Batman: The Animated Series is widely considered one of the best pieces of Batman content ever made, but it certainly isn't without its faults.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Batman: The Animated Series is widely revered as not only the best animated Batman show, but one of the greatest stories featuring the character of all time. Borrowing a gothic style from Tim Burton's 1989 classic Batman, the DC series captured what many fans consider to be the definitive version of Bruce Wayne and his adventures.
It's hard to blame any show for having bad episodes, especially after going for 85 episodes like Batman: The Animated Series did. For every ground-breaking installment like "Almost Got 'im" and "Over The Edge", there was a terrible episode like "Underdwellers" and "Forgotten".
Jason Todd is known for being killed by the Joker in the comics, eventually returning as the murderous anti-hero Red Hood. Considering the darker tone of Batman: The Animated Series and its spin-offs, the missed potential for this storyline is hard to ignore in the face of the childish jokester, Tim Drake. The series had even explored the possible death of Batman's sidekicks before with the fake out of Batgirl's death, meaning that such a plot was on the table for the cartoon.
Many of Batman's nemeses in the show are mentally unwell, and sometimes even sympathetic, existing with real-world disorders that the show portrays as villainous traits. The likes of Two-Face and The Ventriloquist stand out as particularly bad examples of representations of mental illness, their Disassociative Identity Disorder being implied as the reason they commit crimes.
