember but seeing all these clips of the other villains makes me realize this show did such a fantastic job with all the villains

Rest In Peace, Kevin Conroy (the best Batman ever).

The artstyle and aesthetic of this series is unrivalled

"Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face, and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes... I'd kill for that."

Conroy and Hamill were born to voice Batman and Joker

Missed that joker burn on two face when says "Get out of my face clown" and he replies "Which one?"

"This Batman Forever" . YES!

One of the major reasons the Arkham video game series was so good, was because they based it primarily on this Batman universe, and not on many of the others.

My external drive broke and I lost almost all data from the last 8 years. But I didn't lose Batman the animated series and Avatar the last airbender, because I had them backed up.. Priorities.

Rest in peace kevin conroy the truly legend batman 😢

"This Batman is Forever" RIP Kevin Conroy.

Forgot to mention this series is what gave us Harley Quinn! First introduced and was so loved that she became canon, and the rest is history.

"The best Joker ever. Yeah! I said it!" And no one's disagreeing with you. We all agreed upon this years ago.

This cartoon is my childhood. It never gets old.

RIP to he who is vengeance and the night, Batman himself, Kevin Conroy 11/10/22

They should've titled the show: "Batman Animated: The Series" so the acronym would be BATS.

Harvey Dent: "Get outta my face, clown!" Joker: "Which one?"

"See DC, that's all we want. A definite portrait of a beloved character that balances multiple tones across dozens of hours that can only happen with a perfect creative team and lands at the perfect time in the cultural zeitgeist ." Couldn't have said it better myself.

2022 November. Kevin Conroy, legendary voice of Batman for over 30 years has passed away.

5:37 - This happens SO much that I find myself yelling at the screen, "Oh, come ON, Bruce!!!!" For all the good it does. I mean, he should have a gas mask in one hand CONSTANTLY....

woah woah woah, let's not hold the killing joke movie's sins against batman TAS. they're two _very_ separate things.

FUN FACT: this was the first appearance of Harley Quinn in any media. Also how the hell did they forgot about Nightwing?

Batman TAS is also the only place I have EVER seen a henchman smart enough to pretend he didn't see Batman.

RIP Kevin Conroy ...the true Batman.

I can just see Gordon sitting in a mental institution, shuddering and speaking to himself "he came out of nowhere. He was just suddenly there. Then disappeared again" over and over again D: Poor guy.

I remember running home from school as fast as I could just to catch the last 10-15 minutes of Batman Animated.

R.I.P Kevin Conroy

Watching in honor of Kevin Conroy aka THE Batman!

1:54 - Really? Come on. There were loads of sick burns to choose from there. Personally, I'd have gone with, "Sir, the police just received a call about a giggling, lemon-yellow maniac trashing a thrift shop. But *here's* the strange part..."

FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES THAT ANIMATED JOKER IS THE BEST ONE, NO CONTEST

RIP Kevin Conroy, you are dearly missed by so many. Thank you for being a part of our lives. And thank you to Honest Trailers and Epic Voice Guy for doing a marvelous job with this video. It made me chuckle and get all nostalgic.

I'm shocked I haven't seen this Honest Trailer until now. RIP Kevin Conroy.

Rocksteady used THIS version of Batman as the inspiration for their Batman Arkham games.

Before Teen Titans. Before Spectacular Spiderman. Before Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heros. There was Batman!

I always loved this show. Im glad it won an Emmy

THIS Batman, forever... RIP Kevin Conroy.😢

"Terrible Marksmanship" is the best statement of all.

Fun fact: Harley first appearance was on this series.

This show came out when I was 15 and obviously I never missed an episode. I was young and naïve and took it for granted. I always thought it was awesome because I liked Batman, however I know realize that I like Batman because it was awesome.

My favorite scene is when he interrogated the germaphobe holding a glass of supposed disease samples and goes “crimson fever, no cure you know.” And when he puts the jar down it reads “sea water.”

Say "I am vengeance. I am the night. I AM BATMAN!"

Anyone else remember the Grey Ghost episode, based on an older retired character that was Batman's inspiration? Anyone else remember Grey Ghost played by Adam West?

HANDS DOWN the best animated series EVEN over X-Men and I know that sounds crazy but this was an absolute masterpiece

RIP Kevin Conroy. The definitive portrayal of Bruce Wayne/ Batman

Fun Fact: Batman The Animated Series is actually Harley Quin's first debut in anything ever.

The GOAT of cartoons. Best joker. Best catwoman. Best Batman. Best poison ivy. Best Harley. Best storylines. I could go on forever.. 🤷🍿😩👑

: Rest in peace, the ultimate batman, Kevin Conroy

'That's so cute. You think you're scary. But mister, I've seen scary...And you ain't got his smile.' -Joker

Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker. Kevin Conroy is the greatest Batman. These two things were somehow even more awesome once they got into Justice League (the cartoon, obviously).

1:50 ""Butler of Batman, but King of SICK BURN""

Love the "terrible marksmanship" line, this could be applied to every evil henchman in every cartoon!

RIP Kevin Conroy

Notes on BTAS: 1. This show was really magical. 2. They used an orchestra for every episode. 3. Those guns? They called them "dark deco weapons" in the script to be able to slide them past the censors. 4. "Dark deco" is what they called the visual style of Gotham, which the comics then adapted FROM the show. 5. Adam West makes a guest appearance on the show as the washed up tv superhero. 6. Harley Q originated from this show. 7. The reason why Batman could launch so many bad guys off of rooftops is because they added an "after groan", which is a shot of the villain on the ground and groaning, showing he wasnt dead. (censors wanted it)

4:03 Batman predicted the Cats movie

rip kevin conroy 💔💔

RIP Kevin Conroy.

I grew up watching this batman and never thought about the intro in this way. Those two poor guys... Wrong place, wrong time

lmao the Commissioner Gordon "jump scares" are brutal when you edit them together like that, poor guy. Batman leave him alone!

When adult life doesn't quite work out the way you'd hope and everything seems hopeless and bleak... you can always come back to your childhood hero and it makes everything seem like it's going to be okay. Knowing Kevin Conroy isn't with us anymore... I can't explain how that makes me feel. In essence he was my childhood hero and now he's gone. Celebrity deaths never occur to me or even bother me in the slightest but his... I can't shake it.

Batman’s “OH” face is all I need in this world

You didn't mention the fact that they chose the creepiest way to kill people since they couldn't actually kill them..... with the giant smiles....

Couldn't stop laughing at the "Batman startling Gordon" montage. You think he'd give him a break at some point

Now we've lost two iconic Batmen! R.I.P Kevin Conroy

one of the best things DC ever did! after so many years ,from time to time, I still enjoy watching an episode of it. And yes, not only Mark is the best joker, all voices in general were awesome.

It just occurred to me: this show had guns. What other cartoon from that time shows bad guys trying to riddle people with bullets? Batman TAS was more badass then I realized.

Is it terrible marksmanship....or...hear me out....Mark Hamill brought a bunch of stormtroopers to DC?

only thing missing from this is the one clip where the circle was complete with adam west playing the grey ghost and batman going full fanboy

Rip Kevin Conroy

You can’t really hate this show it was amazing

Ahhhhh... '90s childhood. How I miss you.

Rest in peace to the king, Kevin Conroy
