The New Batman Adventures

Episode Guide

Theme Song

Superman: the Animated Series continued to expand to world that Paul Dini and Bruce Timm had created in Batman: the Animated Series, but their style was changing. The designs were getting simpler and more streamlined for ease of animation. The characters look more angular, playing down the realism and defining the now famous Bruce Timm style.

So when new episodes of Batman: the Animated Series were to be made for the brand new Kids!WB Network, the decision was to give the whole series an overhaul. It took place in the same continuity as the previous series, but the characters were all giving a new design.

Batman traded blue cape and cowl for a black one, Robin, now Tim Drake, shed his green tights and the Joker lost his red lips.

Batgirl and Nightwing rounded out the main cast, further pushing Batman into a team player, and all of the villains returned for another round with the Caped Crusader. A few new characters made it into this series as well, Firefly, Calendar Girl, Roxy Rocket and the Creeper.

The New Batman Adventures was paired with the second season of Superman: the Animated Series in a one-hour programming block called the Batman/Superman Adventures.
