There is something about this show that is so damn special that isn't just nostalgia. The neo noir vibes are immaculate and this batman once again feels like a true detective with an unyielding sense of justice.

This is the badass side of Batman I can't get enough of. The kind of adventures that makes you wonder how one man can even do all this.

No this is not an ironic addition. If you love Batman as a character, please give this a watch and you'll understand why.

I just love the concept of this. A batman who literally in old age refuses to stop being Batman. I love Terry McGuinness. So fun. And the suit. My god the suit.

Great list. I saw Lego Batman in theaters and enjoyed it. Parts had me laughing out loud in the theater.

I didn't grow up watching a lot of comic book cartoons as a kid, but I did love Batman Beyond
