Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Happy Birthday Batman

An official DC Comics calendar published for 1976 identified February 19th as Bruce Wayne’s birthday. Other dates have been mentioned in the comics as possibly being the Batman’s birthday yet the nineteenth of February still seems the most canonically recognized. Really, a Pisces?

In any case, to celebrate the Dark Knight’s birthday here are paper cut-outs of Batman in all his various animated forms. Who knew there were so many?

The Adventures Of Batman was the first Batman cartoon series and ran from 1968 to 1969. It stared Olan Soule in the role of Batman with a young Casey Kasem in the role of Robin.

The SuperFriends brought Batman together with the world’s greatest heroes and ran from 1973 all the way to 1986. Soul and Kasem both reprised their roles as Batman and Robin in the series.

The New Adventures of Batman ran for a single season in 1977 featuring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. This was a particularly silly show and featured a great deal of a magical imp known as Bat-Mite.

1992 saw the advent of the greatest cartoon of all time as Batman: The Animated Series debuted and ran through to 1995. The great Kevin Conroy provided the voice for Batman.

The New Batman Adventures was a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series with some updated stylistic changes. It ran from 1997 to 1999, featuring Conroy as Batman.

Batman Beyond entailed a Gotham City of the future where an aged Bruce Wayne trains a young man on his path to filling the mantle of The Batman. It ran from 1999 to 2001 and stared Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne and Will Friedle as his protégé, Terry McGinnis.

Justice League brought the Superfriends back together this time under the banner of The Justice League (and later Justice League Unlimited). It ran from 2001 to 2006 and once more featured Kevin Conroy in the role of Batman.

The Batman, which ran from 2004 to 2008, departed from the continuity established in Batman: The Animated Series and presented a new version of the Caped Crusader and his various allies and adversaries. It starred Rino Romano in the role of Batman with Evan Sabara and Danielle Judovits as Robin and Batgirl.

Echoing the campiness of 1966, Batman: The Brave and The Bold was a fun, light-hearted anthology series that ran from 2004 to 2008. Each episode saw Batman teaming up with different heroes of the DC Universe for madcap adventures. Diedrich Bader stared as Batman.

The series Young Justice, which ran non-concurrently from 2010 to 2022, focused primarily on Robin and the other younger heroes as they made their way from being sidekicks to a team in the own right. Batman featured in many of the episodes where he was voiced by Bruce Greenwood.

Beware the Batman from for a single season in 2013. Anthony Ruivivar voiced Batman in this dark, largely computer animated series.

Batman Unlimited ran from 2015 to 2016. This was primarily a commercial in animated form featuring short, action-packed stories in tandem with the release of action figures and toy vehicles. Roger Craig Smith provided the voice for Batman.

Justice League Action brought back the League for more light-hearted adventures with a star-studded cast. It ran from 2016 to 2018 with Kevin Conroy returning to once again voice Batman.

Batman appeared as a periodic guest star in the DC Super Hero Girls series, which ran from 2019 to 2022. Herein Batman spoke in a barely audible growl that only the other characters could comprehend. Whereas actor Keith Ferguson provided the voice for Bruce Wayne, who further hid his secret identity as the the Caped Crusader by featuring in the ridiculous reality TV show, ‘Making it Wayne.’

A lampooned version of the Dark Knight sporadically features in the zany Harley Quinn animated series, premiering in 2019. Diedrich Bader reprises his role from Batman: The Brave and The Bold, voicing this decidedly goofier version of the Dark Knight.

And finally, hopefully debuting some time soon, Batman: The Caped Crusader acts as a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series and features the final acting role of the late, great Kevin Conroy, reprising Batman one last time.
