Movie Reviews of The Batman: The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: Fantastic Batman Season
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a huge fan of the Bruce Tim DC shows for years. I own every season from Batman the Animated Series Season Four through JLU Season Two (with Batman Beyond, Superman TAS, and Justice League in between.) So that's, let me see, 11 seasons of Tim-verse cartoons. I also own all of the Tim-verse movies, from Mask of the Phantasm all the way through Superman/Doomsday. I think Bruce Tim has done an outstanding, brilliant job with DC comics -- a job that he got better and better at doing as time went by -- and I don't think any cartoon series has ever come anywhere near close to equaling the greatness of the JL/JlU series (which just got better and better as it went along, the last two seasons being the best of all.)
The fact that the Tim-verse series built on each other and carried forward storylines and characters also helped to make the shows special, with things that happened in Superman or Batman Beyond having relevance in JLU years later.
I also think the depiction of Batman in the JL/JLU series was the best depiction of Batman on TV ever. To me, Batman in the Cadmus storyline of JLU is the definitive Batman, the perfect Batman. Cool, in control, a bit arrogant, always one step ahead, and intimidating in the process. Just completely and utterly sure of his sense of right and wrong, and somehow always the toughest guy in the room even without any powers.
That said, I think The Batman Season Four is the best single season of a Bruce Wayne/Batman specific show ever. To me, it's better than any of the BTAS seasons. Almost every Episode was fantastic and enjoyable. The writing was good, the characterizations were great, the dialogue was well written and well delivered, and the action was fantastic/top of the line. Visually, the show looks great as well, with some really good artistic design. The final two parter was really fun, but so were many of the other episodes that came earlier season, like the future Dark Knight inspired episode, the exciting Clay Face episode, and the tense Zombie episode. In fact, every epdisode in Season Four is worth watching. The Batman in Season Four is characterized very well also. He's not at the same point in his life as the Batman in JLU, he's not quite as sure, not quite as hard, but he is the same character and a believable Batman.
I only saw a couple episodes of this show when Season One started, and I wasn't impressed. I found the Penguin boring, and didn't really like the writing, (although I did like what I caught of the Bane episode,) so I stopped watching. I think I only saw one or two more episodes between Season One and Season Four. I don't know how exactly, but I found myself watching the season premier of season four and liked it enough that I actually watched the whole season as it aired. I found it so enjoyable in fact, that I actually picked it up on DVD the day it came out, and have been watching Season Five ever since it started. This show has come a long way from what I originally saw, and I highly recommend Season Four to any Batman fan.
Now I can't wait to see how the final two parter of Season Five goes. I know I'll be getting my copy of Season Five as soon as it comes out as well. It's too bad we don't have any new Tim-verse TV shows (although I am really excited by the Tim-verse straight to DVD movies they've been doing,) but at least the Batman has improved enough to fill some of the void. The Batman Season Four is not as good as the JLU season 1 and 2 box sets (no cartoon is, the Timm-verse was great from the begining, brilliant by the time Superman TAS started, and it just kept getting better and better as it went through Batman Beyond and JL/JLU. It really is the pinacle of superhero animated series to date,) but, as I said, to me The Batman Season Four is the best season of any Bruce Wayne/Batman specific show to date. Batman Beyond Season three is right up there with it, but that's Terry McGuiness/Batman, not Bruce Wayne/Batman.
