Batman the Animated Series is apparently a huge part of a ton of childhoods. Except mine, because I somehow kept missing it. But from giving characters much better back stories to creating a few characters that we couldn’t imagine not having today to just being objectively awesome, it’s an important part of today’s Batman culture.

So of course it had a game to go with it. You know, besides the Gameboy title that it actually shared a name with the series. Listen in as Chris Sims from War Rocket Ajax, The ISB, and writer of some Marvel things comes to talk about a wonderful pair of Batman games, and a few others that exist.

Learn such things as:

What secret history do Chris and Chris have?

How influential was this series to both Batman and animation in general?

What episodes does Batmanologist Chris Sims recommend from the animated series? Heart of Ice Beware the Gray Ghost The Forgotten Shadow of the Bat Two-Face The Man Who Killed Batman
