2.0 out of 5 stars poor product, July 10, 2001

Of all the versions of Batman that comics have inspired, I enjoy this series the most. Paul Dini, the developer and producer of this series, places Batman in a special world--an odd combination of contemporary science and a noir/deco-era society. Further, Dini has dared to invest these characters with fully developed personalities. If any treatment of Batman can overcome the high-camp concept generated by the '60s-era live-action series, THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN & ROBIN should do it. I cannot recommend these stories highly enough--exciting for children and entertaining for adults both. These stories make for real family entertainment.
However, I must add just a quick note here (and I'll append it to every review I make of tapes in this series)--while I think the Dini-produced animated Batman has been one of the hallmarks of 90s animation, I do not advise buying the tapes in this series because they are not recorded in SP mode. You will get fuzzy pictures and sound. It is a shame that these excellent programs do not get the packaging they deserve.

Okay, granted, the series is excellent; great animation, great stories, great dialogue, great film-noir scenery and great vocal acting. The problem #1 that the opening for the original series was incredibly cool. Batman solo knocking over a couple of bank robbers done in an gorgeous sillouette style. Then they decide that they need to promote Robin's merchandise as well, so they scrap that piece of art for a slipshod clip-fest of Robin in action taken from the show. They didn't even bother to make up a new intro for Robin, they just strung a bunch of clips together. Problem #2 (and this is the big one) is that the high and mighty WB in all their wisdom have not only decided to release this video tape in the third speed (EP or SLP) mode (thereby saving money on tape by offering the customer an inferior product) but they also deemed it neccessary to release it in a MONO format!!!! The nerve!
My advice to you would be to tape it from TV. You'll get a better quality recording. Or better yet, wait until they decide to release this on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars this video is a great way to get out of spanish class, October 2, 2000

Like I said in the title, this video is a really great way to get out of spanish class. My Spanish 4 teacher said the episodes were "muy bueno". Even if you don't speak spanish it's still a great video to have ,because you can put the close caption on and read the words while you watch the program. The tape contains two episodes which are: Dream in Darkness (with the scarecrow) and Beware of the Grey Ghost (which contains batmans childhood hero). In Dream of Darkness batman goes loco and winds up in Arkum . In the english version of Beware of the Grey Ghost, Adam West does the voice of the Grey Ghost A.K.A. Simon Trent. Amazon also has the english version on tape too, which is really cool. I only gave this one 4 stars because the english one is better I think only because my native language is english.
