Batman Volume 4 not quite as good as 1-3.

Batman Volume 4 definitely has a different feel than the previous collections did. The first two dvd collections consist entirely of episodes from the groundbreaking BATMAN:THE ANIMATED SERIES cartoon. However, certain episodes on volume 3 and the entire collection of cartoons on Volume 4 are from THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN. Most of the voices are the same, and there are new characters introduced.Nightwing makes his first appearance in Volume 4, and Robin is now Tim Drake , Batgirl is also a emi regular member of the 'team' as well.
While I think the episodes on Volume 4 are great and welcome the introduction of the new characters from the Batman family, it must be said that the 4th installment is decidedly less darker than the early episodes. Batman is no longer the grim loner he was in the first two seasons, but is now the head of a team of super heroes. Robin is truly a 'boy' wonder, with wise cracks to boot. there is no camp, thank goodness.
The animation is a bit different as well, viewers will notice some differences in the appearance of the major villains. Some , like Killer Croc - look better, while others , like The Joker - do not.
Still a great animated series, still well worth owning. but definitely different.
