Reception The Batman received a mostly favorable response from fans and critics (7.3/10 IMDb), with praise aimed at the modernized take on the classic Batman comic book mythos, the unique and interesting twists to the characters, and the performances of the voice cast, such as Rino Romano's portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman. However, the show never won over diehard fans the way the earlier animated series did, with criticism leveled on the odd character designs, deviations from the Batman mythos and animation style. Nevertheless, The Batman was a critical and commercial success and popular enough to last for five seasons.
