  • In addition to the network's demands, the producers decided to make the show match the graphic style of Superman: The Animated Series, so all the characters and objects were redesigned as more "animation friendly" with fewer lines, usually referred to by the fans and creative staff as the "revamp" (or alternately, the "new look"). A similar graphic style was used in the rest of the DCAU later on. The DVD box set of the series is labeled Batman: The Animated Series – Volume Four (from The New Batman Adventures), most likely to establish the connection with the original series.

ShortSummary
  • A new hero has arrived in Gotham, but as the title suggests, her identity is a mystery—even to Batman. During patrol, the Dynamic Duo spots her trying to stop one of the Penguin's shipments on Gotham's interstate, and apparently she would use lethal force, since she uses a plasma rifle that sends the Penguin's truck with its driver off the bridge. Batman and Robin save the driver from falling to his death. Batman must figure out who Batwoman is and stop familiar enemies the Penguin and Rupert Thorne from selling illegal weapons to the fictional nation of Kasnia. Bane is also involved, as is Carlton Duquesne, a gangster employed by the dealers to provide protection. The film included Chase Me, a silent short with Catwoman.
  • During a fight with the Scarecrow, Batgirl is ambushed on a rooftop and falls to her death. Having watched his daughter's demise, Jim Gordon blames Batman for her fate and vows revenge, even recruiting Bane in the process.
  • When on patrol on his own, Robin runs into Nightwing and he tells Robin the story of how he and Batman grew apart. The story reveals how Batgirl discovered Batman and the original Robin's true identities, and also explains some of what went wrong with Barbara and Dick's relationship.
  • Exposure to a weird mixture of chemicals, including the Joker's laughing gas, changes straitlaced newsman Jack Ryder into the crazed Creeper. He looks to kill the Joker, and develops a much unwanted crush on Harley.
  • Static works with Batman to stop the Joker and his gang of bang babies.
  • Static reteams with Batman to help a girl who's powers are being used by Harley and Ivy to steal shipments of gold.
  • Robin fights to protect a young girl with amnesia named Annie who is being stalked by her "father", who turns out to be Clayface. Having created the girl from his own body to scout out the city, he now intends to reabsorb her.
  • Three holiday-themed vignettes: Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn kidnap Bruce Wayne and use his credit cards for a shopping spree. While shopping for a gift for her father, Barbara Gordon spots a group of shoplifters that turn out to be portions of Clayface. Batman and Robin race to stop the Joker from killing the crowd at the Gotham City New Year Celebration. Note: This episode takes place after the episodes "Sins of the Father", which introduces Tim Drake, and "Growing Pains", which brings Clayface back after his apparent death in "Mudslide".
  • Livewire escapes during a prison transfer and wreaks havoc in Gotham. She also joins forces with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. With Batman and Superman away, Batgirl and Supergirl must team up to face the terrible trio and bring them to justice.
  • Former stuntwoman and adrenaline junkie Roxanne Sutton becomes the rocket-riding thief Roxy Rocket, to chase danger and excitement.
  • Bruce Wayne, along with other wealthy denizens of Gotham, fall in love with their ideal mate, who all happen to have green eyes. Bruce decides to marry, and gives up being Batman forever. However, an old enemy's latest plot is being set into motion... Note: Dick Grayson appears in this episode yet his alter ego, Nightwing does not.
  • The Scarecrow develops a new toxin that, rather than inducing fear, eliminates it, making average people incredibly reckless and dangerous, including Batman.
  • Batman tries to help Catwoman, who is being chased by a cat cult due to a statue she stole.
  • Young orphan Tim Drake becomes Batman's new ward when he becomes involved in one of Two-Face's deadly plots. Note: An uncostumed Dick Grayson appears at the end while Nightwing does not appear.

  • Batman and Superman team up to take on their respective arch-enemies - the Joker and Lex Luthor.
  • Baby Doll becomes enamored of Killer Croc, and the pair forms a very unlikely yet very successful criminal duo. However, their partnership soon falls apart when Baby Doll learns that Croc is only using her to further his own criminal career.
  • Ra's al Ghul needs Superman's strength to fully heal, so Batman steps in to stop him.
  • Superman comes to Gotham to fill in for Batman, who has mysteriously disappeared.
  • A lovelorn pyrotechnic engineer, Garfield Lynns, gets dumped by a big time singer named Cassidy. Lynns becomes the supervillain Firefly, bent on burning the woman who burned him.
  • After the events in "SubZero" Mr. Freeze has been forced to be bound to a new robotic body. His wife Nora has been revived, but believing him dead, she has remarried and left Gotham. If Freeze can't have a life of happiness, nobody can, so he begins lashing out at the city by destroying what people care about so they can feel the same pain he feels.
  • A series of thefts is being committed by circus animals in a town where Nightwing's old circus is performing. Is it an old friend that is training the animals to steal, or someone else?
  • Batman and Robin assist occultist Jason Blood when Klarion the Witch-boy takes control of Blood's alter-ego, Etrigan the Demon. This episode was the final performance of actor Stephen Wolfe Smith , who died shortly afterwards.
  • Harley reflects on her first meeting with the Joker as she plots to eliminate her main competition in his attentions – Batman. She captures the Dark Knight and she wants to gain Joker's favor by doing away with him. But of course, the crazy clown's massive ego would never allow anyone else the "honor" of doing away with his mortal enemy. Note: Adaptation of the 1994 comic of the same name.
  • Crime boss Edward "King" Barlowe dies and in his will leaves his arch-rival, the Joker, a large fortune of $250 million. The Joker immediately goes on a shopping spree, even searching for a replacement for Harley Quinn, but realizes too late that almost all of the money is fake as a joke of Barlowe's to trick him. Note: Based on the comic of the same name.

  • A mysterious new vigilante dressed as a judge appears in Gotham City. But this is no ordinary judge for he targets the rogues' gallery of villains with vicious fury. Batman is the only one person who must discover the Judge's identity and stop him before he crosses the line.
