The series triumphed into what is largely considered one of the best superhero cartoons of all time, and the best depiction of Batman mythology in any format. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the road to genre-defying and genre-defining success was hardly guaranteed. Along the way, co-creator Bruce Timm and his team of artists at Warner Bros Animation battled a landscape that was often antithetical to their aims with Batman. Internal struggles led the writing team and the network to debate everything (literally everything) about how best to depict Batman--from whether or not the eco-friendly hero would have a recycling bin in the Batcave to how many women he was allowed to kiss onscreen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eI Am the Night, \u003c\/i\u003e Daniel Dockery lovingly deep dives into \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Animated Series\u003c\/i\u003e and the cartoon renaissance it inspired, becoming the definitive primary source for new and old fans of the series alike.
