Reception
The Batman also received its share of criticism with critics and fans, particularly when compared with Batman: The Animated Series. CraveOnline's Iann Robinson placed the show at #5 in a list for the "Top 5 Worst Superhero Cartoons", and compared it negatively to previous animated adaptations of the character: "I’m not sure how we fell from Batman: The Animated Series to the wholly unwatchable The Batman... dark and inventive animation of is replaced with this weird American hybrid of Anime and computer graphics," along with new character origins and makeovers. IGN commented in the article "A History Of Batman" that The Batman's "characters have a much more kiddie and cartoonish feel than those seen in the Animated Series and its kin," and that the "various Batsuits and gadgets and mucho action scenes" were intended to "inspire toys for kids to buy."

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
