Where will Gotham end up on this list? By Cody Ray Shaferīatman: The Animated Series / The New Batman Adventures 1992Ī staple of \‘90s after-school programming, Batman: The Animated Series picked up the neo-noir tone of Tim Burton\‘s films and served as a nuanced foil to the over-the-top direction Joel Schumacher took the character in Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Here we attempt to rank Batman’s many TV incarnations. Some offer the best Batman on screen, others are bleak disappointments.
Batman TV shows come in as wide a variety of tone and production as gadgets in Batman’s belt. Aside from the massively successful movie series from Christopher Nolan -not to mention an uneven series of films from the ‘90s -Batman has also seen his fair share of TV time slots, from prime time to weekday afternoons. The TV series Gotham also takes place years before Bruce Wayne dons the cape and cowl, so we’ll theoretically never see Batman in this series.īut it’s not like Batman is a stranger to TV audiences anyway. In various retellings of the Batman origin story, Gordon plays a major role in tackling corruption within the police department and political infrastructure of Gotham, ensuring the criminals Batman takes down stay locked away. Gotham takes a twist on the Batman mythos by focusing on the early career of The Dark Knight’s closest ally, James Gordon, a police officer who eventually takes on the mantle of Gotham police commissioner. Of course, the series is based on characters from DC comics’ Batman, a character who first showed up in ink 75 years ago. Last week FOX debuted Gotham, a detective series that takes place in the fictional titular city.
