9.0
Is it really that good
shareAbsolutely. This is one of my favorite shows along side South Park, Breaking Bad, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Detective, Rick and Morty, Futurama, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks. And this isn't coming from somebody who grew up with the show. The 9.0 rating didn't just a bunch of people who grew up with Transformers who are super nostalgic about it. I didn't grow up this show. I discovered this show much later. It's utterly fantastic. People often rate kids shows on how well they keep adults entertained, but Batman: the Animated Series is an adult show that's able to keep kids entertained. It has enough adventure and humor and colorful characters to keep kids excited, but it rarely ever panders to them, and it takes itself and its adult viewers seriously. It takes risks for a "kids show", such as the level of darkness it's willing to go to. It has a unique look to it. The voice acting is phenomenal. If you've seen the show, you won't be able to read the comics without hearing their voices as the characters from the show. This show is so good, that it even influenced the comics in which it was based off of. Mr. Freeze used to be a generic villain, when this series gave his character a tragic backstory and a motivation. They even created characters, such as Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya that made it to the comics. Seriously, it is THAT good, and if you haven't seen it, check it out. This is the best screen adaptation of Batman. Better than the Burton movies. Better than the Nolan moives. Better than the Arkham games (btw, the Arkham games uses some of the same voice actors because their work is so iconic)

Well i think besides a few a rating of this height would be fueled by rewatches nostalgia etc.
§uch as a random watch of one random star wars film may not make me see it as good as others who have watched it throughout

Wow that was just the response i wanted to hear
right then im watching it
Actually at a 9.0 I consider it slightly underrated... deserves a 9.2 or 9.3... even though the last episodes were not as good.
shareI like this show a lot. I think it's a great rating.

Agreed. It deserves to be very highly rated.
All for a box of chocolates...
This a trend setter for all the adult super-heroes cartoons that followed. X-Men, Superman, Spider-Man, Justice League, Batman Beyond, Avengers and whoever else I'm forgetting, owe a debt of gratitude to this show. Maybe some have been done better, I don't know of any, but this one was the 1st. And IMHO, the best.
