Batman: The Animated Series Vol 2 : 5 of 5

I'm so glad that one of the best cartoon series ever produced is available in it's entirety on DVD. I completely enjoyed the Volume 1 set, and now I'm hooked again after watching Volume 2 (which was yet another DVD set I got for Christmas last year)! This set has some of the best episodes of the entire run, including the two-part Robin's Reckoning, which features the original "Flying Graysons" and the death of Dick's parents, which is extremely dramatic and well-staged. There are also two incredible stories that have become classic among Batman fans, namely Almost Got Him (featuring all the villains playing cards and trading Batman fight stories) and Harley and Ivy (the hilarious first team-up of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy). It's cool to see the first appearances of Barbara Gordon in several episodes, too, before she dons the Batgirl costume! I was surprised at how many great episodes I had forgotten about - there are lots of creative plots to enjoy in this set. Once again, each DVD contains a commentary track for one of the best episodes on the disc, and it's always interesting to hear Bruce Timm and Paul Dini (among other artists) talk about their work (they love to point out mistakes and dust on the cels, too). I can't wait to check out Volume 3, and there's still Volume 4 to watch after that!
