Day 2 of our first Week of Review, folks, celebrate my continued dedication to a self-appointed task transcending the bounds of reasonability and self-preservation. If you missed the first installment and are thus literally adrift, here’s the deal: Week of Review is retrospective series where I spend 5-7 installments going over a bunch of entries in a given subject. This opening week’s topic is Batman on TV, building up to the Gotham season 2 premiere a week from yesterday. The first installment dealt with the massively popular Adam West Batman show from the ‘60s (the first major introduction to Batman that most people had).

Today, I’m covering the awkward 30-year gap between Batman ’66 and Batman the animated series.
There were animated Batman shows during this period, but none of them are
really worth a full in-depth analysis. Additionally, I’ll be using this sequence to touch on Batman’s role in a
few other DC series where he was prominently featured, yet the show wasn’t part
of his mythos. Also, this article
will be in list format because I refuse to limit Week of Review to a set format
or structure for each installment.
