Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Four (From the New Batman Adventures) (DC Comics Classic Collection) description
The fourth and final volume of Batman: The Animated Series is a little uneven but still encompasses some great episodes. Start with "Over the Edge," a nightmarish scenario in which Commissioner Gordon dedicates himself to hunting down Batman following the death of his daughter, Batgirl. "Critters" is a tribute to Japanese monster movies, "Mad Love" recounts the origin of Harley Quinn, and "Legends of the Dark Knight" animates both a '50s-styled Batman adventure as well as a scene from Frank Miller's Return of the Dark Knight. This run of 24 episodes has a lot of Batgirl, too little Nightwing, and a lot of the new Robin, Tim Drake, whose origin is explained in "Sins of the Father." Drake gets a mostly solo adventure, Batgirl teams with Supergirl, and there's still a sense of fun, with goofy humor that includes an appearance by the Three Stooges as the Joker's henchmen. Guest voices include Sela Ward as Calendar Girl and Tippi Hedren, and Mark Hamill continues the excellent work as the Joker that created some early rumors about his taking the live-action role in the sequel to Batman Begins. By this time, Batman had become part of the Batman/Superman Hour, so viewers can choose the opening sequence for either that or the original animated series. That, as well as the unbalanced number of episodes in the seasons (e.g., the first season of the animated series was 60 episodes), is why Batman: The Animated Series was released in volumes rather than as single-season sets. --David Horiuchi

Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Four (From the New Batman Adventures) (DC Comics Classic Collection) Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

First three are great; the fourth is lame.

Batman has always been my favorite superhero, and was very excited when Batman: The animated series was released on DVD, having remembered enjoying them when originally broadcast. I bought them all and have now seen every episode.

The first three seasons are fantastic. I gave the first and third five stars and second four stars. The story lines for the individual episodes and the series were very good, as was the animation, characters, voices, action...pretty much everything was as it should and couldn't really be made better. Heck, the show even won an Emmy in the beginning.

The fourth season, however, was when the animation style completely crossed over to that of Superman, which was okay, but not quite as good as the first three, either.

The real problem, however, is the writing. Most of the episodes, to put it plainly, are lame. Especially "The Demon Within", "Holiday Knights" and "Legends of the Dark Knight."

While I still love the series, the last season just isn't to the same quality.
