20 Best Batman TV Episodes Ever

4. 'Almost Got 'Im' (Batman: The Animated Series)

Heart of Ice Batman

Without question one of the finest examples as to why Batman: The Animated Series is held in such high regard, 'Almost Got 'Im' is a noirish anthology-esque piece that showcases the series at its very best.

Centering on a poker game between The Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Two Face and Killer Croc, it gives each villain the stage for a few moments as each one of them recall how they came ever-so-close to defeating The Bat. And with some of those entertaining mini-adventures linking together in an unexpectedly clever way, not-to-mention the beautiful foggy styling of the poker set-up that featured incredible moments of animation, this was both a visual and thematic high for the show.
