Wish this show was still on today.

Considering it was this show that introduced one of comic books most recognised female villains in Harley Quinn, you would think the original show (first three seasons before the animation changed drastically for some reason) would have lasted a lot longer.

Wonder what other characters the writers had up their sleeve.

I'm sure most would be hit and miss and none would be as successful as Harley Quinn. But you have to Imagine the wealth of characters that could've been added to the Batman universe if it was still on today. New villains, New heroes, new love interests for our heroes and villains. The possibilities are endless.

I agree.

I stopped watching the show after the animation changed because it seemed strangely creepy to me for some reason, don't know why.

Imagine if it was still on today like Simpson's, South Park or Family Guy. Would've had endless new characters and maybe some would've made it into the movies.

I think the whole tone of the show became kind of run-of-the-mill at the time the animation changed. My favorite seasons are still the first two.

My favorites growing up were usually Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, they were always in some pretty great episodes. Dang I miss this show, no doubt the earlier seasons were the best.

Riddler was my favourite and I don't think they used him as much as they could have.

There's never been a better Two Face than the animated version. Love Batman Forever and The Dark Knight but still think Tommy Lee Jones and Aaron Eckhart couldn't top the way they dealt with Harvey Dent on BTAS.

Agreed, Two Face BTAS was fantastic and well written.
