The New Batman Adventures (often shortened as TNBA) is an American
superhero animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero
Batman, and is a continuation of the 1990s Batman: The Animated
Series. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and aired on Kids'
WB from September 13, 1997 to January 16, 1999.Stories in this series
tend to give more focus to Batman's supporting cast, which include
fellow crimefighters Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl, among others. The
show also features guest stars such as Supergirl, Etrigan the Demon
and The Creeper; characters who would later appear with Batman in
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. The 2001 video game
Batman: Vengeance and its follow-up Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu are based
on this series.The New Batman Adventures premiered on Kids' WB just
two years after Batman: The Animated Series ended its original run on
Fox Kids. The animation style was changed significantly from BTAS and
the show had a significant change in focus from the original series,
with episodes focusing less on Batman and more on the many characters
that inhabited Gotham City.[1] The art became more streamlined and
darker with simpler color schemes, while the Art Deco and film noir
imagery from the original series were replaced with a more modern
look.[2]Batman was given a sleeker, brawnier appearance with an
overall darker costume; the yellow ellipse surrounding the bat emblem
on his chest and the blue highlights of his cape and cowl were both
removed and his utility belt has pouches instead of capsules and is
now light brown instead of yellow, which resembles his appearance in
Batman: Year One.[1] His gadgets and vehicles were given a sleeker,
redesigned look with a more black color scheme. Bruce Wayne's
appearance was also changed from the previous series; his hair was
brushed back to highlight his face, with blue eyes instead of black,
and his regular business suit was changed from brown to black. Kevin
Conroy's voice for Batman became more stern, as well as less
distinguishable from his voice for Bruce than in the original series.
The writers made an effort to keep Batman's dialogue as terse and grim
as possible, in order to heighten the contrast between him and the
lighthearted supporting cast.[1]
