Gotham City crime czars Scarface and Rupert Thorne battle evil masterminds like the Joker and the Penguin for money, power and respect. Kidnappings rise as foe-versus-foe attacks become more vindictive. And just when you thought you knew the good guys from the bad, the craziest villains try to go straight, triggering one dangerous blowout after another. Amidst all the terror one man walks the fine line between vengeance and justice as often as he balances his crimefighting persona and his billionaire playboy public life. This is the Batman series that introduced a new kind of super hero ? cool, composed, uncompromising. Your Batman collection won?t be complete without this compilation!DVD Features:Audio Commentary:1) Commentary on "Read my Lips" by Producer, Bruce Timm; Writer, Paul Dini; Director, Boyd Kirkland; Writer, Michael Reaves; and Composer, Shirley Walker2) Video Commentary on "House and Garden" by Producer, Bruce Timm; Writer, Paul Dini; Director, Boyd Kirkland; and Moderator, Jason Hillhouse 3) "Commentary on Harlequinade" by Producer Bruce Timm; Writer, Paul Dini; and Composer, Shirley WalkerFeaturette:"Gotham's New Knight"-[ Featurette on Batgirl as Batman's Newest Ally]

Always a good addition
»
I'm quite a Batman fan, so please be aware upfront that my views are heavily biased. If you prefer Superman, any Marvel character, or maybe don't even like super heroes then you should probably check out another review.
This volume is a fantastic addition to anyone's Batman library, and, unlike many American-born cartoons, this series is actually helpful to watch in order. Villains are born in earlier episodes and re-appear later on. However, like any good DC cartoon, if you have even a basic knowledge of the universe you'll be set (though I do highly recommend watching seasons one, two, and four as well).
This particular season comes with a special perk, as well. (***If you don't want this surprise spoiled, skip the rest of this paragraph!***) Part way through the volume episodes from the Batman and Robin series begin to pepper the list (starting around the disk's episode 17, I believe). In all honesty, I don't remember if this happened during the series first run (as I was wee...), but I personally felt like I was getting a two-for-one deal! If you're a fan of TAS, but not a big Robin person, it's easy to skip the episodes from this series, as the music played during the WB logo is very distinct.
Ultimately, I give this series a 100% for any Batman fan. Be aware though - since this is a kids cartoon, many of the story lines have been altered for reduced violence. If this'll bother you, you might want to think twice. ---- Great gift idea for the blossoming Batman fan!

It just keeps getting better.
»
Here is the third volume of Batman The Animated Series, which is an excellent buy for anybody, especially Batman fans. It seems with every episode and season, they just got better and better. This was the last season before the animators that did Superman took over the art direction. If you're looking into or thinking about buying the seasons, stop everything else, and just buy them. One of the easiest decisions you'll ever make ;)

Classic, must own stories for any fan
»
No other show has combined the action to impress younger viewers and the actual stories to impress adults more than Batman: The Animated Series. Season 3 has some of the best episodes of the series, imho, The Demon's Quest, Bane, and His Silicon Soul. You will not be disappointed.
