In the premiere episode of Toonology, host Will Bryant dives deep into "Batman: The Animated Series," the groundbreaking '90s cartoon that redefined the Dark Knight and changed animation forever.

We explore the series’ noir aesthetic, cinematic score, and iconic voice performances from legends like Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. From the origin of Harley Quinn to the influence of creators Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, this episode unpacks how BTAS became a cornerstone of DC Comics storytelling—and why it still holds up decades later.

Whether you're a lifelong Bat-fan or discovering the series for the first time, or an overall lover of animation... this one's for you.
