Back in 1992, a group of artists who'd previously honed their skills on Tiny Toon Adventures came together and redefined the Caped Crusader for a new generation. Their creation? Batman: The Animated Series, a phenomenal weekday cartoon that many still swear by as the definitive Batman adaptation. And with a new reboot on the way, there's never been a better time to look back on B:TAS, the games it spawned, and its remarkable legacy over the past three decades. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Chris Sims as the crew examines a cartoon too good for this world, and the many games that tried to live up to its high standard of excellence.

Glad to hear you guys giving the love to Batman Adventures in this episode. It really is a legit Batman book and not just some cheap tie-in dreck. If you are looking for more in that vein Paul Dini and Alan Burnett have been doing a book that picks up the story where WB run left off. Though its place in the canon is in limbo due to inconsistencies with a certain character's post-BTAS story. Still worth checking out. They even have Ty Templeton on art for the first 8 issues.

Playing catch-up with my Patreon episodes here, but I was one of the sick, twisted kids that was entertained by the Game Gear adaptation of the series back in the 90s. I beat that game numerous times (with an AC adapter, naturally) and my recollection was that I very much enjoyed it. Tried to revisit it last year; nostalgia was not sufficient enough for me to get through the first level. Truly horrendous and amazing the lengths my childhood self would go to convince me that something was “good” or even “great.” There must be some kind of correlation between this and Stockholm Syndrome.
