You should watch the best episode of the series first: there's a batman in my basement

I actually was rewatching the series too, the one with Scarecrow was great. I have to start back again.

Its pretty good. I didn't watch it until a couple of years ago.

Perchance to Dream is the best.

Almost Got em was also a really good comedic episode. The series was great for mixing the tragic with the comedic.

The username and fact that he made his account only a few months ago should have been the clue that he is an obvious alt account troll, but anyway he's just trolling by referencing the fact that batman in basement is (for some reason) considered one of the worst episodes of the series by saying in his post that it's the best.

Anyway, I've noticed a theme that a lot of the episodes with children seem to be considered the worst, like the basement one and The Underdwellers. For my part I actually liked those episodes as a kid, in particular The Under dwellers a lot, especially because of the oliver twistish vibe to the episode. and I've got Batman in my Basement is the first episode to feature Penguin so I simply cannot hate it.

Another episode that I liked as a kid was the joker episode with the son of the mayor. That one was really really good and I don't think even internet people disagree.


But are you going by seasons or volumes? Since I own the dvd box sets I have volume 1, 2, and 3 which is pretty much the entire BTAS series (volume 4 is only for if you like TNBA, which I didn't as a kid but do now)

You know, it had a few comedy spots, but I didn't even consider it a comedic episode :)

Best cartoon series ever (besides south park)

The reason it is considered one of the worst episodes of the series is because it is one of the worst episodes of the series.

How in the hell did they get Paul Williams?

that it does. I think the ones involving the Riddler are my favorites.

I think Heart of Ice is usually considered one of the best, if not the best.

Not sure what I would consider the best. There were many great episodes.

Heart of Ice.

That's all.

The Grey Ghost, because it showed Batman's ability to inspire, which to me was always his most important quality

Similarly, the one where he helps a mobster make it to a testimony, despite others trying to stop him - forget the name
