This Batman TV Show would run for two years and would end in 1968.During this time, Batman was still a very new concept and not everyone would catch on to the dark knight until film maker Tim Burton would take Batman to the big screen by casting Michael Keaton to play the role of Batman in the 1989 self titled movie. Tim Burton hit huge success with the 1989 Batman Movie even though there were many fans angered by Time Burton's choice of Michael Keaton taking on the cowl of Batman.

These characters and many others that started off in Batman TAS have now been active characters in the DC universe. Batman the animated series would run for 85 episodes ending its great run in 1995 with a movie spinoff: Batman Mask of the Phantasm.

After Batman TAS ends in 1995, The New Batman Adventures (commonly referred to as TNBA) would air in September 1997, almost three years after Batman TAS ended.
