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.Read full review
All of the DVDs in this series have been excellent - this final collection shows a later Batman than the earlier stories, and is set several years later. Dick Greyson is no longer Robin - he's fighting crime separately as Nightwing. The new Robin is Tim Drake (Jason Todd, the second and least popular Robin in the comics, isn't mentioned). Batgirl is still active, and Catwoman is her usual ambiguous self, sometimes fighting crimes but usually committing them. It's apparent that there are other superheroes in the world, though Supergirl is the only one to appear, in a one-off story in which she teams up with Batgirl to fight Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Superman villainess Shocker. The feel isn't quite as dark as the earlier stories, largely because of the increased cast of characters, but it's still a lot of fun. I just wish that there were more.Read full review
My son has to watch Batman at least every other day. This series allows him to watch short episodes without burnng me out watching the same thing over and over. There were a couple of episodes that were a little dark for a 4 year old, but overall the content has life lessons that are easy to recognize even for his age. The short episodes work great with his short attention span (age related) and has him acting out several of the episodes while it is playing. If you like Batman, this one is for you!
Hard to find something aimed at children yet captivates the imagination for adults. Only success in that field usually comes from Pixar, but they managed to do it here all those yrs ago. They'll never allow a childrens cartoon to be this good ever again.

Love this series, it's like watching mini batman movies! I am an adult and love these cartoons!!! This fourth set is a bit darker in content and has language, so I do not recommend for small children. But for me, I wanted to complete my set and was not disappointed.
