The Batman - Season 1, Vol. 1 - Training for Power (DC Comics Kids Collection) Reviews:
Decent item. OK for smaller child with Batman cartoons. 
2009-01-16 - My four year old really wanted a 'Batman' video from Santa, for Christmas. After researching on line for something mildly appropriate for him, rather impresionable, so it fits the bill. Cinamatically speaking it is not so illustrious. Price was right as was actual product condition, except for ripped DVD cover but isn't so bad overall.
This batman is a joke! 
2006-03-29 - I love batman, but this version of batman is by far the worst version ever created (including all the live action, animation, or comic book versions of batman). I have no clue why they are wasting animation resourses on a crap cartoon like this, when they could be putting it toward quality cartoons like Justice League. Warner Bros. needs to get a clue. I might not be a kid anymore (I'm the ripe old age of 21), but if I ever have kids I can promise you they will not be allowed to watch this. They will be watching all of the Batman the animated series dvds that I bought last month. Please parents (and kids) go buy those dvds (or superman the animated series, or justice league, or batman beyond, or x-men, or even teen titans) instead of wasting your money on this crapola.
KIDS HATE THIS SHOW!
2005-12-19 - This version of Batman is for morons! My 12 years old cousin came to my house to stay in Christmas week. He told me that he watch this miserable show on TV. He told me about the atrocities that criminal producer Sam made with Batman.
I told him that I have Batman cartoons in my DVD stand and he told me he wanted to watch it. Immediately, I picked up my two seasons of the 90's Batman TAS serie and my four animated movies for him to watch. So I put him to watch the first season of Batman TAS. And guess what? He LOVED IT! He also told me he wanted a copy! He told me as we was watching "Uncle, I like this cartoons more than the ones on TV".
Do yourself a favor: avoid like the plague this DVD and buy a Scooby Doo cartoon for your kid, instead of this. He will thank you.
Formulaic Saturday Morning Fare 
2005-10-14 - If you're looking for something groundbreaking like B:TAS or "The New Batman Adventures," you'll have to look elsewhere. "The Batman" is nothing new. In fact, it's the kind of Saturday morning show you might have seen in the late-80's. This re-imagining abandons many if not all of the conventions that made the other animated shows great. No longer are the villains multi-layered and complex; rather they are the standard cardboard cutouts that exist solely for the purpose of fighting the hero. Further, Batman mythos mainstay James Gordon is abandoned in favor of two "hipper" more "kid-friendly" replacements that serve the same function. On the plus side, the animation is good; but it is still not enough to make up for the series' shortcomings. I understand the second season was better, but if so, they must have made some major changes. All in all, a disappointment.
Not as good as BTAS,but I respect it for what it is.
2005-09-30 - I am much more of a fan of the original Batman series,but this series isnt bad either. The original Batman was not dumbed down for kids(like the spider man series.)IT DIDNT HAVE LASER GUNS.I didnt expect much after I heard about this show. After BTAS, you just dont need another Batman series, but I was surprised. If you want the cool stylized film noir Batman, get the three box sets,but if you are fine about a step down from the seriousness of the first series,get this. It's only three episodes(WHOOPDY DOO),but it's afine series. Just dont expect too much.
