The Best of the Series

This is definitely my favorite season of the entire animated series. I love the character design and the backgrounds. The storytelling is pretty creative, with a lot of interesting plots for villains and heroes alike (including the introduction of Tim Drake as Robin and Dick Grayson as Nightwing). They did a great job creating that "Bat-manny" feel for the series, with a combination of timing, acting, and layouts (and plenty of scenes where Batman disappears while someone is talking to him). The first episode (a Christmas episode, believe it or not) was tremendously weak, but I'm glad the rest of the season turned out a lot better. Great stuff!
What's great about it: Pretty creative storytelling, great voice acting, solid animation and astounding layouts
What's not so great: Plots and dialogue are a tad cheesy, not many extras on DVDs
