The following is an episode list for the 1990s animated television series based on the superhero Batman and associated comic book characters published by DC Comics.
Batman: The Animated Series is an American television series, which ran from 1992 to 1995 on the Fox Network. It was later shown on Cartoon Network and Toon Disney and currently airs on Toon Disney's successor Disney XD. Each episode is approximately 22 minutes long, excluding commercials.
The New Batman Adventures , although utilizing different character designs and animation style, is a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series , and ran from 1997 to 1999 on The WB Network. There are a total of 109 episodes from both series, along with multiple crossover episodes from Superman: The Animated Series and Static Shock . Both series have been released on DVD boxsets in four volumes.
The series are part of what has become known as the DC Animated Universe, which consists of eight animated television shows and four animated films, largely surrounding DC Comics characters and their respective mythos. This includes Superman: The Animated Series , Batman Beyond , Static Shock , The Zeta Project , Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
Batman: The Animated Series
Season One (1992-1993)
Season Two (1994-1995)
Because of the success the show was enjoying, while the 65 episodes of the first season were still airing, the Fox Network executives ordered a second season of 20 more episodes. The second season featured Robin more prominently and was titled The Adventures of Batman & Robin .
The network reduced the series to airing only weekly, Saturday mornings. Once fifteen of the twenty episodes had premiered (five were held back until the following September), the weekday slot was restored to repeats of the entire run, with the first season's episodes given the second season's title, The Adventures of Batman & Robin , for all remaining Fox showings and a few VHS releases.
These episodes and the last nine of the first season were released in the correct production order as part of the Batman: The Animated Series Volume Three DVD boxset. Select episodes of the second season on the DVD boxset feature the first season's opening theme, mainly the ones that don't feature Robin.
The New Batman Adventures
Season One (1997-1998)
Three years after the second season of Batman: The Animated Series was produced, the show was moved from the Fox Network to The WB Network, which was airing and producing Superman: The Animated Series . These shows were merged as part of an hour segment called The New Batman/Superman Adventures . The WB Network wanted more episodes of Batman: The Animated Series , so two new seasons of 24 episodes were produced, which featured a different format and more focus on Batman's supporting cast.
In addition to the network's demands, the producers decided to make the show match Superman: The Animated Series' graphic style, so all the characters and objects were redesigned as "animation friendly" with fewer lines, usually referred to by the fans and creative staff as the "revamp" (or alternately, the "new look"). A similar graphic style was used in the rest of the DCAU later on.
The DVD boxset of the series is labeled Batman: The Animated Series - Volume Four (from The New Batman Adventures ) , most likely to establish its connection with the original series.

Crossovers
Superman: The Animated Series
Main article: List of Superman: The Animated Series episodesBefore The New Batman Adventures started airing alongside Superman: The Animated Series , a 3-part story had The Joker and Lex Luthor team up against Batman and Superman. This was later released on home video as The Batman/Superman Movie and adapted into a comic book. The commentary of The Batman/Superman Movie stated that the feature was intended to "kick off" the new Batman episodes, thus taking place before the first episode of The New Batman Adventures. Following Batman-related episodes were individual stories titled "Knight Time" and "The Demon Reborn."
Static Shock
Main article: List of Static Shock episodesIn parallel with their appearances in Justice League , Batman, and some of his supporting cast and villains also appeared in five episodes of Static Shock . While these episodes were actually made during the same time Justice League and were being produced, in the subjective chronology of the DCAU three of these episodes fall during The New Batman Adventures era, while the 2-part episode "A League of Their Own," takes place during the Justice League years.
