Summary: Another great option for young Batman fans
Comment: You can read my review of Volume One. Rest assured there's plenty to enjoy in Volume Two.
I have two boys (a 5 year old and a 4 year old). They are too young to watch the Batman movies -- Batman Begins and The Dark Knight -- but that doesn't stop them from enjoying the Caped Crusader. These DVD collections are meant for die-hard fans but young children can enjoy them, too.

Summary: great fun!
Comment: This is a must have series for any Batman fan, and even if your not, give it a try. It was fun for the whole family and my husband said he felt like a kid again, waiting for the next episode. We all really enjoyed this!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great season, great show
Comment: This is probably one of my all time favorite things to watch. Period. Even though this volume is the weakest out of the four DVD sets, these episodes were and still are better than anything you'll see on Saturday morning.
This volume should be noted for the episode "Harley & Ivy," which I think really fleshed Harley out into a character that was essential to Batman continuity. And you can be sure that people noticed seeing as her character was added to the comics after this cartoon aired.
Overall, not as great as the other volumes, but still worth every penny and every one of the five stars I have given it. This is a show that does not disappoint.

Summary: Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Two
Comment: Really good set of DVDs for all the family to enjoy. Story lines are great and continue on well from the first series.

Summary: Remind us why it's good; then make it better
Comment: These DVDs are the only ridiculously overpriced cartoon series I would purchase (or ask for as gifts) before marketers came to their senses and realized almost no season of anything should be worth more than 15 to 20 dollars.
The guys who made this bothered to read Batman books. Old ones. New ones. Good ones. Dorky ones. Then they thought about what made it cool. They borrowed all the fun parts of the first Tim Burton movie, then made one of the first multi-emmy winning cartoons ever. Now that they had made Batman cool again, they didn't stop. Filming each episode like a mini-movie (as they describe in excellent commentaries), they decide to dig up old DC comics characters, like Zatarra, the Grey Ghost (voiced by Adam West), and the Creeper, and then they create new characters that fit so well into the cannon that they get spin-offs, like Bullock, Montoya, and of course Harley Quinn. But the best part is probably how they manage to take dopey things, like Robin, who never really made sense as a side kick (let's dress a kid in bright red and name him after a bird) and manage to make it serious and cool.
This set and each of the other three are excellent. The extras are fine, commentaries most of all, but these guys went on to make Batman Beyond, and then Justice League, again taking strange and semi-unknown characters (Martian Manhunter and the Atom for example) and making them very cool. I can't recommend it enough if you haven't seen them, and if you have, you'll want to keep them.
Almost every episode is excellent
