However, that would prove NOT to be the end of B:TBATB!Įarlier this year (2018), Warner Bros. Sadly, the series ended prematurely after only 3 seasons, though they kinda went out kicking and screaming (watch the final episode, “Mitefall!” to see what I mean!).Īpparently, the powers that be thought it was time for another “dark and serious” animated Batman series - that would end up being the very underrated BEWARE THE BATMAN - so the rug was pulled out from under B:TBATB. No, just a lot of winks, nods, and Easter eggs to just about, well, everything Batman. Not anything sketchy like sexual innuendo (which was all over the 1960s live-action BATMAN series) or anything like that.

Back in 2008, I got a DVD from Warner Bros.
