Today is the 20th Anniversary of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. I didn’t write anything new because I was busy detailing the miseries of Funky Winkerbean last night, but here are some things I’ve written about the show in the past:
1: The Ten Best Episodes of Batman: The Animated Series - “Best,” of course, being a shorter version of “my personal favorites.” I still think people who don’t like “The Forgotten” are the wrongest wrongs in Wrongtown, though.
2: The 14 Best Title Cards - One of my favorite things about the series, and one of the factors contributing to its unique look and beautiful aesthetic.
3: A Shot-By-Shot Breakdown Of The Opening Sequence - How B:TAS tells you everything you need to know about Batman in 57 dialogue-free seconds.
4: Animated Batmanology: Tyger Tyger - David Uzumeri and I break down one of the all-time worst episodes of the series, in which Catwoman turns into a cat woman.
BONUS: War Rocket Ajax partner-in-crime Matt Wilson writes up the ten worst episodes, which surprisingly doesn’t have any overlap with my ten best.
I was interviewed in my capacity as the World’s Foremost Batmanologist in this video about Bruce Wayne’s philanthropy. My particular expertise is in how it’s been portrayed in the comics, with the various charitable organizations that he set up and supported in Gotham City.
Also, please enjoy my unkempt mohawk, extremely messy home office, Jack Kirby Demont-shirt, and custom-made “Macho Man” Randy Savage plush doll.

Today at HowToMBA, I have exercised my Masters of Batman Administration to write up a brief corporate profile of Wayne Enterprises, the cornerstone of Gotham City’s economy. Find out a little more about the history of the company, from its founding in the 1880s to its recent curious emphasis on unreleased prototypes and grappling manufacture under current CEO Bruce Wayne.
Here Is How This Batman Novel From 1966 Opens
In the motion picture industry, it’s an OSCAR.
To television, it’s an EMMY.
But to the world of crime, it’s a TOMMY … the gold-covered submachine gun that is awarded once every year to the man or woman who has done the most for CRIME.
