    Default Batman: The Animated Series Mount Rushmore.

    Who do you put on a Batman: The Animated Series Mount Rushmore? So hard a question and difficult to answer. My go:

    Kevin Conroy.
    Mark Hamill.
    Paul Dini.
    Bruce Timm.

    Honourable mentions to Arleen Sorkin, Andrea Romano, Shirley Walker and Alan Burnett.

    I think it would be difficult to argue against those four being the right picks.

    Yeah, those are the big four overall.

    Individual episodes or productions, on the other hand, is probably more debatable.

    For the original BTAS run (pre-redesign), I’d submit these stories:

    Mask of the Phantasm
    Heart of Ice
    Almost Got ‘Im
    Two-Face I & II
    Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?

    I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

    My Mt Rushmore of BTAS episodes:

    Mask of the Phantasm
    Heart of Ice
    Two-Face (1 & 2)
    Feat of Clay (1 & 2)

    Is it clear I love a tragic villain? Lol.

    I'll add that Robin's Reckoning was the point I realised Robin isn't completely lame (a pop culture holdover opinion, mostly from the 60's show/HB cartoons). The whole 2-parter is fantastic, but the ending with Batman saying " Zucco's taken so much, caused you so much pain. I couldn't stand the thought that he might... take you, too" might be my favourite Batman and Robin moment of all time.
    "Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"

    "I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
