The New Batman Adventures is an animated superhero series that served as a direct continuation of Batman: The Animated Series, with the same creative team returning. The series sees Batman continue fighting crime in Gotham City, this time teamed up with Batgirl and a new Robin. Airing on Kids' WB from 1997 to 1999, it alternated its time slot with Superman: The Animated Series on the same network, even crossing over with it in The Batman/Superman Movie.
The series received positive reviews, but was often derided as a slight downgrade from its predecessor, with its more streamlined animation and supernatural storylines. In home media and on Max, the series is often branded as the "fourth season" of BTAS. It directly led into the animated film Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, the animated series Batman Beyond and Justice League, and was followed up by the comic series Batman: The Adventures Continue decades later.
