The TVI Take

The 2001-2004 animated series from the DC Animated Universe is the rare superhero show that takes its characters seriously as moral agents. Each episode wrestles with genuine ethical questions, civil liberties, the ethics of pre-emptive action, the cost of power without accountability.

Bruce Timm and team brought the same sophistication that defined Batman: The Animated Series to a larger canvas. The team dynamics are richly drawn and the villains are ideologically coherent. Exceptional storytelling for animation of any era.
