A group of friends who have heard the stories of the Batman blunder into a battle between the caped crusader and Firefly in this clip from The New Batman Adventures, "Legends of the Dark Knight." Watch the series now on HBO Max.
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.
