Is it for me?
Crime-film people who find most superhero cartoons too bright will feel at home. Every scene looks like midnight because the backgrounds are painted light on black paper. Kevin Conroy gives Bruce Wayne one voice and Batman another; Mark Hamill's Joker laughs like he means it. In one story, a scientist who cannot survive above freezing raids a company for parts, and you end up feeling for him.
Before you start
Most half-hours stand alone, so you can jump around; season two adds Robin, and the later New Batman Adventures switch to a cleaner, flatter look.
4 seasons, 85 episodes, 30 min each, about 43 hours so far
