In the first season of The Batman, Bruce Wayne is 26 years old and in his third year as the Batman, protector of Gotham City. Along with a secret batcave, high tech batmobile, and a new technology he created called the Bat-Wave, he has his trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth, who guides both Bruce Wayne and Batman when needed. Other characters are Ethan Bennett, a cop who believes Batman is needed in their city, and at odds with Chief Angel Rojas, who has no room for vigilantes, and Ellen Yin, Bennett's partner who has a conflict between being by the book and her personal feelings toward Batman and his existence. Season 2 introduced more villains with some being fan favorites, complete brand new origins: a sinister version of Riddler, Professor Hugo Strange, Rag Doll, a more mystical oriented Spellbinder, Killer Croc, and a thinner Solomon Grundy. At the end of this season, Ellen Yin is found out to have been working with Batman. Season 3 introduced a young Barbara Gordon, who becomes Batgirl and plays a major role along with her father. Barbara tries to be Batman's sidekick, to which Batman doesn't accept the need for a partner until the end of the Season. This differed from the comics, in which Robin was Batman's sidekick. Season 4 was considered, by fans and the producers, as the show's "fan friendly" season. Season 4 featured a redesign to Bruce Wayne, with a stronger face structure, making him reminiscent of the DC Animated Universe Batman design. Dick Grayson as Robin was finally introduced into the show, as the Teen Titans animated series had been cancelled early in the year before this season started. Robin even bears the same resemblance to the character in the previous show. Batgirl was now part of the team and found out the secret identities of both Batman & Robin, and Lucius Fox was introduced in the season finale. The fifth and final season was said by producer Alan Burnett to be the show's "The Brave and the Bold season." This season primarly focused on the Dynamic Duo (Batman and Robin) teaming up with members of the Justice League. Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon were dropped from the show as main characters, and only appeared rarely as guests or cameos.
