I gave dynamite the nod because it brings me joy every week

 

[O-Blaze]

Yeah. I’m voting to also Light the Fuse

 

[Jimmy King]

Love both and nominated both but I’m going with The Bat.

 

[Keith]

Not really an AEW fan so this was quite easy

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Batman animated all the way because to this day it has the best Batman and best Joker actors

 

[Dubb]

As much as I love AEW Dynamite, I always tend to go with a more "traditional" TV show when making these lists. Plus Batman: TAS is one of the best animated shows ever.

Also the first appearance of Harley Quinn

The Mr. Freeze frozen wife gimmick became canon in the comics after it was created for the show first too

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Also the first appearance of Harley Quinn

Which happened because of one of the creators having a fever dream and watching Days of Our Lives lol

Best depiction of was in the great movie Batman and Robin

 

[Cwalker]

IMO, BTAS has a shot at winning this whole thing

Woah that’s a hot take, or a COLD take should I say?!

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Lol, but that is the legit reasoning behind Harley Quinn's existence.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Batman TAS is the best Batman incarnation right before the Arkham games IMO
Grew up with it, still watch it once in a while
