The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The Batman is an Emmy Award-winning American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. It ran from 2004 to 2008, on the Saturday morning television block Kids WB.

Although the series borrows many elements from previous Batman storylines, it does not follow the continuity set by the comic books, the Burton-Schumacher films, nor that of the previous Batman: The Animated Series or its spin-offs.[citation needed] The character designs were provided by Jackie Chan Adventures artist Jeff Matsuda. The series won two Emmy Awards and one Annie Award.
