Every Batman Animated Series Ranked Worst To Best

Every Batman animated series explores a different side of the character, and some of the best Batman stories have been told in animation form. Over the years, Batman has been front and center in ten solo animated series from 1968 to 2014. This does not include other DC animated shows Batman was part of, such as Justice League or Young Justice. With the release of a new Batman series in 2024, animated productions still represent a huge part of the Dark Knight’s legacy.
Batman has been DC Comics’ flagship character for a while now, which is why the Caped Crusader has starred in more animated series than any other DC hero. That is not to mention the several DC Animated Universe movies that have featured Batman in some capacity. Here is every Batman animated show, ranked from worst to best.
10 The Adventures Of Batman (1968 - 1969) 17 Episodes The Filmation cartoons are an important part of DC’s animation history, even though they were not as game-changing as the Fleischer Superman ones. Filmation’s DC cartoons include The Adventures of Batman, which reflects how the Caped Crusader was portrayed in the comics and television during the 1960s.
The Adventures of Batman can be considered an extension of the 1966 Batman serial, although it featured a different cast from the live-action show. The series was a collection of 12-minute-long adventures featuring Batman, Robin, and Batgirl as they faced classic villains. A product of its time, The Adventures of Batman is a fun look at Silver Age Batman.
9 The New Adventures Of Batman (1977) 16 Episodes After Hanna-Barbera"s Super Friends brought together several DC heroes for a series of cartoons, Filmation began to develop another show focused on Batman and Robin. Curiously, Batman and Robin were in Super Friends, meaning that two different companies were handling these characters at the same time.
The New Adventures of Batman was not that much different from what the previous series or Super Friends were doing, except for the cast. Batman’s 66 stars Adam West and Burt Ward reprised their roles as Batman and Robin, respectively, for the animated show. Hearing the classic dynamic duo in an animated series makes The New Adventures of Batman quite special.
8 Batman Unlimited (2015-2016) 33 Episodes Close Batman Unlimited is one of the Dark Knight"s more unusual shows in many senses, as the series consists of a selection of short online episodes which can be found on Youtube, complete with a range of tie-in movies involving the same iteration of the famous DC hero. As such, Batman Unlimited doesn"t quite have the same amount of time as other Batman shows to focus on character or story depth, and is more centered on showing the Caped Crusader facing down various foes with less in the way of an overarching narrative.
