Ranking Every DC Animated TV Series From Worst To Best
15. The New Adventures Of Batman
The late, great Adam West as Batman? Check. Burt Ward as Robin? Check. Bat-Mite? Also check.
The New Adventures of Batman is just the show you're expecting it to be: ridiculous, cartoony, but heartwarming all the same. And indeed, it exhibits all of the qualities that made the sixties show so special in the first place as well.
Adam West is as smooth as ever as the Caped Crusader, and while Bat-Mite does get a little grating after a while (he was very much the Scrappy-Doo of the series), it's more than worth a watch if you can track it down (and if you're after more of West's Batman).
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
