- TriviaTim Curry was initially cast as the Joker, having also been considered for the role in Người Dơi (1989), and it was long rumored that his portrayal was deemed "too scary." In reality, Curry had recorded four episodes, but dropped out after developing Bronchitis. The role went to Mark Hamill, who had already been cast as one-off character Ferris Boyle in Heart of Ice (1992). Curry ended up providing additional voices in a handful of episodes.
- GoofsThis series' Batmobile, with its extremely long hood, would be totally impractical for the needs of a crime-fighter, such as weaving through traffic and making tight turns at corners.
- Crazy creditsDespite being invariably referred to as "Batman--The Animated Series" (until the changes in title, tone, and additional screen time for Robin for the second season), the series had NO on-screen title.
- Alternate versionsWhen "The New Batman Adventures" uses this show's intro instead of that of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures," the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo appears before the Warner Bros. Animation logo.

Featured review
When this series first came out, I was at least eight years old; so of course I wouldn't really understand most of it with this being a drama and all... now I realize that this is the most accurate retelling of the Batman legacy EVER! Starting off, compare this to the horrid series they have created now: "The Batman," where they treat Batman like Superman by wondering who he is... it just doesn't measure up... allow me to explain the differences: one of which being the presence of Ethan Bennet. Who you ask? I rest my case... there is none that I can remember.
Secondly, this one is perfectly parallel to the comics. There's no such thing as the bat-wave in the original, but there will always be the bat signal! Finally, the animation looks as it should. Joker is not in a straight jacket, The Riddler doesn't look like Bono from U2, and every voice actor sounds just like they should.
To sum it all up, this series was everything that "The batman" isn't... and that's a good thing.
