What Season 2 of The New Batman Adventures
The New Batman Adventures continues the animated series from Warner Bros. Animation and airs on The WB as part of the Kids' WB block. Batman defends Gotham City from villains such as the Joker, Catwoman and the Penguin, but shares the spotlight with Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl. The hero keeps a serious, restrained tone, while the rest of the cast brings lighter humor. The episodes present a variety of threats: a villainess named Roxy Rocket who hits different locations, a cult that hunts Catwoman for stealing a feline statue, and the Mad Hatter using animals from the circus where the Grayson family once worked. The team must stay united in the face of these dangers.
