Back in 1992, a group of artists who'd previously honed their skills on Tiny Toon Adventures came together and redefined the Caped Crusader for a new generation. Their creation? Batman: The Animated Series, a phenomenal weekday cartoon that many still swear by as the definitive Batman adaptation. And with a new reboot on the way, there's never been a better time to look back on B:TAS, the games it spawned, and its remarkable legacy over the past three decades. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Chris Sims as the crew examines a cartoon too good for this world, and the many games that tried to live up to its high standard of excellence.

And if you're interested in Blabbin' Bout Batman: The Animated Series, check out the Talking Simpsons Patreon!

Great episode, love that Chris Simms has finally crossed over with Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert in a superhero episode. I do have to wonder why nobody asked the true question about Batman's future though, why doesn't Batman dance anymore?

Like Henry, I only played the SNES The Adventures of Batman and Robin. As I learned later, that was the one to have. I played that game so many times until I was able to consistently do a No Password Hard run with the cool cast showcase ending.

The Mega Drive Adventures of Batman & Robin game is so difficult and samey that it gives me a headache. I love it anyway.

Chris Simms is just my favorite guest. Every time he speaks, he always sounds as if he’s on the precipice of braking into laughter, and his delivery seems like it’s coming through a smile. Great episode, great insight from all three of you. Oh, and I had the Batman Sega CD game when it was released. What a dearth of fun that experience was.

Glad to hear you guys giving the love to Batman Adventures in this episode. It really is a legit Batman book and not just some cheap tie-in dreck. If you are looking for more in that vein Paul Dini and Alan Burnett have been doing a book that picks up the story where WB run left off. Though its place in the canon is in limbo due to inconsistencies with a certain character's post-BTAS story. Still worth checking out. They even have Ty Templeton on art for the first 8 issues.

Playing catch-up with my Patreon episodes here, but I was one of the sick, twisted kids that was entertained by the Game Gear adaptation of the series back in the 90s. I beat that game numerous times (with an AC adapter, naturally) and my recollection was that I very much enjoyed it. Tried to revisit it last year; nostalgia was not sufficient enough for me to get through the first level. Truly horrendous and amazing the lengths my childhood self would go to convince me that something was “good” or even “great.” There must be some kind of correlation between this and Stockholm Syndrome.
