A couple of day ago marked the 20th birthday of the launch of Batman: The Animated Series.
Bruce Timm's and his team have not only created a phenomenal series, with unequalled writing, voice acting and aesthetics, they also created a full brand of series, based on other DC characters from Superman to the Justice League, each following this model.
They even created one brand new universe with Batman Beyond, set in the Gotham of the future, where a young man in search of redemption takes up Batman's mantle under the tutelage of a retired Bruce Wayne.
Beyond these facts, the series real achievement was to set new standards for american animated series and to inspire a whole generation of writers and artists.
