Top 10 Batman The Animated Series Episodes 

Killer Croc: I threw a rock at him!

9:40 The live action Suicide Squad movie destroyed everything that was established in "Mad Love" about Harley & Joker's relationship. Hence, now you got new fans trying to justify Joker's abusive actions as pure love in order to ship them like Bonnie & Clyde instead of taking it as an allegory of real life domestic violence in which the victim is manipulated into coming back for more. A dangerous perception for the younger generation to not get out of such situations.

My picks, for me at least are: 1.) Robin's Reckoning 2.) Perchance to Dream 3.) Beware the Grey Ghost I'll always get the urge to watch them every five years or so. I always favored the episodes that featured Bruce Wayne just as much as Batman. It reminded me there was still a human underneath that cape and cowl costume.

"I Am The Night" is one of my favourites as it has Batman looking over his career as The Dark Knight and wondering if he is doing any good and if he should just give it up after an incident where Commissioner Gorden is badly injured. Really powerful episode seeing Batman in a rare and vulnerable moment.

Heart of ice was a cool episode

You forgot to say *Joker's favor* is the first apperence of Harley Quinn ;)

Does anyone else think it's weird that he didn't mention the fact that Joker's Favor CREATED Harley Quinn?

The female protagonist in Fallout 4 is named Nora, and she gets frozen as well. Coincidence? Yeah, it probably is.

Top ten best episodes in spider-man the animated series

Top Ten Teen Titans Episodes! That was my show as a kid.

This series is what got me into comics too! I absolutely adore it! I love "The joker's favour" and a lot of the Joker's episodes, but "the Demon's Quest" is one of my favourites as well!

it stinks this show isn't on Netflix or Hulu because now I want to binge watch it

The Baby Doll episode was a favourite of mine. Harley's Holiday, Be a Clown, and On Leather Wings rank up there too.

One of my favorites was always “Appointment in Crime Alley”.

"I threw a rock at him!" " please smaller words" hahahaha love it! love it! great choices!!!!

I loved "The Forgotten". The story with Bruce losing his memory while searching for missing people was nice. However I liked Alfred's own detective work to find Bruce with even taking the Batwing out to him personally. The banter between the Batwing and Alfred always makes me laugh even to this day.

I wish they'd put this whole series on Netflix

People never mention how good the music was in this series. It was like the music was it's own character it was so good and would capture a scene and tell you a story. I loved the animations in this series too. The beginning title screen for the episodes were works of art and sometimes they would incorporate it like they did in the Two Face episode when the doctor unravels his bandages to show his face. The animations looks sharper and deeper colors. This series was ahead of its time. An all time great.

"I threw a rock at him" Killer Croc - Almost Got Him That line still cracks me up to this day. lol

My list is 10 Terror in the Sky 9 Appointment in Crime Alley 8 P.O.V. 7 Trial 6 Blind as a Bat 5 Baby Doll 4 House and Garden 3 Mad Love 2 Robin's Reckoning 1&2 1 Harlequinade

Great video Arris! I recently got all the episodes of BTAS and now my kids watch one episode every morning before school, just like I used to 20 years ago. They love it!

Duuuude!!! P.O.V is hands down the best episode. It was basically a "Gotham Central" episode of how the cops of Gotham view Batman at "work" and how he deals justice. The cops are questioned and eventually there is a mole in GCPD working for the mob. That episode was a child and now as an adult, still holds strong.

i love this show so much as a kid it is the best superhero show ever and i love every episode on this list even the honorable mentions.

Nice video! My top 3 favorite episodes are: I Am the Night, The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy, and Feat of Clay (Parts 1 & 2).

I'm surprised at how many of these episodes I remembered, even though I haven't seen the series since the 90's. Ah, nostalgia.

My favorite is "Moon of the Wolf" it has a great antagonist and has a great story on why the antagonist can't control what he does.

good list. Heart of Ice is also one of my 2 favorite episodes on the show. The other one is feat of clay (well, ok, technically it's two episodes). Which is pretty similar to heart of ice, if you think about it.

This seems identical to the nostalgia critic list haha

Where is 'Trial' and 'Strange secret of Bruce Wayne' ?

Night of The Ninja / Day of The Samurai is my favorite. I loved the time spent in Japan, and his Baron Mordo-like relationship with Kyodai Ken.

He's not the Batman, he's the goddamn Batman

Love this show! This show was the reason I grew up as a fan of Dick Grayson/Robin. I actually have the Gray Ghost figure they made from the Justice League Unlimited line.

"If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" Favorite episode, I love the maze trial.

Ugh every new episode you bring up hits my nostalgia like a rocket it's amazing

I was sure "His Silicon Soul" would make your list even though I had to search for the title. Just reading a recap (there were three eps with the supercomputer) got me in my feels.

Wouldn't the comic Mad love be based on the animated series since she first appeared in that series?

Can we have a top 10 episodes of spider-Man the animated series? Also, I really enjoyed the riddler episodes.

I miss watching this!! Best voice acting ever by Kevin and Mark

Almost Got'Im was my favorite episode as a child as well. Loved watching it!

My favourite is probably Baby Doll. Such a heart-wrenching ending.

Good Job Arris, and this video was uploaded on my birthday.

yessssssss thank you for having over the edge on the list!! without a doubt, my personal all time fave!!

This series was my childhood. I loved them then and love them now!

LOVE THIS EPISODE, ARRIS

Oh my god I love Joker's favour it's hilarious

fantastic vid!! loved it! Makes me want to rewatch the entire series.

"Almost got 'im" and "Heart of Ice" are always in the top 2 and it's easy to see why.

Three words "The Laughing Fish" enough said.

The "Joker's Favor" episode was also the introduction to Harley Quinn! Writer for the show, Paul Dini created her based off his friend Arleen Sorkin, who was then hired to do the voice. She was originally written as an assistant to the Joker, only intended for one episode. He had no idea how popular the character would become.

I love Robin's Reckoning. As a kid my favorite ones were Riddler's Reform and Beware The Grey Ghost.

Never should have doubted you, this show was the foundation of my youthful fandom for comics (especially Batman) so making a list of it brings extreme scrutiny! Jokers Favor was on here also, another one that was so powerfully unique it's another of the few that I can remember perfectly no matter how long ago it was last watched, it blew my kid mind! Bravo you list was great, there were a few I wouldn't have picked but I loved being reminded of!

Decent list. Too many good episodes to fit in a top 10 though.

I am Vengeance, I am the Night, I Am Batman

Awesome Video and all great episodes. This brings me WAY back :D

Great list! I haven't watched the series in over a decade, but I remember all of these episodes, and most were among my favorites!

Clayface was one of my favorite villains

i think batmam animated series was the best show and still is up to this point

wanted to see this for so long! great picks arris!

Ras Al Ghul episodes were always my favorite ones. they were just so intriguing you never wanted to take your eyes off the TV! Demon's Quest for sure!!

Captain planet PLEEEESE! ! ! ! !

where can I watch the animated series?

thank you for your content and knowledge. have a great year hermano

this was my show back in the day's every Saturday I would watch this

None of the riddler episodes? :(

Top ten Marvel Weapons!!!!!!

Great list. Also, perfect summary of the character you did there: a man who will do what is right, no matter the cost. Including his own happiness. Spot on.

This was pretty much a perfect way to start my day! Thank you!

There's this one really fucked up episode where Clayface is robbing places because he's dating this scientist who's figured out this way to cure him, but the machines aren't cheap. So at the end, when Clayface has robbed enough to finally make himself normal again--and lose the superpowers that endanger the city--Batman destroys the machine, because he's unable to think outside of absolutes. I remember thinking that Batman was such a prick in that episode and haven't forgiven him since.

Arris, did you have a crush on Harley Quinn as a kid? If you reply I will pee my pants!!!

Great list & awesome video. Thanks

Being a hardcore fan of this "definitive" Batman series, I realize how difficult it must of been to pick a top ten. Especially with so many great & unforgettable episodes. However, I think you did a wonderful job. 4 out of 10 of the episodes you listed here, I own WB production cels from. And they still are displayed, in my home, with cherished memories to this very day. Also, both myself, and "my" wife, have made a tradition of watching "Christmas With The Joker" an annual pastime as well. My personal favorite "Joker" episode is, and always shall be, "Joker's Favor". This was also the episode, that I first watched, that included The Joker (*plus introduced Harley Quinn*) Many people don't include "Joker's Favor" to their own lists. I'm glad to see that you did. It's really a stand-out episode, and you explained it quite well. One last mention; "Mad Love". While it most certainly deserves to be included on your list, the only thing that continues to ruin the episode was Joker's new character design. To this day I despise it. It's just awful. Even Bruce Timm has been quoted in saying that it was a mistake. Still, a classic episode taken from that classic one-shot book. Thanks again for bringing back the memories.

Batman sucks , teen titans go is better - Said no one ever

the dark knight - best comic movie of all time btas - best comic cartoon of all time Arkham trilogy - best comic video games of all time damn batman

Excellent upload,AQ. I,too,am a huge fan of Batman The Animated Series and it`s the reason I got (back) into the comic book version of the character. Recently purchased the entire series and am digging it big time!

OMG yes you finally made it!!! I've been waiting for years

Harley Quinn feels so toned down in Batman the Animated Series compared to the Arkham Games, comics and the Suicide Squad

X-men Animated series was good also, I don't think Batman was better

Great List!!!! One episode I would've added on the list would've been A Bullet for Bullock. One of my favorite episodes. I'm glad you have almost got him on the list that's definitely a classic.

Robins reckoning blew my mind as an 8 year old brilliant powerful story. His restraint at the end, and batman letting him make his own choice was amazing. Even that young i was moved beyond the ability to convey. Burned into my memory. Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this videos!

Most of these episodes in your top 10 are some of the episodes that stood out to me as well...particularly "Over the Edge", "Christmas with the Joker", "The Man Who Killed Batman", "Perchance to Dream", "Mad Love", "Heart of Ice"

1. Feat of Clay 2. The Laughing Fish 3. Over the Edge 4. House and Garden 5. Jokers Favor 6. Baby Doll 7. Heart of Ice 8. Harley's and Ivy 9. His Silicon Soul 10. Read My Lips

Nothing but love for you, Arris. You're great at what you do

Heart of Ice will always be number 1 for me, but this is a solid list. I highly recommended one of the latest episodes of the Nerdist podcast, with Paul Dini. Very insightful and moving.

Great video! I absolutely loved this series as a kid and this brought back some amazing memories. For some reason, the Baby Doll episode always spoke to me too. Made me think of Gary Coleman and feel bad for him... Where can you get all of the episodes, anyway? I only see season 1 available on DVD...

Arris you are the man! Thabk you for this vid! Now I'm off to Amazon Video to watch the show!

Loved it Arris would like to see more vids like this one

Solid list. Every Saturday morning it was this show and a big bowl of cereal on the living room floor! So glad 'Almost Got'Im' was #1. I'll never be able to forget that Killer Croc line.. "I threw a rock at him!.... It was a big rock" 😂😂😂

First video I've seen by you and now I must subscribe. Here is my comment on the video. DAY OF THE SAMURAI. That was my all-time favorite. Thanks and I look forward to checking out your channel

The laughing fish will always be one of my favorite episodes ever. Heart of Ice really does get you in the feels as well as Robin's Reckoning.

Haha, 'Almost got 'im' is on my list as well, I was wondering if you'd have it here. It cracks me up every time.

You kind of forgotten to mention that Heart of Ice won an Emmy for its writing. There are two things that I should mention about the episode Nothing to Fear: First, it introduces the popular line "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!" and second, the ending of that episode in which Batman infects the Scarecrow's own fear toxin (with Batman appearing as a bat demon), Commissioner Gordon & Harvey Bullock discovering Scarecrow at the office, and Bruce Wayne laying flowers on his parents gravestone which ends with Bruce walking away & we see a shadow of Batman behind him; are my favorite scenes from that episode. The episode Perchance to Dream is considered Kevin Conroy's & Troy Baker's favorite episode of the entire series. The ending to the episode of Cat Scratch Fever shows a human side to Batman. It should also be mentioned that during the recording sessions for The Man Who Killed Batman, the cast & crew laughed at Arleen Sorkin's performance of playing the kazoo during the 'funeral' at the chemical factory. You also forgot to mention the episode Zatanna as well. The episode A Bullet for Bullock won an Emmy for its music. And for some odd reason, one of my favorite episodes when I was young was Showdown, which introduced Jonah Hex.

When the show debuted, I was already a big Batman fan. The show just made me a bigger fan!

there's one called P.O.V that was always one of my favorites. Three officers, Bullock, Montoya, and a rookie give their own accounts of what they see Batman doing. Bullock claiming to be saving Batman and the rookie cop thinking he's supernatural, but Montoya's version is the most accurate and she helps Batman in the end. Good stuff!

10. 2 Face I, II 1:13 9. Beware the Gray Ghost 2:11 8. Over the Edge 3:25 7. Joker's favor 4:27 6. 5. The man who killed Batman 6:32 4. Perchance the Dream 7:26 3. Mad Love 8:39 2. Heart of Ice 9:43 1. Almost got him 10:47

Great list sir. Wonderful list. Seen all but one of those episodes. "Almost Got 'Em", best episode ever.

Hey, can you do a VS episode between Mr.Fantastic and Elongated Man/Plastic Man? Your channel got me into Batman:The Animated Series. Thanks. Keep it up!

Great list!

Man amazing job making this video Thank You

Excellent list, definitely a hard task in narrowing down such an amazing show. My only honorable mention for favorite would have to be "Feat of Clay" part 1 & 2. Favorite scene is when Matt confronts Daggett at that town hall meeting and reveals himself as Clay face. Damn all this reminiscing makes me wanna binge some episodes now...

I totally agree that every one of your favorites were top shelf. My favorite episode of all time is "I Am the Night" and my runner up is "Feat of Clay parts I & II", hands down. And I agree that there are just too many great episodes to mention. Great list! Love the series since it came out.
