With a new, darker take on Batman coming out in the near future, it might be time to revisit a show that was many people’s introduction to the character. Batman: The Animated Series was a dark, comic-accurate depiction of the caped crusader and addressed many of the more mature themes surrounding Batman as a character. One of these episodes took a unique approach to dissect who Batman is and what makes him tick. "Perchance to Dream" is the 26th episode aired of Batman: The Animated Series and deals with various facets of what makes Batman work and what makes this take on the character stand out.
