There are also too many continuity changes and changes of style to mention here but, huge influence as I said. How about Harley Quinn? Yep, show first, comics later. Like the character of Renee Montoya? First appeared in the show. Some of you younger fans may be thinking, so what, an old animated show, means nothing to me.

Some people will still swear it has the best depiction of Batman, in any medium, full stop, and it’s not easy to argue with that. Batman: The Animated Series, which aired in the early to mid 1990’s, is probably the most beloved of animated shows ( X-Men a close second, for what it’s worth), and its influence on comics in general has been huge. If you weren’t excited to see this book hit the stands, then you can just collect up all your stuff and get out right now.
