Batman: The Animated Series was a revolutionary animated series. The series did not talk down to it's viewers and took it's subject matter very seriously. The action was intense and the drama was almost unforgiving. Viewers saw what made villians tick and what drove Batman to be Gotham's vigilante. The dynamic series spawned a new technique in animation using black backgrounds that would eventually be dubbed "Dark Deco." Dark Deco gave every scene within Gotham an extraordinary look, redefining the image of the city.
The series also revamped the classic characters, casting a unique perspective on their origins and personalities. The series included all the popular characters and even created some new ones. The most significant change was the transformation of the Dick Grayson/Robin character in the "new" 90's costume, resulting in a hipper more adult representation which the character has never seen. The Batman character continued to embody the dark image fans have come to love while maintaining the heroic qualities identified with the character.

Pick! Pick!"></a>Another significant change was the transformation of the Rogues Gallery of Villains. From the ever-popular Joker to the more obscure Clock King, the series displayed each villain's unique personality to perfection and introduced new characters, including the popular Harley Quinn. Although she wasn't born into the Batman universe until the seventh episode of the series, Harley quickly overshadowed such long time favorites as Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Thanks to Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn will be a staple in the Batman genre forever. The animated series hada bigger impact than anyone ever thought it would.
And now, on the eve of it's 10th year on the airwaves, World's Finest has decided to turn to the fans to find out what episode can be dubbed "The Best Batman: The Animated Series Episode Ever". Over the next three month, the website, in conjunction with <a href="http://news.toonzone.net">Toon Zone News</a>, will hold weekly polls to determine the best episode. After the initial round of polls are complete (as well below), the second round will determine the the best episode. The poll will be completed on April 22nd, the day before the first of (hopefully) many Batman: The Animated Series DVDs to hit the shelves.
Once the best episode is determined, World's Finest will attempt to get the creators behind this much acclaimed series to discuss and talk about the 'best' episode. While the best episode will be revealed early, the page and accompanying commentary, etc, will be unveiled on September 5th, 2002 to coincide with the original airdate of this amazing animated series.
Please spread the word of this poll as fan participation is a must to get this poll to work. Tell your friends. Post this info on other sites, mention it to whomeevr you can. Let's make this poll the final word on the best episode. Also, until September 5th, mini-polls will be put up at random to determine favorite characters, villians, guest appearances, gadgets, etc...
