Enemies, friends, frenemies and more. Batman and Catwoman have been opposing forces and love interests for decades. Here are their best moments from The Batman, Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: The Brave and the Bold!
The Batman is a 2004 Warner Bros. animated TV series based on the DC Comics character of the same name.
Rebooting from the highly successful Batman: The Animated Series is a daunting task but this 2004 revamp for DC's Dark Knight boldly struck a significantly different tone and style from its highly regarded predecessor. Rino Romano stars as Batman, with Jerry O'Connell voicing Nightwing and Kellie Martin as Oracle. Other notable voice talent included Mitch Pileggi, Edward James Olmos, Ming-Na Wen, Ron Perlman, Clancy Brown, James Remar, Gina Gershon and Brandon Routh.
The series was developed by Michael Gougen and Duane Capizzi for Kids WB, though the show eventually moved to Cartoon Network.
The series ran for five seasons and included the spin-off movie Batman Vs Dracula.
Batman: The Animated Series is the 1992 Fox Kids animated TV series based on the DC Comics character Batman.
The series represents a wildly-successful interpretation of Batman. Bruce Timm became a household name with his bold, noir-inspired animation style. The show was set in a stylized Gotham city and featured faithfully-executed refurbishment of the Dark Knight mythology that was simultaneously modern and classic.
Kevin Conroy's voice work as Batman is one of the favorites among fans, as is Mark Hamill's take on The Joker. The series is noteworthy on many levels, but especially for introducing the character of Harley Quinn (voiced by Arleen Sorkin) into the Batman mythology.
The show ran for three years and enjoyed many highlights, including four Emmy Awards.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a 2008 animated TV series teaming Batman with one or more other characters from DC Comics each week.
Developed for Cartoon Network, the show was a pivot away from darker, serious takes on the Dark Knight detective. Instead the series provided copious humor mixed in with stories that emphasized the high-adventure to be found in superhero comics, over the more grounded stories of the films and recent animated shows. Even Batman's costume design evoked the 1960s Batman live-action show. The gave fans the loutish, barbarian-king take on Aquaman, which has become the character's signature in recent years.
Diedrich Bader voiced Batman. He was joined by a rotating cast of guest voices including John DiMaggio as Aquaman, Paul Reubens as Bat-Mite, Henry Winkler as Ambush Bug. Even Kevin Conroy and Adam West made guest appearances.
The show ran on Cartoon Network for three seasons and spawned a direct-to-video movie sequel that teamed Batman with Scooby Doo.
