The year 1992 was a monumental year for Batman. Following the success of the live-action Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton, Warner Bros. took advantage of the ongoing “Bat-mania” and gratified fans’ need for more Dark Knight by releasing arguably the definitive version of our favorite caped crusader Batman in cartoon form. Drawing huge inspiration from Tim Burton’s Batman from 1989, Batman: The Animated Series isn’t exactly an extension of the cult classic, but rather its own entity which became an instant hit amongst fans and is still widely regarded by a lot of people to this day as the best adaptation of the Dark Knight in any medium outside the comics. Now, we’ve talked a lot about the episodes we hold near and dear to our hearts but this time around, allow me to put the spotlight on the show’s episodes which I think are often overlooked and deserve more attention. With that in mind, here are 10 of the most underrated Batman: The Animated Series episodes you should be rewatching! Disclaimer: I’m putting some episodes from The New Batman Adventures since, you know, it’s still canon to the BTAS saga. Out to prove the commissioner’s innocence, Barbara seeks help from Batman but to no avail. She would then dress up as the caped crusader in an attempt to find out who exactly framed her dad. Unsurprisingly, Barbara finds herself in the middle of all the chaos, proving that she can hang with the dynamic duo which eventually earned her a spot in the Bat-family. Out to seek revenge and possibly get a cure for his condition, the now Clayface wreaks havoc during one of Daggett’s appearances to promote his product. Batman, of course, tries to put an end on Clayface’s rampage and successfully stops him for the time being.
