Primary
The series explores timeless themes of crime, justice, and morality, often highlighting the psychological complexity of its characters and the failures of institutions. It balances critiques of systemic issues with an emphasis on individual responsibility, resulting in a neutral political stance.
The animated series features visible diversity in its cast, consistent with established character origins, rather than explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on superhero themes and character development, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The show features Batgirl, a skilled martial artist, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, including various thugs and henchmen.
The New Batman Adventures, a children's animated series from the late 1990s, does not contain any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on traditional superhero storytelling without addressing queer identities or experiences.
The New Batman Adventures faithfully adapts established DC Comics characters, maintaining their canonical genders as depicted in source material and prior iterations. No instances of gender swapping for significant characters are present.
The animated series maintains the established racial depictions of its core characters as presented in the DC Comics source material and its predecessor, Batman: The Animated Series. No characters canonically established as one race are portrayed as a different race.
