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

Rating: - The Animated Series-Revamped
I am a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series.Although this is the 4th & last volume of the set, I bought this one first.I think I missed this series during its original run but I've seen Batman TAS & can still watch it on the DXD channel.

Batman: The Animated Series was a wonderful show for both kids & adults.It had amazing animations, stellar voice actors, & great storylines.This show just doesn't hold up when compared to its predecessor.The voice acting is as great as ... Read More
Rating: - Different Animated look, same old Batman!
The deep in seasons you go the better the episodes get and after years Batman was reinvented when he went along side Superman, and in his new look, he is better than ever.Streamlined and allowed to bleed once again gives this Batman a harder realism and the stories push the Dark Knight to the limits of fun and epic heroic glory.This last season of Batman I'm sorry to say is the last season because it was so good I just wanted it to keep going.A must have if you have the other three seasons, ...

Rating: - ...listen to this...
I own all four seasons of this show, i bought them separately.BUT, does anyone know why there is an episode not included in this 4th season? It's missing... An episode where Ras al Ghul puts his soul into his daughter Talhia, which is later revealed to batman in the show, when her lips move it's his voice that u hear ...Does anyone remember this episode on TV ?I do! I've seen it!

Other than that this is great! I watch it all the time!
