    Not a fan of Beware the Batman, I really dislike the CGI that was used.

    Love them all, but the 1977 one is my least favorite.

    I've made it a rule to not speak ill of superhero TV shows or movies that came out before 1980.

    So of the four I would say The Batman, it was competently made but for whatever reason I found it forgettable. At least Beware the Batman tried to bring new elements to the Batman mythos besides character redesigns.

    @youknowwhattodo: It is pretty forgetable and has the worst character designs for the Joker and the Riddler.

    The Batman was better than Beware the Batman in every way. I'd also put it above Brave and the Bold.

    @kfabz-23: Yeah Brave and the Bold wasnt really good it was really campy, but I liked how they used so many DC characters and it actually introduced me to several of the characters. I also know a lot of people that love it thats why I didnt have it as an option.

    Beware the Batman is really good and doesn't deserve the hatred it gets.

    The 1977 cartoon was godawful, even by 70's standards.

    @teneyedmen: Beware the Batman probably does get too much hate. Its biggest flaw is that it is too bold for its own good and its repulsive animation. Also cool name I think Ten Eyed Man was rumored to appear in season 2, but I could be wrong.

    One big problem with Beware the Batman were in my opinion the villains. They didn't manage to make the obscure villains interesting. Some resembled more copies of more popular villains (Magpie, Anarky) than their own comicbook counterpart, some felt total generic (Silver Monkey, Shiva) and some felt totally out of place for the tone/style of the cartoon (Pyg, Humpty Dumpty). The only who really worked were the established ones like Deathstroke and Ras.

    Beware the Batman sucks in my book.

    I'm slogging through it now, and yeah. It's pretty bad. The decision to not use mainstay villains really hurt the show, particularly when Anarky is a reskinned Joker or Magpie is Catwoman in another costume. Seeing Silver Monkey and Shiva is a novelty, though.

    With that said, I'm going to rate in descending order my favorite Batman cartoons.

    1. Batman tas.

    2.The Batman

    3. Batman Beyond.

    4.Justice League.

    5. Beware the Bat

    6. Batman Brave and the Bold.

    Beware the Batman, the poor choice of villains really killed the series
