Gotham Adventures is the third comic book series based on Batman: The Animated Series (following Batman Adventures and Batman and Robin Adventures.) This book collects Issues 1-6 of that series.
Issue 1: “With a Price on His Head:” The double length opener finds everyone in the city is gunning for the Joker as the father of one of his victims has put a $50 million price on the Joker’s head, leading to a public safety problem and Batman forced to hide the Joker: the one place the Joker will be safe: The Batcave. Overall, a bang up first issue that manages plenty of action, a bit of comedy, and a great moment of truth. Grade: A
Issue 2: “Lucky Day:” Two-face takes over a TV studio where one lucky winner is going to walk away a millionaire, though if Two-face has anything to say about it, he won’t walk away at all. The story tries to offer additional insight into Two-faces past, but it seems forced, as does the ending. Not a bad story, but a bit flawed. Grade: B-
Issue 3: “Just Another Day,”: A sequel to “I’ve Got Batman in My Basement,” with a Batman obsessed kid with Batman in his belfry. A little monotonous at the beginning, but had a very cute ending. Grade: B
Issue 4: “Claws,” Batman’s relationship with Cat-woman was not as friendly in the New Animated series as it was in Batman: TAS. This is the story of how their relationship changed. A solid character piece. Grade: B+
Issue 5: “Polar Opposites,” Mister Freeze is stuck as only a head but is given access to his body suit to pursue Grant Walker as part of a rescue attempt for one of Bruce Wayne’s scientists, accompanied by Night Wing and Batgirl. Why he even cares is a mystery that’s answered only at the end. Okay, but not all that engaging. Grade: B-
Issue 6: “Last Chance,” In a previous Batman series, Boston Brand appeared but didn’t die and become Deadman (the paranormal with the ability to take over the bodies of others. Instead, he became a gymnast who went by the name of Deadman and wore the costume because you always want to dress the part if you might want to become an avenging spirit of justice. Brand dies and hunts his killer. The story is lackluster with little for Batman to do and Deadman is pretty much brought to a complete end and the story feels dull and pointless. Grade: D+
Except for the last comic, the stories in the book are good reads with the first issue being a truly solid start. Overall, a good beginning with a few ups and downs.

Growing up during the early 2000's, my first introduction to Batman as a character came through this particular series. Needless to say, this series holds a special place in my heart.
I am aware that it serves as a tie-in to the animated Batman series on TV at the time but the comic still rocks some really awesome visuals. The art style is the epitome of minimalistic grace.
Despite being targeted more towards a younger audience, I found myself enjoying all the stories with a sense of warmth and excitement. Each story is a great rendition of Batman's nightly adventures in the nightmare-scape of Gotham City.
It's a great series to familiarize yourself with Batman and his cast of characters. Give it a go if you're up for some light comic reading.

Very fun!
There is a very well done Joker story in which Batman is forced to take him back to the Bat Cave, it is hilarious. Also, there is an Alfred moment that adds a bonus bit of awesome.
I also really loved the Catwoman story, not only because she is a great character but because it did a really great job illustrating her complicated relationship with Batman.
There is also a Deadman origin story that was decent and an average Mr. Freeze episode.
Overall, a fun comic that lovers of the Animated series will enjoy.

I love these animated-style Batman stories. Really concise renderings of the villains, creative plots and strong meat-and-potatoes characterization. Nothing deep or world shaking, but a very fun book.

This is actually one of my favorite comics book series ever it was really a great beginning.The one thing that i really liked about this series is the art cause these days you barely could see how the person is dressed.Its as if this was linked to the justice league comics book series which i bet was the only thing is i wish it was longer its about 15 to 30 pages long.Yet in the end i believe everyone will enjoy this amazing artwork series.

La continuación temática de la serie Batman Adventures (inspirada en el hit televisivo) intenta una aproximación más compleja, con historias de factura noir sin por eso perder la frescura que caracteriza a la propuesta. Muy recomendable para lectores jóvenes y aquellos que busquen una lectura amena cuya liviandad no sacrifique calidad.

Written and drawn in the same style that made the Gotham Adventures TV shows such a success, these would have each made great episodes.
