The new adventures of batman is pretty good and i was surprised to see that Adam West & Burt ward did the voices and was happy about it to. in this tv show batman is more for little kids hardly any violince in it and thats pretty cool that they did that. it put a new turn on batman. and is very enjoyable for eveyone. i can't wait until they put Batman the one with adam west in it on dvd.

I can't believe it's taken so long for these classic Filmation cartoons to be released. The He-Man Filmation series has been released over these past few years & the Star Trek Filmation series finally got released on DVD last year. Why has it taken so long for the New Adventures of Batman to see the light of day? Who knows, but let's be grateful especially since the 60's live action series has not yet been released.
As other reviewers have noted, if you are not familiar with Bat-mite. He is to Batman as the Great Gazoo was to the Flintstones, Orko was to He-Man, & Jar Jar Binks was to Star Wars. So the intention of this character is to add a comic relief & thus appeal to young children. If you are OK with that, you will enjoy the New Adventures of Batman. The only slight disappointment is that unfortunately the Riddler does NOT make an appearance; no episodes were made with him as the villain.
Hopefully, this release will get the ball rolling with some of the other classic Filmation animated series. What about Tarzan? After all, for a period of time, CBS presented them both as a double bill: "the Batman/Tarzan Adventure Hour". Hopefully, Tarzan will be released next along with other Filmation series the Lone Ranger & Zorro not too far behind.

This cartoon is what got me into Batman in the first place. I loved watching these cartoons with Adam West and Burt Ward from the TV series back when I was 5 or 6 in 1977/1978 along with the other Batman cartoon with Olan Soule and Casey Kasem doing the voices. I thought Batmite was cute but he's kind of a JarJar Binks type character who is clumsy a lot of the time. This cartoon isn't as dark as the recent Batman animated series and I think that's a good thing because little kids can't handle dark and intense stuff. The stories may appear campy and zany to a lot of people but I think these cartoons are for all ages and I think this is something the whole family can enjoy as they are simple fun adventure stories and that's the way I always saw them even when I was little. I'm more into the dark Batman nowadays ie.comics,animated series.movies etc but I have always loved The New Adventures of Batman with Batman,Robin and Batmite battling the Joker,Penguin and Mr.Freeze. I always thought Batman was more fun with Robin because I have always liked their colorful costumes and their fantastic vehicles i.e.Batmobile,Batplane,Batcopter and the Batboat. I hope WB releases the original 1969 Batman cartoon with Olan Soule and Casey Kasem as the voices of Batman and Robin sometime in the near future hopelly this year.
My personal favorite episode was He Who Laughs Last where the Joker steals a steam train with Robin getting out of a boxcar with a laser torch from his utility belt.

If you haven't seen this show, brace yourself for bat-mite. It's kind of like a clumsier, more annoying version of the Great Gazoo from the Flintstones. I don't know what's he is doing there, but I don't like it. Other than that the show is pretty good. The animation isn't the greatest, but that's what all TV animation was like at that time. It's cool that Adam West does the voice of Batman.

When I found out that Warner Home Video was releasing this and the 66 Superman cartoons on DVD, I was ecstatic but I was disappointed that they are releasing the the 77 series before the 1968 or 69 series. That series was more superior and it had more action. Don't get me wrong, I liked this cartoon but I believe the only reason, as it has been stated in the other reviews here,this series is being released is because that Adam West and Burt Ward are doing the voices and this will sell because of that fact since the live action series has yet to released on DVD.
This series had no action(it was toned down due to the restrictions of the time period)and most of the stories stunk(though the Bat-Message segments at the end of each episode were enlighting.......RIIIIGHT). The saving grace for this series (if there was any) was Lou Scheimer's voice over as Bat-Mite. I thought that it was hilarious and it was the reason I tuned in each week just to see what he was going to do next. I give kudos to Lennie Weinrib for making an effort to do the the voices of The Joker and Commisioner Gordon but they sounded too much alike.
I will buy this to be a part of my Batman collection as I will the Superman DVD but I will be happier when Warner Home Video releases the other Batman Filmation series,Aquaman and the Superboy cartoons.
Oh yeah,I will be even happier when they release the 66 Batman live action series,The Green Hornet TV Series and the Tarzan, Lord of The Jungle Filmation series.
