Hard to believe this masterpiece of a series is turning 30 this year.

Been a Batman fan since 87 with SuperFriends reruns at age 6 and was 8 seeing the 1989 movie 4 times in theaters even collecting the comics and graphic novels since 89. I recalled back in 1990 in comicscene magazine and starlog that WB announced doing an animated series in 1992 along with Batman Returns, i couldn't wait.

As in various magazines from 1991 to early 1992, i couldn't wait as it was one of my most awaited shows and i was 11 when the show debuted on Fox as a saturday morning sneak preview 2 part episode and on some sunday nights then afternoons as i dug it and been my favorite animated show since. I even saw the WB seasons as a teen.

Inspired by the Fleschier cartoons of Superman (in seasons 1 and 2 then anime in season 3) and Tim Burton's movies with the comics, this series was groundbreaking bringing in all ages from kids, teens and adults alike as it broke new ground showing that a superhero animated show can be serious. It paved the way for Gargoyles to Spawn.

How many of you remembered when it debuted?
