It was 17 years ago when The Batman premiered on the Kid's WB. Eventually shifting to Cartoon Network for subsequent seasons the six-time Emmy Award-winning series focused on a young, 20-something-year-old Bruce Wayne's early adventures as he balances his daytime persona as a bachelor billionaire with his nighttime guise as a caped crimefighter. Now Warner Bros. Animation and DC, are releasing all 65 episodes of The Batman: The Complete Series on Blu-ray for the very first time.

Bruce's personal life bleeds into his crime-fighting as his close friends Detective Ethan Bennett (Steve Harris) and Detective Ellen Yin (Ming-Na Wen) become entangled in his nocturnal activities, with disastrous results.
