The Batman is an animated television series that aired from 2004 to 2008. The show features a young Bruce Wayne, a billionaire who becomes the mysterious vigilante known as Batman to fight crime and evil in Gotham City. While drawing inspiration from various Batman storylines, the series does not adhere to the continuity of earlier Batman comics or previous animated adaptations such as Batman: The Animated Series. Its animation style is distinct and shares visual characteristics with other works by artist Jacki. The series focuses on Batman's early years as he battles criminals and supervillains, separate from the film continuity, including later movies like The Batman directed by Matt Reeves. The character of Batman originates from DC Comics, where he was created by writer Bill Finger. The show exists independently of live-action films and other animated series within the Batman franchise.
