The following is an episode list for the animated television series Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, and later The New Batman Adventures.

Batman: The Animated Series is an American animated series about Batman, the comic book superhero, which ran from 1992 to 1995 on Fox Network, and from 1997 to 1999 on The WB Network. It was later shown on Cartoon Network and currently plays on that network’s sister channel, Boomerang. It is based on Batman and associated comic book characters published by DC Comics.

Each episode is approximately 22 minutes long. For the second season it was renamed The Adventures of Batman and Robin, featuring Robin in almost every episode. Then in 1997, after the series was moved to The WB Network, the series was renamed again The New Batman Adventures, but this time it expanded its cast of regular characters, and largely redesigned its look.

Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures, although being different names, appear to be the same show, as the theme song and opening and closing credits are the same for both. There are a total of 109 episodes, along with multiple crossover episodes of Static Shock and Superman: The Animated Series.

The show was the beginning of what has become known as the DC Animated Universe, which consists of a series of six television shows and five films (one theatrical), largely surrounding DC Comics characters and their respective mythos. This includes Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, The Zeta Project, Static Shock, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

[edit] The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Season Two, 1994-1995)

Because of the success the show was enjoying, while the 65 episodes of the first season were still airing, the Fox Network executives ordered a second season of 20 more episodes. This time with more focus on Robin and with the series renamed as The Adventures of Batman & Robin.

The first episodes produced were shuffled with the remaining unaired episodes of the first season and aired daily. Then the network started airing the new episodes weekly on Saturdays and finally the last five episodes were aired daily.

[edit] The New Batman Adventures Season One (1997-1998)

Three years after the second season of Batman: The Animated Series was produced, the show was moved from the Fox Network to The WB Network, which was airing and producing Superman: The Animated Series. These shows were merged as part of an hour segment they called The New Batman/Superman Adventures. The WB Network wanted more episodes of the series, but with a different format and more focus on Batman's sidekicks, so two new seasons were ordered.

In addition to the networks demands, the producers decided to make the show match Superman: The Animated Series' graphic style, so all the characters and objects were redesigned as "animation friendly" with fewer lines. The show was renamed The New Batman Adventures (aka The Gotham Knights).

[edit] Superman: The Animated Series

Main article: List of Superman: The Animated Series episodes

Before The New Batman Adventures started airing alongside Superman: The Animated Series, a 3-part story had The Joker and Lex Luthor team up against Batman and Superman. This was later released on home video as The Batman Superman Movie and adapted into a comic book. Following Batman-related episodes were individual stories titled "Knight Time" and "The Demon Reborn."

[edit] Static Shock

Main article: List of Static Shock episodes

In parallel with their appearances in Justice League, Batman, and some of his supporting cast and villains also appeared in four episodes of Static Shock. While these episodes were actually made during the same time Justice League and Teen Titans were being produced, in the subjective chronology of the DCAU the first episode falls at the end of the Batman and Robin era, and internal dialog indicates that the second appearance takes place in the years between Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures. The last appearance takes place during the Justice League years.

Whilst the above production order is the official DVD episode order listings for the series, the following lists the episodes from the four Batman series alongside their respective theatrical spinoffs in chronological story order.

Batman: The Animated Series is a blanket term encompassing four series of television programmes about the exploits of The Dark Knight.

The first of these programs aired in 1992 and was called "Batman". When the show begins, Bruce Wayne's alter-ego is not known by Gotham PD and is initially considered dangerous by the likes of Commissioner Gordon. He has already taken up the mantle of the Caped Crusader and is protecting the streets of Gotham from a multitude of criminals and organisations including such prime members of his rogues gallery as Two-Face, Catwoman, The Penguin and The Joker. Whilst also introducing new characters such as The Joker's unbalanced Lover Harley Quinn, the series also reinvented long-forgotten Batman enemies such as The Mad Hatter and Mr Freeze whose own origin episode is considered one of the best. Batman and his Animated Adventures ran for 52 episodes before its finale on the big screen with "Mask of the Phantasm" in 1993 dealing with the past origins of the Joker, Batman's early years and a present threat to Gotham involving both of them.

The show returned in 1994, retitled "The Adventures of Batman & Robin". The second titular character of Dick Grayson was introduced in the first episode, the Emmy Award winning "Robin's Reckoning" and the series went from strength to strength. Ra's al Ghul returns to make good on his claim that it wasn't over from his minute long cameo appearance last season to appear four times and claim a spot high on the bat's gallery of rogues, whilst The Riddler makes his entrance alongside those returning from the first series. Robin is not the only new Gotham Knight in town when Barbara Gordon takes up her cape and cowl as Batgirl. By this time Batman is a legend known by all and has full, if not official, co-operation from the Gotham PD. The series ran for 34 episodes, this time its finale telling of the return of the Iceman himself, Mr. Freeze, in the feature length "Subzero" ending this second period of the dark knight in 1995.

Now a trio, the Gotham knights did not return until 1997's redesigned "New Adventures of Batman". Partnered with the then popular Superman Animated Series, the show kicked off with the cross-over pre-season special World's Finest, the long-awaited first meeting between The Dark Knight and his Metropolis counterpart The Man of Steel. As the series proper starts, time has passed and a middle aged Batman starts letting his wards take more of the limelight. Dick Grayson has passed on the mantle of the Boy Wonder to become Nightwing and Tim Drake has joined Bruce's Batman and Barbara's Batgirl as the new Robin to face both old and new foes. Running for just a year and 29 episodes, the show culminated in 1999 with the feature-length "Mystery of the Batwoman" where Batgirl yearns to leaves the cave and patrol the City on her own, setting the scene for the future and Beyond where both Batman and the new Robin would join the Justice League and leave the confines of Gotham to protect the entire world from evil alongside the likes of Superman, Wonderwoman and the Flash.

Interval. Justice League. Batman joins the Justice League: see List of Justice League episodes.

20 years ago Batman, as part of the Justice League, broke his oath and used a gun to stop a criminal; because of this he hung up his cape and cowl for good. Now in Gotham's crime-ridden future, isolated and alone, an aged Bruce Wayne sees that the city needs Batman once again but soon realises that he is too old to take up the mantle and sets out to find his replacement. Thus begins 1999's Batman Beyond and Terry McGinnis' reign as the Tomorrow Knight and his training under Bruce Wayne. The series lasted 52 episodes and McGinnis built up his own Rogues Gallery including his nemesis Blight, the seductive Inque, the confusing Curare and the street gang The Jokerz who take their inspiration from Batman's longtime archnemesis - whose final fate is not known - whilst also facing his mentors old enemies such as Mr. Freeze, Bane and the immortal Ra's al Ghul. The 53rd Tomorrow Knight adventure and 170th overall saw Batman II finally confront The Joker in the feature length Return of the Joker - but what has this all got to do with Batman's former allies Commissioner Barbara Gordon and the long lost second Robin, Tim Drake? The series finished in 2001 but this was not quite the end: there was just one more story to tell.

15 years later, Beyond is the Past and an adult Terry McGinnis patrols Gotham City as the one Batman. Bruce Wayne has deteriorated; close to his own end, he has one final lesson to teach the Tomorrow Knight, but he is going to need some help from the Justice League and some astonishing revelations about McGinnis' past. The epilogue to the entire Batman saga aired as a special one off episode serving as the finale to the Justice League series in 2005, after 14 years and 171 episodes of the Dark Knight.
