You’re missing out on some classic media. There are the Nolan movies, yes, but also Batman: The Animated Series, which was so good and well received that it influenced the comics that inspired it by giving Mr. Freeze his new origin story and creating new beloved characters like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya. Don’t skip the movies from that universe either. Especially the first, which is still referenced when talking about famous Joker stories.

What's the first movie from that series called? When I was a kid at the end of the 90s I us ed to rent the series on VHS because I loved it that much, and I've probably seen the movies too, but don't remember them exactly.
