Superhero shows are everywhere nowadays, and thanks to Netflix there have been some serious efforts at turning them into award-worthy prestige dramas. So you might think that it'd be something like Daredevil or Jessica Jones that holds the highest rating among this genre, but instead it's an animated series from the 1990s.

Daredevil has 8.7 and Jessica Jones 8.1, but neither can compete with Batman: The Animated Series, which remains a seminal part of the Bat-canon.

B:ATS, which featured the classic pairing of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and The Joker respectively, is about as thematically rich, dark, and compelling as you could hope for from a Batman adaptation, leading to its whopping 9.0 rating from over 67,000 votes.
