The fourth and final volume of Batman: The Animated Series is a little uneven but still encompasses some great episodes.Start with "Over the Edge," a nightmarish scenario in which Commissioner Gordon dedicates himself to hunting down Batman following the death of his daughter, Batgirl."Critters" is a tribute to Japanese monster movies, "Mad Love" recounts the origin of Harley Quinn, and "Legends of the Dark Knight" animates both a '50s-styled Batman adventure as well as a scene from Frank Miller's Return of the Dark Knight.This run of 24 episodes has a lot of Batgirl, too little Nightwing, and a lot of the new Robin, Tim Drake, whose origin is explained in "Sins of the Father."Drake gets a mostly solo adventure, Batgirl teams with Supergirl, and there's still a sense of fun, with goofy humor that includes an appearance by the Three Stooges as the Joker's henchmen.Guest voices include Sela Ward as Calendar Girl and Tippi Hedren, and Mark Hamill continues the excellent work as the Joker that created some early rumors about his taking the live-action role in the sequel to Batman Begins.By this time, Batman had become part of the Batman/Superman Hour, so viewers can choose the opening sequence for either that or the original animated series.That, as well as the unbalanced number of episodes in the seasons (e.g., the first season of the animated series was 60 episodes), is why Batman: The Animated Series was released in volumes rather than as single-season sets. --David Horiuchi

- The weakest in the series
Batman: The Animated Series is a great show in its own right. The New Batman Adventures (Volume 4) is good, but not really that spectacular.
For one thing, the animation has been changed, so that it looked similar to the Superman animated series that ran along with it. Some parts of the animation has improved, but the redesigns of the characters can't cut it. I hate the way the male and female anatomies are in stark contrast: the men are tall and muscular, and the women are short and ... Read More
Rating: - HALF GOOD
I love Batman TAS but The New Batman Adventures is just not as good. So lets just get to the point. The new batman adventures takes place in the same continuity as Batman TAS so just think of it as a sequel to Batman TAS. There are 24 episodes in this volume. I only enjoyed 13 episodes out of the 24. The 11 eleven remaining not so much, because either they were disappointing or just plain awful. Some bad episodes are, Critters, Beware the Creeper, Mean seasons, and the list goes on.

Rating: - The End of an Era
Two years after the end of Batman: The Animated Series, the show was revived as The New Batman Adventures, which encompasses the 24 episodes on this set.By the time the show returned, it had lost a couple of key creative people, and the entire look of the series was reconceived in a more angular fashion.The real life break was mirrored in the series' chronology, meaning these episodes take place 2 years after the events of the last set.
Evening knowing all this, the transition from ... Read More
